Portable Declines August Protest And Claims It’s for the Poor
Nigerian singer Portable has made headlines with his recent comments about the upcoming nationwide protest scheduled from August 1 to August 10, 2024.
Dubbed #EndBadGovernance, this protest aims to address and challenge issues of poor governance in Nigeria.
Portable, known for his controversial statements, has expressed his view that such protests are primarily for those who are economically disadvantaged.
In a recent viral video, Portable reflected on his past involvement in the 2020 #EndSARS protests, stating that his participation at the time was influenced by his financial struggles.
He suggested that his current perspective is shaped by his improved financial situation.
Portable argued that wealthy individuals, like billionaires Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, typically do not engage in protests, implying that his current stance aligns more with that of affluent individuals.
He contrasted his past and present viewpoints, noting that those with significant wealth, such as Dangote and Otedola, do not typically take part in such demonstrations.
Portable emphasized that his previous participation was driven by his economic status at the time, and now that he has achieved financial stability, he believes his thinking has evolved to align with that of wealthier individuals.
The artist also pointed out that other prominent figures, like Dele Momodu, also refrain from participating in protests, suggesting that people in his current economic bracket would generally avoid such activities.
Portable, who gained prominence with his hit single ‘Zazoo Zeh’ in 2021, has declared that he will not be joining the upcoming protest due to his current financial comfort.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
