“After disowning my parents and fighting them all my life, they died in my house” -Charly Boy

[@ibiminaamachree]

There's no better feeling than living with any of your parents in your house and looking after them in their last days. God bless.

[@idongesitjoshua7172]

Its not good to judge people. Thats the lesson i learnt from this whole Charlie Boy and his father's stories i heard from when i was a child.

[@benedictayayratutu3906]

I love this man, he’s free…. He doesn’t follow the rules, he makes the rules 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@favooured1]

No matter what you do, do not raise your voice at your parents and don't disrespect them. At the end of the day, they're still your parents and you came into this world through them. Well done Charly Boy! This should be a lesson for others!

[@Chikodinakaa]

He talks so calmly 🫶🏽🤗❤️‍🔥

Sometimes, the child parents feel is the worst ends up being the one that would take care of them at old age...same thing happened to me.

His father the great Barr Chukwudifu Oputa SAN,JSC was a truly great man. One of the finest lawyer and Supreme court Justice Nigeria has ever seen. May his soul RIP

[@calinwa16]

Haaa😮, that's crazy. As a law student, it is really shocking.

[@casmirifeanyi7788]

​@@calinwa16just curious, why is that crazy?

[@2honey696]

His father was never a SAN in his lifetime. But you got it right when you said that he was a lawyer, and Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

[@casmirifeanyi7788]

@@2honey696 are you sure that he was never a SAN? how then was he that recognized in Nigeria tat much, without him being a SAN. If justice chukwudifo Oputa was never a SAN, then it only means that bring a SAN is worthless

I really admire you Area Fada. I love your strength to move against all odds. I'm at odds with my teenage daughter sometimes but I really really envy her ability to stake her claim in this world. I'm actually really proud of how strong she is to stand up for herself.

I hope you texted that to her and let her know❤

[@casmirifeanyi7788]

Yes, please do what the above commenter stated in his reply to your comment. Because she needs the approval and acknowlegement of her parents to succeed the more in this cruel word.

[@chichilove8699]

It was really an interesting story. Good to know that he flipped around and he also took care of his parents in their old age. Weldone sir

[@LILYOFNIGERIA]

I remember Charly Boy's house at Gbagada. I LOVED looking at it as we drove past to visit family around there. Nobody can make me hate him. Who remembers when all the okada riders rode with him for an issue some time ago? Area Papa!! He has ALWAYS been a catalyst. Can you imagine Justice Oputa not introducing himself as he then was, but, as Charly Boy's father instead? Massive W for him. Keep going!💪🏽 If you're reading this Charly Boy here are your flowers while you're still alive to see and enjoy them sir.

[@Elle-est]

But did you notice that there were so many I don't know in his answers. Who ended up been broke? Who ended in the village? He chose to be abnormal and see him now. Christ is the way. There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” is a verse from the Bible, Proverbs 14:12.

[@Elle-est]

Having a foresight .Time is essential.

[@dr.hachimenumamadi9914]

Yes. Charlie Boy's house at Gbagada has the Inscription : 'Beware of Pins' instead of the popular 'Beware of Dogs'. I kept reading and wondering at that inscription each time I passed the place. Charlie Boy is a unique character if you ask me.

[@afolabiadedayo6558]

There is no other Charly Boy on the planet... People like him like a comet come once in a blue moon!!!

[@basiliauzoahia7197]

I didn't hear when his mum passed. Chukwudifu Oputa God bless his soul. Gentleman and a pure Catholic.

Its always interesting listening to uncle Charles speak. As you looked after your parents in their vulnerable moments, may your children also do the same for you, sir. 😇🙏

I love how the story ended with his father. A father son relationship can be very tumultuous.

[@zee3peo]

Charley Boy was a hero of sorts to me. His presence in my Lagos then was a shot in the arm for me. His music was a mixture of quality and finery unlike any other back then. His fashion style was a beautiful revolution to me. The mystery that courted him especially in a conservative time in Nigeria at the time, piqued my interest. I was in the fashion world back then and my perspectives blended with his. I wasn't aware of his struggles until watching this interview. This man is an outlier and I respect his presence of Self, his ability to speak his truth and the way he lives unapologetically. I hail his gift to his generation and the next.

[@mrsrosemanmamaagnes2561]

[@chieduegwim8728]

well, nice podcast Chude. However, children and adults alike must realize that whatsoever you sow, so also shall you reap. Parenting is a very tough job. many times you must exhibit tough love towards a child for that child to become responsible in life, but on the flip side as well, as a child when you over trouble your parents, your own children will trouble you in the future! its called law of sowing and reaping. Some of us who have very stubborn children, its because somewhere in the distant past the parent was as stubborn if not worse.

Obama greyed after 8 years shouldering d responsibility of USA. BRF aged after 8 years in FGN bearing d burden of Nigerian roads. BAT successfully piloted Lagos state under a hostile FGN. He has forged many incredible political mergers, he has been on nationwide campaign trails for years. CB has piloted only his affairs. He's an armchair political activist. Your comparison is unfair. Affairs of state wears people out. Take a look at Cameron, Blair, Bush before and after pics. Uneasy lies d head that wears d crown.
