Veteran Singer, Charly Boy Reveals He Does Not Believe In One Nigeria

Activist and veteran singer, Charles Chulwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy has disclosed that he doesn’t believe in one Nigeria.

The 70-year-old singer in a recent exclusive interview with The Nations said that his submission is a result of the situations of things happening in Nigeria for the last four decades.

“No, I don’t (believe in one Nigeria) because we are in bed with strange fellows who don’t understand us and we don’t understand them,” Charly Boy said.

Charly Boy who’s working on releasing a new EP has also disclosed that he has no regrets about the kind of life he has lived so far.

“No, I will do it over and over again. I love my life. I love how I have unfolded over the years,” he said.

Charlie boy is one man I have exceptional respect for. Fearless, open, honest in his manner of criticism, defiant, consistent with his beliefs, challenging every aspect of governance in Nigeria. This is a man who would have used his father's powerful influence in Nigeria to enrich himself in any government or private sector. Instead, he opted to fight the inhumanity, injustice, poverty, corruption, dehumanization, marginalization in Nigeria, tribe regardless. Charle boy is a man. Chief Obafemi Awolowo was right when he said, Nigeria is a mere geographical creation. To be honest, if we comprehensively go through our history from independence to date, considering the unspeakable horrible situations we have experienced, Nigeria has no logical reason, and no presentable purpose to exist anymore. The British only brought us together by map for their own advantage with key force on our mineral resources, oil and gas in particular. Nothing else matters to them. Nigeria had never worked for Nigerians, only for the West. Best we call it a wrap, and go our separate ways in place of fighting, and killing ourselves. Self deceit is a disease no sensible individual wants to contract.
