Popular Nigerian actor, skit maker and activist, Debo Adedayo, professionally known as Mr Macaroni has said that he would shun all forms of private interactions with the Lagos State government.
The comedian stated that the state government tried to have a private meeting with him but he declined considering the public embarrassment the same government also meted on him last year.
The content creator insisted that if they want a conversation with him it would have to be done in public the same way he was also embarrassed.
Mr Macaroni stated this during an interview with journalist, Rakiya Abdul Karim, while recalling his ordeal at the hands of police officers after he was arrested in February 2021 during the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protest which was to forestall the planned reopening of the toll plaza in Lagos.
He insisted that it is not right for them to invite him for a public walk and accuse him of not wanting to work towards the progress of the state whereas, they are not open about their true intentions.
According to the activist, he is not scared of them because they lost every iota of respect when they decided to manhandle him and abuse his fundamental human rights

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls Mr Macaroni opined that terrible leadership combined with sufferings on the part of Nigerians has made the people forget that politicians are in leadership positions to serve.
Mr Macaroni also explained why citizens should not appreciate politicians for doing their job.
He illustrated how politicians take longer time to complete a project and still enrich themselves from it.
According to the 29-year-old skit maker, terrible leadership has propelled Nigerians to make-believe, that these politicians are elected to serve the people. He tweeted:
“Politicians will manage to complete a project after embezzling billions and wasting so much time on it.
“Then ask us to bow at their feet in appreciation for finally doing the work they were elected to do.
Is it your money you used to do the Project???“Nigerians have suffered so much from terrible leadership that we have forgotten that these politicians are there to serve the people.
They enrich themselves and offer us the barest minimum yet we should be thankful for that? May God deliver us from slavery.”
“In a country where Snakes, Monkeys, Termites and other Animals are embezzling billions.
How much are Humans now embezzling? But once our politicians sprinkle one or two projects here and there, we should forget all and start singing their praise. Who do us like this???.”
