Nigerian comedian, actor, and activist Adebowale Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has asserted that while Nigerians constantly demand ‘change’, they are not ready to make it happen.
He made this known during a recent interview and public statement explaining why he scaled back his public criticism of the Nigerian government.
According to the thespian, he stepped back from activism because of what he described as a pattern of endless complaints without meaningful action by citizens of the country.

He noted that Nigerians have continued to complain about the country’s problems without making the effort needed to address them once and for all.
While justifying his decision, Mr Macaroni said, ‘I stepped back because Nigerians are not ready for the change they claim they want. We don’t act like we are ready. We only complain, but it doesn’t lead to anything.’
Noting that these complaints about the country’s situation have gone on for years, he added, ‘We want change but are not ready to put in the work.’
Mr Macaroni further summed up his frustration, saying, ‘My pain is just that we, the people, are not ready.’
