Controversial musician Portable made a statement from his hospital bed, expressing his belief that Nigerians only seek justice for the dead. This came after he was assaulted for failing to perform at a show for which he had been paid. The incident occurred a few days prior to his statement.
Portable had previously sought help on social media, claiming that he had been attacked by American-based singer Esquare and his associates. However, he later took to Instagram to share videos and photos from the hospital, questioning why there was no outcry for justice on his behalf.
In a message delivered in pidgin English, he expressed his pain and requested prayers for his recovery. He also emphasized his reliance on God and the truth, stating that despite evidence of the assault, it seemed as though no one was willing to take action.
The singer’s words stirred up a conversation about the lack of justice for living individuals in Nigeria. His plea for recognition of his ordeal highlighted the perceived disparity in the treatment of those who have suffered injustice while alive, as opposed to the attention given to cases involving the deceased.
The incident brought attention to the issue of violence and unfair treatment within the music industry, prompting discussions about the need for protection and justice for artists. Portable’s statement from his hospital bed served as a catalyst for a larger conversation about the attitudes and actions surrounding justice in Nigeria.
As the story gained traction, many expressed support for Portable and called for a fair resolution to the situation. The singer’s plea for justice shed light on the need for systemic change and a more balanced approach to addressing grievances and seeking retribution for individuals who have suffered harm.
