However, in the aftermath of the victory, Portable, in a video shared online, expressed disappointment with Nigerians for directing their attention towards football rather than addressing the country’s current economic challenges.

The ‘Zazu zeh’ crooner questioned Nigerians on the reason for being happy amidst the deplorable state of roads and environment, the escalating value of the dollar, widespread hunger, and other pressing issues.

Portable emphasized that the enthusiasm invested in football should instead be utilized to reduce hunger, urging Nigerians to come out en mass to express their anger over the current hardship.
