“It is after I was arrested and stripped naked by the police that all my fear disappeared” - Macaroni

Season 6, Ep. 59

For speaking up against what he considered injustice in school, Mr Macaroni was expelled just before convocation. 


It was the fight of his life.


How did that transform his life?


Why did that radicalize him? 


What did his journalist father say about all of it?


How did that prepare him for that time when the Nigerian Police stripped him naked?


And how long can he keep fighting while still remaining a pop culture brand?


“Any brand that is not happy with my activism - bye bye!” he says. 


This interview goes deep into the heart of what makes this young man special.
