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 Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
