Why I deleted my tweets before meeting Super Eagles players - Mr Macaroni
)
During his remark, comedian Mr Macaroni revealed that he had to delete bad comments about the Super Eagles he had posted on Twitter before he joined them for the dinner.
According to him, the action was necessary to avoid any ‘mob action’ from Nigerians on Twitter.
He said,
“When they said I am coming to interact with the Super Eagles, I first went on Twitter, typed my name and Super Eagles.”
“You know, when you do that, all the things you have said about the Super Eagles will come out. So, I deleted everything bad I had said about the Eagles before Twitter (people) would help me to carry it.”
“Now, I will snap pictures with all of you and post and Twitter way ‘oh, when you abused them, you didn't know?”
