Mr. Macaroni Addresses video of children imitating his skits

Nigerian skit maker Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni, has expressed concern over parents encouraging children to imitate his skits, following a viral video featuring a young boy named Akorede. Macaroni urged parents to exercise caution when nurturing their children's talents, stressing the importance of age-appropriate expression to ensure healthy development.

In a post on his X account, he wrote, "Dear parents and guardians, I understand the desire to showcase the unique talents of our children. However, we must approach this carefully, ensuring their talents are displayed in ways suitable for their age. Our priority should be their well-being, allowing them to grow at their own pace rather than pushing for brief viral fame. Proper guidance will help develop their talents for the long term, rather than focusing on momentary success."

He concluded by emphasizing that while it's important to nurture children's creativity from a young age, giving them time to grow at a natural pace is crucial for sustainable development.
