Protest Is For The Poor, I’m Rich Now, So I Can’t Protest — Portable Says

Habeeb Okikiola, the popular Nigerian music sensation, who is better known as Portable, says he will not partake in the planned nationwide protest over the current economic hardship in the country.

Daily Trust reports that some youths are planning a nationwide protest between August 1 and 15 against the rising cost of living and economic hardship in the country.

In a now-viral video, Portable, who said he was part of the protests in 2020, added that he was currently doing well and preferred to focus on achieving more success.

The singer urged his fans to concentrate on their personal endeavors rather than engaging in protests.

Speaking in a blend of Pidgin and Yoruba, he said: “My fans. Some said I protested in 2020. Yes, it is true, but I was poor at that time. Now, I am rich. Have you ever seen Femi Otedola, Aliko Dangote and Dele Momodu protesting ?

“Then, I was thinking like a poor man who had nothing. I am now rich. Rich people don’t fight.

“It will not end well for anyone who suggests that I should go and sing in a protest. Why don’t you take the microphone and sing at the protest yourself? If you are hustling and you have work to do, you will not join them to protest.

“Fight for yourself, and not for Nigeria. Nigeria is okay. It is you that is not yet okay. The money is where it is; you are the one who is not working, and you don’t stay loyal to your helper. People that will help you are also available; you are the one who is not networking. Fight for yourself, so that your career will not turn into a barrier.”

I Have Never Said I Love You to Anyone Before – Falz

Nigerian rapper Falz has bragged in a recent interview that he has never professed love to anybody before.
He stated this during an interview on Menisms Podcast.
Speaking about his love life, he stated that he has not reached a point in a relationship where such expressions of love are made.
“I have never said I love you to anybody. I have never been in love or gotten to that level of emotional commitment before. And they have not said it to me sha. You know there is a level in a relationship where it’s like, ‘Oh, I love you, baby, I love you too’, I have never gotten there.
 
“I’ve just not made the commitment. I have always been upfront about my feelings, disposition and commitment early on, so we are usually on the same page. That way, nobody is going to run off on their own tangent because we know what is going on.
 
“Also, from time to time, I feel like these conversations need to be revisited every often. At the end of the day, it is not like I am not expressive, maybe I have just been consistently true to the cause and I have now become accustomed to the mindset of always guiding.”
