During late 2017 and 2018, Mr Macaroni found himself grappling with depression, a difficult period that coincided with his expulsion from the university.
Reflecting on those years, Mr Macaroni shared, “I was dealing with depression in late 2017/2018, and that was the period I was expelled from university.”

In late 2019, when Mr Macaroni was at the height of his depressive state, he made a pivotal decision. He turned his attention to creating and posting content online.
This transition to seeking success through unconventional means became his turning point. It was a daring move, but one that proved to be a game-changer.
Through his determination, continuous prayers, and a stroke of divine intervention, Mr Macaroni’s fortunes began to change in 2019.
It was in that same year that God finally answered his prayers and opened doors of opportunity.
This breakthrough served as validation for his resilience and the unconventional path he had chosen.
