How Depression Pushed Me into Skit-Making After I Was Expelled from University – Mr Macaroni Narrates Ordeal

Adebowale “Debo” Adedayo, known by his stage name Mr Macaroni, a popular Nigerian actor, skit maker, and activist, has detailed his experience with depression a few years ago and how it aided his career.

Mr Macaroni resorted to social media to say that he was sad in 2017/2018 and was expelled from his fourth university during that time.

It’s no secret that the actor attended four universities in ten years, including Leadcity, HNAUB (Cotonou), ABUAD, and Redeemers.

Mr Macaroni went on to say that from 2018 to 2019, he attempted to re-enter Nollywood but was duped. He went through another attack of melancholy in 2019 and settled for uploading things online, becoming popular the same year.

In his own words:

“Lol I was dealing with depression late 2017 /2018 –

That was the period I was expelled from Uni. And it was the 4th University at the time.

Abeg Wetin consine me with watching film then? My life sef na film wey people dey watch.

From 2018-2019 was another round of depression. I continued hustling for roles again in nollywood. I have been acting on and off since like 2011…
