Popular Nigerian skit maker and activist, Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has taken a swipe at corrupt politicians in the country who loot public funds for personal purposes.

The movie star, in a post via his X handle, alleged that Nigerian politicians have stolen and are still stealing billions of Naira from the nation’s purse.

Macaroni stated that despite no consequence for the politicians’ actions, it is painful that some Nigerians have continued to defend the acts of the politicians who do not care about the existence of the masses.

The thespian described the looting of public funds as ‘greed and wickedness’ and questioned how the country is supposed to get better when politicians are stealing from the treasury.

He wrote, “Nigerian Politicians have stolen and are still stealing billions and trillions from the Nation’s purse. Unfortunate enough as it is that there are Zero Consequences for these actions, it is torturous that the people whose treasury are being looted continue to defend Politicians who absolutely do not care about their existence.

“How can you comfortably loot public funds enough to change the standard of living of millions of the people you ought to serve selflessly?
What type of greed and wickedness is this? How exactly is the Country supposed to get better when our Politicians just want to steal!!!

“No integrity!!! No sense of purpose!! No accountability!!! Zero shame!!! Just hardened criminals in office!!! How did the people become so hopeless?”

Popular Nigerian skit maker, Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has recounted his harrowing encounter with the police after he was arrested in February 2021.

He stated that a Police officer threatened to kill him if he was not popular.

Macaroni made this known while reacting to the suspension of Wale Ajetunmobi, Senior Special Assistant on Print Media, to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Ajetunmobi had claimed in a now-deleted post on Sunday that some arsonists who burnt down Television Continental (TVC) during the #EndSARS protests in the state had been hunted and executed.

The statement stirred controversy, with many Nigerians calling for a thorough probe.

In a post via his X handle, Mr Macaroni stated that there was no investigation over the threat to kill him while in police custody and no action was taken when some people were openly threatening and intimidating voters before the 2023 election.

He also cited another media aide to Sanwo-Olu, who took bigotry to the streets and was never condemned, adding that the call for Ajetunmobi’s probe will not yield results.

He wrote, “Media aide to Governor Babajide SanwoOlu has stated according to Facts available to him that some Nigerians were hunted down and executed October 2020. Wein ll, Story Time; February 2021 when some of us, were arrested and dehumanized by Criminals disguised as Police Officers, one said to me : “Olorun yo iya e pe o Loruko. A ba ti fi Emi yin sofo danu… E fe ma da Ijoba lamu abi.. o je fun ara e ni brain”
Translation: “God save your mama say you get name. We for don waste all of una for here.. na una wan dey worry govt ba? You better give yourself brain”

“I would say that I hope this statement by the media aide to the Governor is investigated but I laugh at the thought of it. I laugh in the last investigation panel set up by the Lagos State Government itself. We all know how that ended.. don’t we? LOL”

Nigerian content creator and activist, Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has stated that no spokesperson of the Tinubu-led administration has the right to criticize past administrations.

Mr. Macaroni condemned the insensitivity of President Tinubu’s administration. He accused the government of living large at the expense of the citizens who continue to face hardship occasioned by the government’s policies.

Macaroni stated this on his X handle, on Tuesday, while reacting to an attack on former President Olusegun Obasanjo by Tinubu’s aides.

Debo emphasized that only Nigerians who have been victims of past governments’ bad governance have the right to criticize former leaders.

“I no send any Nigerian politician but only the people have the right to call out or criticize any politician or government past or present! Not Spokespersons of the current Government who continue to use billions to buy cars and jets while Nigerians are languishing in poverty.

“I personally believe all Nigerian politicians past or present have contributed largely to the rot in our country today and as such Nigerians must continue to hold past and present leaders accountable.

But members of this current administration have no such right!!! As a matter of fact, they are even more insensitive and tone deaf to the hardship in the country.

“Again, only the people have such rights to blame all those that have once held the whip.

Those that hold the whip now cannot criticize others that once held the whip because the crime of flogging Nigerians is one and the same,” Macaroni wrote on his X handle.

