Popular controversial singer Portable has condemned the planned nationwide protest against rising living costs, calling the move pointless.

His condemnation comes as many Nigerians prepare to protest between August 1 and 10, 2024, in response to the rising economic problems under President Bola Tinubu's administration.

Portable spoke out against the protest in a recent Instagram story, claiming that it demonstrates a lack of personal responsibility and drive.

The musician claimed that those planning to participate are simply idle and jobless and that their time would be better spent pursuing personal development and chances.

Portable clearly stated that he should not be expected to perform at the protests while condemning the protesters for their claimed sloth.

He 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 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.”
