Charly Boy Reflects on Nigerian Politics

0

Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa (aka Charly Boy), is a Nigerian singer/songwriter, television presenter, publisher, producer and one of Nigeria’s most controversial entertainers, best known for his alternative lifestyle, biker riding, political views, and TV productions, most notably The Charly Boy Show. He has been president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN). He is the second son of Nigeria’s former Supreme Court judge Chukwudifu Oputa, cousin to Swedish-based musician Dr. Alban.

In his words:

Nigeria needs the kind of leader that people are afraid of, one that commands tremendous respect, charismatic with a lot of enigmatic swagg. We have had enough of biscuit, baba sala, yahoo.com leaders, we need someone who can whip people back to shape, because many tinz spoil. Someone who can turn around most of the things that have gone wrong, because right now nobody is afraid of anything, impunity is the order of the day. This country needs a man who is selfless and ready for the ultimate sacrifice, one who smells different, has the guts and is strong enough to shake Nigeria to its roots, by dealing roughly with some motherf?kers who have messed up this country.

Nigeria doesn’t need a man who is indecisive about things and afraid, she needs a man who is tough enough to confront the wolves. Nigeria needs a benevolent dictator. It’s really time for some Ass kicking.

The Illusion Of Prosperity And Happiness

Adorning oneself in expensive clothes and trinkets, and amassing collections of material possessions, like cars, houses, private jets, all the expensive things you lay your eyes on. Will make you a Big boy/girl and the envy of lesser Boys/Girls. But that’s only a substitute for genuine prosperity. Maintaining the illusion of prosperity, though, is critical to our economy as it is, because its foundation is built on consumption, fraud, credit and debt.

True prosperity is a vibrant environment and an abundance of health, happiness, love, and relationships. As more people come to perceive material goods as the form of self-identification in this culture, we slip farther and farther away from the experience of true prosperity.

How you see the matter?
