The 30-year-old activist believes the Nigerian political system tends to corrupt even the most diligent individuals once they become part of it.
Adebowale Adedayo, the comedian who is popularly known as ‘Mr Macaroni’ has expressed his thoughts on the Nigerian political space.
According to him, there might be a lingering curse on the political system in the country.
The popular actor cum skitmaker dismissed ideas of going into politics in the future. The 30-year-old activist believes the Nigerian political system tends to corrupt even the most diligent individuals once they become part of it.
“I think in the Nigerian political system or space, at it were, there’s a curse roaming around there because we’ve seen great men, men of valour go into that space and become something we no longer recognise,” he said.
According to Mr Macaroni, his activism roots back to his time in secondary school, where he developed a strong aversion to cheating and mistreatment of others. He emphasised the importance of treating people with respect. He also said anyone who fails to treat people with respect will undoubtedly face his objections.
“I think it started from secondary school, naturally I don’t like being cheated and I don’t like people around me to be cheated, just treat people with respect. So the moment you do not, then you have a problem with me,” said Mr Macaroni.
