Portable defends Remi Tinubu’s small scale business statement

Controversial Nigerian singer Portable, has reacted to Remi Tinubu’s comment encouraging unemployed women to consider small-scale businesses.

While speaking on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Portable defended the first lady’s comment, stating that she was misunderstood. He explained that there is nothing wrong with starting a small business, adding that many successful Nigerians were raised by parents who supported their families through petty trading.

Portable also argued that small scale businesses can be profitable, revealing that he has met corn sellers who drive luxury cars.

“Nigerians misunderstood what Remi Tinubu meant. If you look at many wealthy people in this country, their mothers trained them by selling pepper and roasted corn. When I went to London, I even saw someone selling corn while using a Benz,” Portable stated.
