Nigerian skit maker and social commentator Mr Macaroni has revealed that he stopped speaking publicly about the government after receiving what he described as numerous threats.
The entertainer made the disclosure while speaking about his experiences as a social commentator and the personal risks that came with his activism.
According to Mr Macaroni, the threats became serious enough to affect his family’s sense of safety.
“I stopped talking about the government because I was receiving so many threats, and my family wasn’t safe. My mom would call me crying that there is strange movements around the house. They wanted to fly me out, but I said, ‘No, I’m staying.’”
He said the situation became particularly worrying because his mother would contact him in distress over what she described as strange movements around their home.
Mr Macaroni added that some people suggested taking him out of the country for his safety, but he declined and chose to remain in Nigeria.
His revelation has sparked reactions on X, with several users expressing concern about the risks faced by people who publicly criticise those in power.
