Portable says ‘hunger dey’ protesters are lazy
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has voiced his opinion on the ongoing Hunger Dey vs #Endbadgovernance protests across the country.
Portable, in a recent video, criticized the protesters, labeling many of them as lazy and unwilling to work.
According to reports, thousands of Nigerians took to the streets on Thursday, August 1, in various states to protest against hunger and economic hardship.
Portable, however, argued that a significant number of the youth participating in the protests are not genuinely seeking employment but are instead engaging in unlawful activities.
He emphasized that the problem is not solely bad governance but also the bad elements within the society.
The singer went on to condemn the vandalism of public amenities and private properties, attributing these destructive actions to the protesters rather than the government.
He urged for an end to both bad governance and bad behavior among citizens.
In his words;
“Most of the protesters are lazy people. If you see work, shey, you go do it? no be thief and bag snatcher you go dey do? now you’re shouting end bad government, make dem end bad people too. is it the government that is burning tyres and breaking people’s cars?

Tito, Michael Jackson’s brother, member of Jackson 5, is dead
Tito Jackson, renowned guitarist, singer, and an original member of the legendary Jackson 5 group, has passed away at the age of 70.
His sons Taj, Taryll, and TJ, who form the music group 3T, confirmed the heartbreaking news in an emotional Instagram post late Sunday, expressing their shock and grief over their father’s sudden death.
Tito, the older brother of pop icons Michael and Janet Jackson, reportedly suffered a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to his home in Oklahoma, according to family friend Steve Manning.
Despite the tragic circumstances, his sons paid tribute to their father’s legacy, describing him as a caring and incredible man. They urged everyone to embrace the message their father always preached: “Love One Another.”

Tito had been actively performing, touring with his brothers Marlon and Jackie under the name “The Jacksons” in recent months, with shows in Germany, England, and California.
As a key member of the Jackson 5, alongside brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael, Tito helped the group achieve global fame after signing with Motown Records in 1969. Their classic hits, including “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and “I’ll Be There,” defined the sound of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Tito, along with his Jackson 5 brothers, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 by Motown legend Diana Ross.
In his solo career, Tito made his mark in blues and funk. His 2016 single “Get It Baby” became a Billboard hit, making him the last Jackson sibling to achieve solo chart success.
His second album, Under Your Spell (2021), featured collaborations with music greats like George Benson, Bobby Rush, and Stevie Wonder.
Tito is survived by his three sons. His former wife, Dolores, passed away in 1994. His legacy as a foundational member of one of the most influential musical families in history will live on.
