Well-known Nigerian comedian and activist Mr Macaroni has addressed criticism from members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who doubted his Yoruba heritage because of his political beliefs.
The actor, who is well-known for his support of social justice, responded to the barrage of insults and vitriol he received for not endorsing the APC, Nigeria’s ruling party, in a social media post on May 27.
“I like as APC people dey insult and curse Mr Macaroni since yesterday.. Nobody call am bullying! Everybody is having their fun. You can tell lies all you want but the fact remains that I have never attacked or supported anyone to attack others for their political choices.”

APC…
Additionally, he painted themselves as victims and accused APC supporters of being the true aggressors.
In response to accusations that his position made him “less Yoruba,” Mr. Macaroni failed to clarify that his political beliefs and tribe are unrelated.
“I AM A PROUD YORUBA BOY!!! My ancestry is solid and traceable!!! Something most of you masquerading as Yoruba cannot say! The shame is on those of you who have decided to politicize the Yoruba culture!”
Finally, I AM A PROUD YORUBA BOY!!!

“The Yoruba heritage will never be enslaved to politics because before the APC or any other political party in Nigeria, the Yoruba have been and will continue to be even after!”
“So please feel free to support APC or any other political party of your choice, but do not tell me I am not Yoruba enough because I don’t support APC. APC IS NOT YORUBA, AND YORUBA IS NOT APC!!! END OF DISCUSSION!” he concluded.

“When Yoruba people call you “Omo ale” it’s not because you’re not born of your father or because your ancestry is questionable, it’s because your behaviors are reminiscent of someone born of their fathers.”
@PoloM77:
“Same thing I said on a space! Why would Yoruba people allow their tribe and culture be used as a symbol of APC and its politics… Am happy to see the tweets of those condemning the atrocities”
@AgannaMatthew:
“The Yoruba heritage will never be enslaved to politics because before APC or any other political party in Nigeria, Yoruba has been and will continue to be even after!
So please feel free to support APC or any other political party of your choice but do not tell me I am not Yoruba enough because I don’t support APC”
@Olariches82:
“He that has ears let him hear. They can’t tell me otherwise because I’m not bowing to their APC. What benefit do APC have on the Yoruba race ? All I see since inception is commotion, demotion, division, destruction. This is not what the Yoruba race stand for.”
