Despite the economic hardships experienced by residents, popular Nigerian artist Portable has claimed that there is no reason for the planned nationwide protest.
According to reports, many Nigerians, organized by various groups, are preparing a nationwide protest between August 1 and 10, 2024, in response to the growing cost of living under President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Portable stated in a post on his Instagram story on Thursday that there is no reason to protest, alleging that those planning to protest are jobless.
The musician, while warning that no one should ask him to perform at the protest, blamed the situation on 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.
