You Bought Car To Oppress But Your Family Is Suffering

Controversial street artist, Portable Omolalomi has taken a swipe at his colleague, Zinoleesky, who recently acquired a Ferrari 458 Italia.

According to Portable, Zino bought the car to oppress people while his family members are reportedly suffering.

It would be recalled that amidst the heated beef between Zinoleesky and Seyi Vibez, the former splashed millions of naira on a new car. This sparked a series of reactions; one of which came from Lil Smart who lambasted the singer for showing off ‘another daddy’s car.’

Portable, however, joined the train of those shading the singer as he stated in a recent video where he claimed that the Zino’s family are dwelling in poverty while he is online flaunting vehicles.

“You buy car dey opress, have you taken care of your home? You get car but your family dey suffer. You’re enjoying foreign life in local. These kids are local without a level. they don’t know the law; they’ve forgotten home.

He used his last card to buy car and when he cant afford to fuel the car, he’d trek,” he stated.

In the caption of the video, Ika of Africa noted;

“Tomorrow Na Market Day Make He No Be Like Say I No Do Woto Woto 😂 IKA Talk Ika Understand 👌,”
 he wrote.

The video has since sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Subsidy: Be Patient, Strike Won’t Solve Anything

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has pleaded with the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC not to embark on a strike over the removal of fuel subsidy.

Recall that the NLC on Friday, June 2, issued a five-day ultimatum to the federal government to revert to the old price of petrol or face a nationwide protest.

Sanwo-Olu who addressed reporters on Sunday, June 4, after a post-inauguration church thanksgiving service, appealed to the labour leaders to join hands with the present administration in its commitment to turn the economy of the country around.

He said;

“We are thankful that Mr President is a product of Lagos. We will pray for him and everything that he stands for. We believe he will replicate all the good things he has done in Lagos in our country, Nigeria.

“I want to wish and plead with our citizens even as NLC has said to us that they want to go on strike. It is not the time for a strike. During the campaign trail, everyone of our presidential candidates did say that the first thing they are going to do is to remove the subsidy.

“So, what has changed? What has the current president said or what has he done that is different from what any of the other aspirants said they would do?

“We need to be very patient. He (President Tinubu) has not even done a week. So let us talk to ourselves and say that we shouldn’t turn it political. Let us wait and support this man. He has not done a week on the job. Let him go and reflect and at the sub-national level, we are willing to support him.

“The point is no industrial strike will solve anything at this point, it will certainly not bring an end to the issue. The point will be how are we going to ensure that there is a turnaround in our economy.

“He has mentioned something about a better wage. We have started that in Lagos. We started it in January; so other parts of the country can also do the same. We don’t need to wait for the national government. We just need to reflect on what the challenges are in our country and let us solve the problem.

“I want to plead with the Nigeria Labour Congress. It shouldn’t turn into a political thing because we have begun to see that. The leadership should know that they are leading a pack of people and they need to restrain themselves. Let us be patient. Let us work around it. NNPC has said that there is more than enough petrol.”
