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 pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
