Popular filmmaker and content creator, Adebowale Debo Adedayo, widely known as Mr Macaroni, has shared his perspective on generosity and social activism.
Speaking on The Untapped Show hosted by Falz and monitored by MyNewsGh, he made it clear that his actions are not driven by expectations of repayment or public validation.
“I don’t expect anything from anyone. If I do anything for you, I don’t do it so that you repay me. I do it because I cannot help myself. I always say it – no ‘fe’ and forget. I know dey try impress; I be your messiah or anything. I just do it because that’s who I am,” he stated.
He emphasized that his involvement in activism and his public stance on social issues are not part of a hero complex but rather a reflection of his inability to stay silent.
“Even when we gather to criticize the government, it is because I cannot help myself. I cannot sit down somewhere and act like everything is fine. It’s just how I feel, and I have to do something about it,” he explained.
Despite his passion for standing up for people, Mr Macaroni acknowledged the reality that he cannot change the world on his own.
“Everyone dear to me has always told me, ‘You cannot save the world.’ But I get coconut head, I no dey hear word,” he admitted with a laugh.
He further shared that he never expects people to be perfect, even when they let him down.
“Before I say someone betrayed me, I remind myself that people will always act like people. The only reason betrayal hurts is because I did not see it coming. This is someone I could bleed for,” he noted.
Mr Macaroni’s words highlight his unwavering commitment to helping others, even in the face of personal struggles.
