Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable has slammed Nigerians for celebrating the Super Eagles’ triumph over South Africa.
Recall that the Super Eagles defeated South Africa in the 2023 African Cup of Nations semi-final on Wednesday.
Following this victory, Portable expressed disappointment with Nigerians for focusing on football rather than addressing the country’s concerns.
He highlighted the horrible status of the roads and environment, the rising value of the currency, widespread hunger, and other critical challenges.
Despite these problems, many people are enjoying the Super Eagles’ victory, with some even giving up their last resources to attend the game.
Portable stressed that the energy poured in football should instead be used to alleviate hunger and other challenges in the country.
In a video he shared on his social media page, he said, “How many of you have eaten to your satisfaction? Dollar don high, situation no good, road no good, we have bad road and bad environment. Hungry wan kill us, so what is making you happy? You are shouting ‘Up Nigeria ‘, wetin go up in Nigeria? So make the economy dey rise dey go? Make hungry dey rise. What is making you happy? Is it the cup you want to eat?
The energy you guys are using to do Up Super Eagles, why can’t you use it to chase hunger away? Don’t worry o, go carry your last card watch football.
The energy you guys use to come out for football, use it to come out for government, fire them, drag them. Na so una promote Grammy, we didn’t win, now we are promoting football, May God allow us win it. Come out and block the roads, and stop sapa”.
