Diligent Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known by his stage name Portable, has shared his views on the upcoming nationwide protest scheduled for August 1st.
In a recent social media announcement, Portable stated that he will not be participating in the demonstration, emphasizing that he needs to continue hustling to make money.
The “Zazuu” crooner criticized Nigerians planning to join the protest, suggesting that they do not take their jobs seriously.
He further advised people to fight for themselves rather than for Nigeria, asserting that the country is already in good shape.
In the video, Portable cursed those asking him to perform during the planned rally. He remarked that there is money and job opportunities in Nigeria, but many people fail to take those who can help them seriously.
The Zeh Nation boss warned against letting their jobs or careers become obstacles to their progress.
In his words, “Please, I still need money, I still dey hustle. If you are not serious with your work, that is when you will go and protest. Fight for yourself, don’t fight for Nigeria. Nigeria is okay. Money dey where money dey. Don’t let your career turn to your barrier.”
