Nigerian comedian and activist, Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has called out former #EndSARS protesters for supporting the same politicians they once fiercely criticized.
In a series of thought-provoking posts shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account on April 29, 2025, Mr Macaroni expressed his disappointment in what he termed political hypocrisy. He pointed out how some individuals, too ashamed to openly express their political affiliations, are now hiding behind tribal sentiments to cover up their support for politicians.
He called this behavior disgraceful, stressing that political loyalty should be transparent and free from tribal biases. His comments have ignited widespread discussions online, with many agreeing that true political support should be honest and not disguised.
The post read, “Boys wey shout and cry during EndSars have started kissing the asses of the same politicians they criticized. They are so ashamed of it, they have to use Tribal bigotry to mask their hypocrisy. That’s the only thing I find disgraceful. Boys come dey mumu themselves. Pitiable!
“Boys don’t know how to come out plainly that they have been paid or that they wish to be paid. They start instigating tribal hate so they can use that as a cover. Meanwhile, they are romanticizing with bigots on the TL who insult and curse us daily for criticizing government.
“Everyone has a right to support any political party they wish to without being attacked for it. This was my message all through the election period.
My issue is with those of you that instigate tribal bigotry because you need an excuse to support a politician! E don Cast!”
