Portable Labels August 1 Protesters as 'Lazy and Poor,' Criticizes Their Actions

Singer Portable has sparked controversy with his recent remarks about Nigerians who protested against bad governance on August 1. In a video shared on social media, Portable criticized the protesters, calling them "lazy and poor."

In the video, Portable argued, "Lazy people. Lazy people are the ones that are the more at the protest ground. If you see work, will do you it?" He questioned the protesters' commitment to genuine change, suggesting that their presence at the protest was insincere. Portable further stated, "You are there shouting ‘End Bad governance’. They should end bad people too." He also raised concerns about the impact of the protest on public property, asking, "Is it the government that steals the tyres and vandalize the cars of people?"

Portable’s comments reflect his ongoing opposition to the protest and have sparked a heated debate on social media about the efficacy and motivations behind the demonstration against poor governance in Nigeria.
