How Macaroni, Iyabo Ojo, and Falz stood with the masses

Mr Macaroni was very vocal during the 2023 elections and warned youths against selling their votes and Permanent Voter Cards to politicians.

Iyabo was also actively invaded in the past elections, as she joined Nigerians to demand fairness online and shade her colleagues who collected money to campaign for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

After that, the actress demanded justice for the late Nigerian singer Mohbad.

Nigerian singer Folarin Falana, aka Falz, has continued to fight the government and its electoral practices through his songs and social media pages.

Nigerian actress and politician Tonto Dikeh was another active force in the fight against inhumanity. In April 2023, the acclaimed actress stood by her colleague and close friend, Empress Njamah, as she bravely confronted her blackmailer.

Video as Mr Macaroni meets Tony Elumelu

Still on the skit maker, Legit.ng earlier reported that the skit maker and activist made a short skit with billionaire Tony Elumelu.

Macaroni shook the businessman in the video on his page and noted that people do not believe they are acquainted.

However, it didn't take long for Macaroni to reveal that the millions of dollars he talks about in his videos are 'audio' and do not exist. The admission sent Elumelu and others into a fit of laughter.

He also trended for snubbing the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
