Nigerian street rapper, Portable, has lambasted activist Verydarkman for leading a solo protest against bad governance, just days before the planned nationwide demonstration on August 1, 2024.

Portable took to the comment section of Verydarkman’s Instagram post to express his disapproval of Verydarkman’s protest. He told the activist to focus on his own struggles rather than fighting for others.

Verydarkman had shared a photo of himself holding a placard that read, “Emi lo kan…Is it your turn to suffer us? Mr President, do we even have a future with you??” But Portable responded with a scathing comment. He said, “Aparo nobody dey your back everybody busy looking for money not cho cho cho. Fight for yourself Don’t fight for them. Abiapapepe Agunmaniye.”

However, Portable’s outburst has sparked a heated debate online. Many criticized his response as insensitive and dismissive of the activist’s efforts to bring attention to the issues of bad governance in Nigeria.

Lastly, the exchange reflects the divisions within the Nigerian community on how to address the country’s governance issues.
