Amid the economic hardship faced by citizens, controversial Nigerian singer Portable has stated that there is no justification for the planned nationwide protest.
Various groups of Nigerians are organizing a nationwide protest from August 1 to 10, 2024, in response to the rising cost of living under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a post on his Instagram story on Thursday, Portable argued that those planning to protest are jobless and claimed that there is no valid reason for the demonstration.
The singer warned that no one should ask him to perform during the protest and attributed the protest plans 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.
