Nigerian comedian Debo Adedayo, aka Mr Macaroni, has opened up about being in debt of over half a billion.

Just recently, the skit maker and Nollywood actor took to his official Instagram page to tell Nigerians about how he found himself in debt of over N500 million due to his reckless financial decisions.

According to Mr Macaroni, sometime around 2021/ 2022, he fell victim to a scam and another failed investment that made him lose all his savings. The movie star said even though it was a great turning point in his life, he never mentioned his troubles to anybody because he believed that the show must go on.

Macaroni, known for tackling ills in society, said as a result of losing all of his savings, he started to borrow money from different sources to settle all of his pending commitments and carry out certain responsibilities he believed were his own to fulfil.

In the lengthy note, the skit maker admitted that he was a reckless spender and had been that way even before his rise to fame. However, his dire financial situation made it even more obvious that he started to struggle.

Mr Macaroni said that the last straw was when he was betrayed by a very close friend whom he regarded as a sister. He noted that the way she betrayed his trust left him destabilised.

The skit maker added that his situation made him gather himself and make some tough decisions and he now feels better than he has in the last three years.

Mr Macaroni reacts to corps member's plight

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) trended on social media for hours after a serving corps member in Lagos state cried out over a threat she received following her online post about the rising costs of commodities in the country.

The corps member added that she has been receiving calls from various NYSC officials to desist from insulting the government and take down the video which has since gone viral.

Skit maker and activist, Mr Macaroni, joined many Nigerians on social media in reacting to the drama. In a tweet via his official X handle, Macaroni sent a message to the NYSC board, stating that they cannot threaten any corps member for sharing their opinion about the president's performance.
