Controversial singer Portable has dismissed the planned statewide demonstration over the growing cost of living, calling it pointless in the midst of Nigeria’s ongoing economic woes.
This declaration is being made as many Nigerians get ready to protest against President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s worsening economic conditions between August 1 and August 10, 2024.
Portable recently shared his disapproval of the protest on Instagram, claiming that it shows a lack of desire and personal accountability.
The musician argued that those planning to take part are just indolent and unemployed, and that their efforts would be better used seeking opportunities for personal development.
Portable chastised the demonstrators for their supposed indolence and stated clearly that he should not be expected to perform at the demonstrations.
According to him;
“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.
