Mr. Macaroni, a well-known comedian and activist from Nigeria, has denounced individuals who take advantage of ethnic feelings for political ends and spoken out against the nation’s increasing tribal divisions.

He expressed his anger on X about the problem, calling it a “toxic culture of tribal bigotry.” He charged that some people were using their tribal affection and loyalty as a tool to “heat up the polity and settle political scores.”

“Shame on all those who have joined in creating this toxic culture of tribal bigotry. Using the love and the loyalty that the people have for their respective tribes to heat up the polity and settle political scores is disgraceful and a betrayal to whatever tribe you belong to.“

Mr. Macaroni went on to say that those who have lost their reputation and are anxious to become relevant again frequently use similar tactics to sow discord among Nigerians.

“This is what these political slaves do. When they see that they have lost all credibility, they start to instigate tribal wars in a bid to seek relevance. Kudos to every Nigerian irrespective of their tribes who see beyond this mischief and continue to do their best to promote peace and unity among all tribes. Posterity will judge us all.”

His post sparked reactions and discussions regarding the intensity of tribalism in Nigeria and its effect.

“They will be a time in Nigeria where religion and tribalism won’t matter again. We’ll get there soon. For now let the so-called Elites use divide and conquer through religion and tribalism . Everything has an expirating date.“

“The problem of Ronus was Peter Obi contesting election. There has never been unopposed election in Nigeria so I don’t know why they take it too personal that Peter Obi contested election. The disunity in Nigeria since this regime is terrific.”

“Even the young man with big belly that refuse to greet his elder posterity will judge him too.”

“The intensity is much and it has grossly increased since Ahmed Tinubu rigged himself into Aso Rock.”

“You have immensely contributed so much for the benefit of this country. Thanks.”
