Portable.
Portable, the Nigerian controversy-prone singer, has made yet another derogatory comment about those protesting against hunger and bad governance in Nigeria.
Portable who had earlier said that he would not participate in the protest because he was “rich“, condemned Nigerians participating in the ongoing nationwide protest.
Nigerians had on Thursday, commenced a 10-day protest against economic hardship and soaring inflation in various parts of the country.
The protests have been dubbed ’10 Days of Rage’ with the hashtag #EndBadGovernance.
Commenting on the development Portable urged Nigerians to “fight for themselves and not for the country”.
However, in a series of posts via his Instagram page, he claimed that only “lazy people” would take to the street to protest.
The singer also berated some protesters who “vandalised properties”.
Queried He: “It is lazy people that are protesting. If you get a job opportunity, will you work? Are you not involved in stealing and snatching bags?”
“Now you are chanting #EndBadGovernance… Is it the government that is burning tyres, breaking people’s cars and houses. Is it not you?
“Not only the government, end bad people too. People that spoilt the country, end all of them”.
The protests have intensified across various States, leading to heightened tensions and instances of violence.
Security forces, in Abuja, used tear gas to disperse crowds, while reports of looting and fatalities have emerged on social media.
The Borno State Government imposed a 24-hour curfew following a bomb explosion that claimed several lives.
Abba Yusuf, Kano State governor, also declared a curfew after violence erupted during the economic hardship protests on Thursday.
