Nigerian content creator and Nollywood actor Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, recently shared insights into his religious beliefs during an interview with actress Biola Adebayo on the latest episode of ‘Talk to B’.
Mr Macaroni revealed that he has experimented with both Islam and Christianity but ultimately chose not to practice any organized religion, especially after the tragic events during the End SARS protests in 2020. The mass killings during that period deeply affected him and led to a sense of helplessness and despair.
He expressed his distress over the survival rates of Nigerians and his decision to leave everything in God’s hands without actively participating in organized religion. Despite this, he acknowledged the success of people who do not follow any particular religion.
Additionally, Mr Macaroni mentioned that he hasn’t been in a relationship for ten years but starts each day by committing his endeavors to God and putting in his best effort in everything he does. He also expressed confidence in his future success.
In his words, “My dad is a Muslim, my mom is a Christian. The beautiful thing is that I did practice Islam and Christianity but now I’m practicing none, To every man has his own way”.
“Early 2019 I was depressed, End SARs for me was touching for me because a lot of people that love me then did not love me again because of my participation and involvement”.
“Survival mentality in Nigeria is a curse, if you fit survive for Naija, you fit survive everywhere…….When I wake up every morning, I pray to God and tell him that anything that I’m going to do that will ruin the life of another person, I don’t want to do it”.
“A religion of love and peace. I have always known that I will be successful. I have a lot of Christians, Muslims and Traditionalists that are doing very well. There are lots of people that are not worshipping any God and are very successful”.
“Most of the countries that are succeeding in the world did not leave their future in the train of religion, they have struggled for their success, future, prosperity. They have a system that works”.
