The Nigerian comedian, actor, and activist shared the milestone on X, posting vibrant photos of himself posing with the premium mid-size crossover SUV, which boasts a 2.0L Turbo GDI engine, 233HP, and advanced safety features.
Mr. Macaroni’s journey to stardom began in Lagos, where he was born in 1993 to a journalist father and a teacher mother. After navigating a dramatic academic path, attending four universities before graduating, as noted by Issuu, he adopted the moniker “Mr Macaroni” on the set of Face 2 Face.
Today, he’s a social media sensation with over 2.1 million Instagram followers, a monetized YouTube channel, and a thriving career in acting, comedy, and event hosting. His skits, often centered on social issues, have earned him accolades like the 2020 Future Awards Africa Prize for Content Creation and recognition as a leading Nigerian influencer.
The Changan CS95, launched by Mikano Motors in December 2024, reflects the brand’s growing prominence in Nigeria’s automotive market, leveraging celebrity endorsements to boost visibility, a trend also seen with ambassadors like Rita Dominic, per Daily Trust.
However, Mr. Macaroni has faced controversies, like during the 2024 #EndBadGovernance protests, where his arrest alongside other activists sparked debates on free speech, with some praising his activism and others criticizing his approach, according to Leadership News.
