Mr Macaroni Opens Up About Love, Heartbreak, and the Real Meaning of Commitment
Nigerian actor and content creator Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, recently revealed a heartfelt glimpse into his love life during an episode of the Dating In Lagos Show hosted by Ariyiike Dimple.
The beloved skit maker opened up about a past love that still holds a special place in his heart — despite circumstances keeping them apart. Adebowale described himself as a “single pringle,” not actively searching but still carrying love that transcends distance and difficulty.
“There’s someone that I really loved and I still love her but there are a lot of circumstances that cannot make us be together, a lot of different tests,” he said.
He also shared his thoughts on dating culture in Lagos, describing it as “chaotic” and “anarchy” — a sharp contrast to his own experience of love that started during his university days, away from the fast-paced Lagos scene.

This mature perspective is a refreshing break from the usual glamorized portrayal of relationships and speaks deeply to anyone who’s ever loved quietly or lost love due to unavoidable circumstances.
