In a heated message, Mr Macaroni criticised former EndSARS protesters who now cosy up to the same politicians they once condemned, sparking fresh debate on activist integrity.
- Mr Macaroni condemned ex-protesters now praising or aligning with politicians tied to the 2020 EndSARS crisis.
- He expressed dismay over how some have abandoned the movement’s values for access and personal gain.
- His post reignited public frustration over perceived betrayal and performative activism.
- Many Nigerians on social media echoed his sentiment, citing examples of influencers and public figures who "switched sides."
- The statement also reignites broader questions about youth-led movements and long-term accountability.
Mr Macaroni’s comment isn’t just a callout—it’s a warning. For many Nigerians, the EndSARS protests symbolised hope, sacrifice, and a rare sense of unity. Watching once-passionate voices now praise the very system they marched against feels like a betrayal. It raises a tough question: how much of what we saw in 2020 was real commitment, and how much was branding?
As 2027 draws closer, will more activists trade conviction for political convenience? Or will Nigerians hold the line?
