Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has criticized the planned nationwide protest scheduled between August 1 and 10, 2024, despite the economic difficulties faced by citizens.
Many Nigerians are organizing the protest in response to the rising cost of living under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. However, in a post on his Instagram story on Thursday, Portable argued that the protest is unnecessary and claimed that those planning to participate are jobless.
He warned that no one should ask him to perform during the protest, attributing the unrest to laziness. “It won’t be well with anyone who tells me to perform during the protest. Don’t you have a producer too? You should also collect the mic and join the protest too,” Portable said.
He continued, “Please, I need money, I’m hustling. If you take your job seriously, you won’t join the protest. Don’t fight for Nigeria, fight for yourself. Nigeria is okay, you are the one who is not okay. There is money in some places, you are the one who did not hustle or not loyal to your helper. You are the one who doesn’t make connections. There are people who can help, there are jobs. You are the one who is not working. Fight for yourself.”
