• Mr Macaroni also questioned why Nigerians sometimes turn against those who speak up about issues affecting them
• The entertainer said citizens often complain about economic hardship but quickly move on’

Nigerian skit maker and social commentator Mr Macaroni has disclosed why he is reluctant to pursue a political career.

The entertainer made the disclosure in a recent viral video while reflecting on his experiences speaking about issues affecting Nigerians.

According to the actor, advocacy can be a frustrating journey because the same citizens someone tries to defend may eventually criticise or turn against that person.

“I’m so happy about how things have been and you keep talking and it seems like you’re the troublesome person,” he said.

But his biggest concern appears to be what politics could do to a person’s reputation.

Mr Macaroni says politics corrupts

Mr Macaroni said he has watched people he once admired enter politics and subsequently damage the legacies they built before joining the political space.

“I look at Nigeria and I don’t think I want to get into the political space because it seems like the political space in Nigeria corrupts the very best of us,” he said.

He added that the development has left him “not thrilled” about entering politics.

The social commentator also criticised Nigerians’ tendency to move past economic complaints quickly.

Using fuel prices as an example, he said citizens could protest loudly for a few days before moving on to the next issue.

He further challenged the popular saying that anyone who can survive in Nigeria can survive anywhere.

According to Mr Macaroni, Nigerians should not celebrate enduring harsh conditions as a badge of honour.
