Comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, also known as AY Makun, has reacted to online trolls who attacked him over his national honours.
The actor was among the many celebrities, athletes and socialites that were conferred the national honours a few hours ago.
However, many were displeased with his new title.
In reaction to this, AY said a national honour is a thing to be proud of and not to be bashed for.
He shared a series of tweets explaining how his contribution to the country has been awarded.
His tweets read, “Those of you shaming or asking me to reject ‘A National Honour’ are clearly missing a vital point.
“Our country is bigger and more important than any president or political party awarding it.
“National honour is the highest recognition anyone can get for his or her contributions to nation building.
“So my allegiance is to a country where I have contributed my own quota, and I am more than happy to be rewarded by the same nation.”
