Popular Nigerian skit maker and social justice advocate, Mr Macaroni, has stirred conversations across social media following a strongly worded tweet that appears to address the ongoing economic challenges in the country and alleged financial impropriety among citizens.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Macaroni wrote:
“With the situation of the country, if you get 100k for Aza! Just know say your hand no clean. You get skeleton for your cupboard and them go soon catch you. You will see. Let’s kobet it.”
The tweet, laced with satire and street parlance, reflects a broader sentiment of distrust and frustration among many Nigerians grappling with the current economic reality, where inflation, unemployment, and corruption remain pressing issues.
Mr Macaroni, known for his activism and fearless critique of government and societal misconduct, did not specify any individual or incident in his tweet. However, the cryptic nature of his message has sparked debates online, with users interpreting it as a jab at public officials, fraudsters, or even influencers who appear to thrive financially despite the harsh economic climate.
Reactions to the post have been swift, with some praising the comedian for “speaking truth to power,” while others questioned the generalization of financial success as a sign of corruption.
This comes amid increasing scrutiny of wealth display on social media and rising pressure on public figures to account for their sources of income in a country where transparency remains elusive.
As expected, “Let’s kobet it” a playful call to “discuss” or “debate” is already trending, becoming the latest catchphrase among Nigerian netizens.
Whether a subtle warning or pure comic expression, one thing is clear: Mr Macaroni has once again sparked a national conversation, reminding everyone that, in times like these, even comedy holds the mirror to society.
