Read Time:2 Minute, 9 Second
Popular Nigerian actor and content creator Adebowale Adedayo, better known by his stage name Mr. Macaroni, has addressed criticism regarding his recent public appearance in which he declined to acknowledge Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Mr. Macaroni disputed the criticism in a series of posts on Monday via X, saying that even if given another chance, he would not greet the governor.
“This is the last time I will address this matter. It is not worth my peace of mind. Since you people won’t stop attacking me because I didn’t greet Governor Sanwo-Olu, next time I see him, I still won’t greet him. And this time, even if he calls me, I won’t answer. You people will cry today, tomorrow, and forever,” he wrote.
The social media star, who is well-known for his firm views on human rights and governance, attacked Nigerians who shield politicians from responsibility for the nation’s economic woes.
“The people are suffering! The price of everything is up. Instead of you people to hold your leaders accountable, you are busy kissing their bumbum,” he stated.
He further accused some individuals of hypocrisy, alleging that certain critics of government officials eventually seek financial favours behind closed doors.
“Some people called out their state governors every day, then went behind closed doors to collect envelopes to become praise singers. It hurts them when they see that not everyone is for sale,” he wrote.
Addressing the culture of political loyalty, Mr Macaroni said, “These people have no honour, no code, no respect or dignity whatsoever. They have become slaves to the servants of the people. This is why Nigeria is the way Nigeria is. The people worship and defend their oppressors.”
Additionally, he dismissed any hopes that he would reverse his position as a result of ongoing criticism of his character.
“I am no saint. I am nobody’s hero. I am far from perfect. I do what I do only because I strongly believe in it. Do I get tired of the constant attacks on my person? Yes! But please do not think for a second that I will betray my conscience,” he wrote.
The actor warned against using ethnicity as a means of dividing Nigeria and denounced tribal intolerance in the country’s political scene as he wrapped off his remarks.
“Shame on all those who have joined in creating this toxic culture of tribal bigotry. Kudos to every Nigerian, irrespective of their tribe, who see beyond this mischief and continue to do their best to promote peace and unity,” he said.
