“I was over half a Billion in Debt... But I still had to smile for the camera. I Never Told Anyone” - Comedian Mr Macaroni
“I never bring my personal issues to social media. I only wish to share this because I want people to learn from my experience.
Between 2021 and 2022, I lost everything I had saved to a scam. I borrowed from different sources just to fulfill commitments.
Still, I showed up for others, even when I was empty. Because that’s who I am.
2024 was a turning point for my Acting career. Two of the films I featured in were screened at international festivals.. my performances in some other films also earned me numerous commendations. However, It was also the most troubling year for me. I was burdened every single day and night knowing that I was over half a billion in debt.
Then came betrayal—sharp and unexpected—from someone I loved like a sister.
That pain nearly broke me more than the debt ever could.
But you see, I’m a warrior! I have never backed down from a fight. When I fall, I bounce back even stronger by God’s grace and I keep my head up. So I gathered myself, and made some very tough decisions and with the help of family and friends who have stood by me, I feel better than I have felt in the last 3 years!
So this message is for anyone in a dark place right now:
Don’t give up.
People may betray you. You may fall. You may even lose everything.
But as long as you have breath, you have purpose.
Fall if you must. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them. What is not okay is to keep repeating the same mistakes. Let love win in your heart—no matter how loud the hate becomes in the world."
