Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni, has berated celebrities for being beneficiaries of the government, whom he claimed stifled activities of the #EndSARS anniversary.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Friday, the comedian spoke on how the government has clamped down on the events planned out one year after the protest.
The comedian, who was instrumental in the protests last year, called on the youths to unite towards making progress in governance.
His statement, majorly written in Pidgin, read, โI wan talk my mind as e dey pain me!! E don reach one year wey EndSars happen. Anytime wey people say dem wan do anything wey relate with Endsars for this Lagos; na so so Police Vans, Trucks, even Armor Tanks wey dem go pack full the place.
โMy question is, canโt Nigerian Youths gather again to discuss the Way forward? Ok. Na una plan to rule forever be this??
โLagos State Government has an event this evening. Infact Top Celebrities go dey there to perform.
โLagos state dey do show days before October 20th but other Lagosians canโt gather for their own peaceful summit?? Before I talk finish now, you go hear โthey will hijack your summitโ.
โSo how Una dey do Una own shows and political rallies wey dem no dey Hijack am?
โFor the celebrities, make we dey reason this thing. Government no good but una dey chop Government money.
โI no say make anybody no chop. But there are some things bigger than money!! If na Government wey dey treat the people better now, e for even better. People are suffering and these people are doing nothing about it!
โThe last time wey police carry me, dem beat me and the others!! They stripped us Naked!! Dem dey ask me say โSheyb na me wan dey disturb Governor Abiโ Shey na that kain Government I go respect?
โIf there will be any peaceful walk on the 20th, Iโm still down. But it must be all of us together.
โE no go bad if Una go for the Governmentโs show and still attend a summit or take a walk for the youths. Everybody want Coconut Water but nobody want make dem break the coconut for their head.
โFor Nigeria, even if you let them break Coconut on your head, powers above still fit no let the others drink the coconut water. We must all come together!โ (sic).
