As the long-awaited days for the #Endbadgovernance protest have approached, popular Nigerian comedian and activist Mr Makaroni has lent his voice, saying freedom should not be sacrificed for any amount of money, position or other incentives.

This follows allegations that the government is paying some people to stand against the planned protests, which seek to draw the government’s attention to the incessant hunger and hardship that have befallen Nigerians.

The comedian and activist succinctly highlighted the importance of prioritizing freedom over personal gains. He noted that only ignorance and selfishness would make people choose to eat the crumbs under the table, not knowing that the whole table could be theirs.

Mr Makaroni emphasizes unity, saying that if only the suffering Nigerians could unite themselves, they would be able to take the table instead of continually seeking crumbs.

He wrote, “No amount of money, position or connection in this world should ever be enough to sacrifice the freedom of your people. Some people have lost every essence of their humanity by promoting violence, hate and bigotry just to have access to a few crumbs at the table. It is their ignorance and selfishness that blinds them to the fact that if United, the entire table belongs to us.’

Reacting to his tweet, a Twitter user named @lettersby_sam said it is very easy to manipulate and convince poor and hungry people to do things against their will to get a meal for themselves and their children.

Another X user commented, “Never in human history have people been unified over an issue. The side with the better argument and movement always wins. We can only hope that the #EndBadGovernance movement will be louder than those that benefit from #badgovernance and who want the status quo to remain.”
