Popular comedian and activist, Mr. Macaroni, has ignited controversy after declining to greet Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at a public event—a decision he has firmly defended.
In a statement on X, Mr. Macaroni reiterated his stance, emphasizing that even if he encountered the governor again, he would neither acknowledge him nor answer his calls.
His position has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some praising his defiance as a stand against perceived government impunity, while others criticized him for lacking courtesy and respect.
Amid the backlash, Mr. Macaroni doubled down on his decision, stating:
“This is the last time I will address this matter. It is not worth my peace of mind. Since you people won’t stop attacking me because I didn’t greet Governor Sanwo-Olu, next time I see him, I still won’t greet him. And this time, even if he calls me, I won’t answer. You people will cry today, tomorrow, and forever!”
The incident has fueled intense social media discourse, with opinions divided on whether his actions symbolize fearless activism or outright incivility.
