Nigerian singer Portable receives N2 million compensation from Ogun State Governor for car damage caused by bad roads, sparking public outcry and debates on governance priorities.
Nigerian singer Portable recently received N2 million compensation from Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun after publicly criticizing the governor for the poor condition of a road that damaged his car. This incident quickly sparked a variety of reactions on social media, reflecting the public's sentiments on the state of governance and priorities in Nigeria.
One user exclaimed in disbelief, "Jesus Christ..." while another expressed frustration with the governor, stating, "Lol that gov is a mess. How many people will you pay compensation?" A sarcastic comment mocked the situation, questioning why people remain in the state or country.
Others interpreted the compensation as a way to "Buy his silence." The sentiment of misplaced priorities was echoed by a user who suggested that the money could have been better spent on road repairs rather than paying Portable. Another humorously added, "Justice for Alhaji," implying that others should also receive compensation.
Several comments questioned whether the government would extend the same treatment to other citizens facing similar issues, labeling it as "misplaced priorities." One noted the impracticality of compensating everyone affected by the poor road conditions.
