In the video, Portable said; “It will never be well with you all. The country is scattered. So you guys have started printing money. Don’t worry. Me too I will start buying a machine that will be used to print money. I went to a show in Sagamu yesterday. They did not spray the original money. See the money they sprayed Superstar. I don’t know this one o. They have started printing money in their house. The government caused this. Uncle Buhari, where are you? See what you caused.”