The human rights activist also condemned citizens who defend the bad policies of politicians for selfish interests.

“The sad reality in all this is that some Nigerians continue to defend their oppressors. How can you continue to defend those that make decisions that favor them but put you in unbearable hardship?

No matter the pain and suffering the people go through, these so-called leaders are immune to them!

“The people pay for their feeding and transport allowance so why should they care about the hike in food or fuel prices? They even have perfume allowance,” Macaroni added.

He called on Nigerians to unite against politicians who are responsible for the hardship and poor governance affecting the country.

Popular Nigerian content creator and activist, Debo Adedayo aka Mr Macaroni has taken to social media to caution parents with uniquely talented children.

In his post, Mr Macaroni asked parents to endeavour they showcase the talents of such children in ways that are appropriate to their respective ages.

He said he understands the urge to showcase gifted children but there is a need for parents to put the children first and also groom them properly.

He wrote;

‘’Dear parents and guardians,

We owe them and our society that guidance.”

Nigerian skitmaker, Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni has taken a swipe at the Federal government over how they have been handling the ongoing nationwide protest.

He accused authorities of disrupting peaceful demonstrations and teargassing the protesters.

On August 1, 2024, he took to the X platform to respond to a post by SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who claimed that protesters in Lagos were peaceful.

Mr Macaroni wrote, “This is proof that the protests are always peaceful and with good intentions until state-sponsored thugs are sent to disrupt the protests. The police, in their complicity, will ignore the infiltrators and start to attack peaceful protesters. This is how it happens not only in Lagos but in other states in the country.”

He drew parallels to the 2020 ENDSARS protests, criticizing the government for trying to rewrite the history of these events. “At the end of the day, the government will then attempt to rewrite history as if it didn’t happen before our very eyes. This is exactly how it happened with EndSars and the records will forever be there to point at the real enemies of Nigeria who unleashed terror and mayhem in our society,” he added.

Mr Macaroni also criticized the presence of anti-protesters who confronted peaceful demonstrators. He questioned, “Isn’t it crazy that the same people who protested peacefully are now trying to stop others from doing the same thing?”

He stressed, “If people want to protest and cry out to the government, let them. How can the government keep punishing people and then tell them they can’t complain? The government should protect peaceful protesters, but instead, it’s the same government that’s causing the problems.”

Adebowale Debo Adedayo, the prominent Nigerian content creator and activist, who is widely known as Mr. Macaroni, has voiced criticism against the Nigerian government for its failure to address the escalating insecurity in the country.

Macaroni was reacting to the death of one of the six kidnapped family members in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

Recall that Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar and his six daughters were kidnapped over a week ago in the Bwari Area Council of the FCT.

One of the victims, Nabeeha, a 400-level biological science student at Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, in Zaria, was killed on Friday by her abductors.

The kidnappers had earlier demanded N60 million ransom, but now increased to N100 million after Nabeeha’s murder.

Reacting to the saddened incident in a series of posts on his X handle, Macaroni said; “It’s so sad to hear about the death of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar.

“The life of every Nigerian matters. The government must rise up and put an end to this barbarism.”

Popular Nigerian skit maker, Mr Macaroni has reacted after an influencer stated that he is the only one that does not engage in cybercrime among his colleagues.

Earlier, an influencer identified as Provii had sparked reactions online after he claimed that Mr Macaroni was the only skit-maker who doesn’t do Yahoo to make money.

Mr Macaroni has called the netizen to order as he notes that he knows a lot of content creators who are hard-working.

He cautioned the individual not to disrespect his colleagues who are putting in the work and making their money legitimately.

“There are lots of content creators that I hold in high esteem, putting in hard-work diligently and legitimately. Please do not disrespect them this way.

There are also lots of new talents out there who wish to make a career out of Content Creation and some are well on that journey and have even started doing better than some of us. Please Let us do well not to discourage them,” he wrote.
