Portable ask fans questions

In the video, he asked his fans if they have ever seen Aliko Dangote or Femi Otedola with ply cards protesting on the street.

According to the Zeh Nation boss, who fought in the trenches recently, rich men don't fight.

He noted that he was no longer poor, and advised his fans to face their hustle.

In his word:

“Some people are saying I led them to protest in 2020. That was then. That time, I was poor and it affected my thinking. Have you ever seen Dangote or Otedola leading a protest? Now, I am rich, and my thinking has changed. If Dangote will talk, he will say, save my business. Better mind your business. You cannot see Dele Momoh doing protest. I am rich rich now with a rich man's thinking. Should the rich go and fight?"
