Portable has reacted to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of military action against Nigeria over ongoing violence against Christians. Speaking in a TikTok live with a Nigerian-born U.S. soldier, the Zazuu Zeh singer warned that any American invasion would have dire consequences.
“If U.S. soldiers invade Nigeria, they won’t return home. Those Boko Haram members you hear about? They are fathers, brothers, and husbands. Many joined because of hunger,” Portable said.
He also alleged that Nigeria’s insurgent groups have “sponsors among the elites,” both within the country and abroad, stressing that the fight against terrorism is far more complex than it appears.
His remarks quickly went viral, drawing a mix of serious debate and humorous reactions online. Reiterating his warning, Portable added, “If U.S. soldiers invade Nigeria, they won’t go back home. Those Boko Haram members? They are people’s fathers, brothers, and husbands. Most of them joined because of hunger.”
