Comedian and actor Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, shared his experience of attending four universities and facing expulsion from one of them. In a tweet on Saturday, the skit-maker opened up about his journey towards obtaining a degree.
Despite his expulsion, Mr Macaroni mentioned that he was eventually readmitted and successfully graduated. He also mentioned that he faced depression during his studies.
Furthermore, he recounted the obstacles he overcame while striving to establish himself in the entertainment industry.
His tweet in broken English read, “I was dealing with depression in 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 a 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. From one audition to another. Dem scam me tire. I dey pay for form ontop say I wan act. I started creating content and posting online in late 2019 when depression wan finish me.”
While also correcting the notion of an online blog that insinuated that he was expelled from four universities hours after making the initial tweet, Mr Macaroni shed more light, saying: “Abeg I wasn’t expelled from four universities ooo. Yes, I went to 4 different universities but I wasn’t expelled from all 4. I was expelled from only one Uni. However, I was recalled and I graduated successfully. T for Thanks.”
