Amid the economic hardship faced by the citizens, controversial Nigerian singer Portable has stated that there is no reason for the planned nationwide protest.
Many Nigerians, under various bodies, are planning a nationwide protest between August 1 and 10, 2024, following the rising cost of living under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking in a post on his Instagram story on Thursday, Portable argued that there is no reason to protest, claiming people who intend to protest are jobless.
The singer, while warning that no one should ask him to perform during the protest, attributed the development 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.
“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,” Portable said.
