Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has voiced his disapproval of the jubilant celebrations sweeping across the nation in the wake of the Super Eagles’ triumphant victory against South Africa, despite prevailing economic challenges
Despite the elation that engulfed the nation after the Super Eagles secured a spot in the finals, Portable took to his Instagram page to criticize Nigerians for what he perceives as misplaced priorities.
In a post, Portable expressed concern about the escalating dollar rate, highlighting the economic hardships faced by many. He questioned the rationale behind celebrating a football victory when economic issues, such as the high dollar rate, continue to affect the populace.
The artist did not mince words, lambasting those who, in his view, prioritized watching football matches over addressing their financial struggles, stating that some people even went as far as spending their last funds on the games.
The post has ignited a flurry of comments, with individuals expressing diverse opinions on the matter. Some share Portable’s sentiments, emphasizing the need to focus on pressing economic concerns, while others argue that moments of joy, such as sporting victories, provide much-needed respite from daily challenges.
As discussions unfold, Portable’s comments shed light on the intersection of sports, entertainment, and economic realities, prompting a reflection on how society chooses to allocate attention during times of both celebration and hardship.
