He furthered advised that people should fight for themselves and not for Nigeria, as the country was already okay.
In the video, Portable cursed the people asking him to sing during the planned rally. He noted that there was money and jobs in Nigeria, but a lot of people were not taking the people who can help them serious.
The Zeh Nation boss warned that people should not allow their jobs or career turn to a barrier for them.
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.”
