Popular Nigerian actor and comedian Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has launched a scathing attack on Nigerian politicians, accusing them of rampant corruption and a complete lack of integrity. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the content creator expressed his frustration over the alleged theft of billions and even trillions of naira from the country’s national resources.
Mr Macaroni’s comments came in response to the ongoing public outcry over the misuse of public funds by political leaders in Nigeria. The actor, who has been a vocal critic of governmental corruption, decried the widespread impunity that allows politicians to plunder the nation’s wealth without consequence.
“No integrity!!! No sense of purpose!! No accountability!!! Zero shame!!! Just hardened criminals in office!!! How did the people become so hopeless?” Mr Macaroni wrote in his post.
The comedian’s remarks have resonated with many Nigerians who feel disillusioned by the state of the country, where political leaders are often accused of embezzling public funds while the majority of citizens continue to suffer from economic hardships. Mr Macaroni went on to question how the country is expected to move forward when leaders are more focused on personal gain than the welfare of the people.
The phrase “hardened criminals in office” reflects Macaroni’s deep frustration with the political elite, who he believes have no moral compass or sense of duty to the nation they serve. His post has garnered widespread support from Nigerians who share his concerns about the lack of accountability and transparency in government.
Mr Macaroni’s outspoken criticism is not new. Over the years, the comedian and social media influencer has used his platform to call out corruption and injustice in Nigerian society, especially within the political class. His remarks serve as yet another reminder of the deep-rooted issues that continue to plague Nigeria’s governance system, with many citizens questioning the ethical conduct of those in power.
As the country grapples with issues of governance, economic instability, and corruption, public figures like Mr Macaroni are continuing to use their voices to hold politicians accountable for their actions, demanding a change in how the nation’s resources are managed and distributed.
