Controversial Nigerian street hip-hop singer, Habeeb Okikiola, famously known as Portable, has shared his views on the planned nationwide protest.
Recall reports are rife about how various groups are organising a protest between August 1 and 10 to express their discontent with the country’s economic hardship, particularly the rising cost of living.
In a post on his Instagram story, Portable argued that there is no need for the protest, stating, “Nigeria is okay.”
He claimed that those planning to protest are “jobless” and should focus on fighting for themselves rather than for Nigeria.
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker emphasised that he would not be participating in the protest.
Portable said, “It won’t be well with anyone who tells me to perform during the protest. Don’t you have a producer too, you should collect the mic and join the protest too.”
He continued, “Please I need money, I’m hustling. If you take your job seriously, you won’t join the protest. Fight for yourself, don’t fight for Nigeria. Nigeria is okay, you are the one who is not okay. There is money in some places, you are the one who didn’t hustle. You are the one who is not loyal to your helper.”
