“Wole Soyinka reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians” – Charly Boy expresses disappointment in Wole Soyinka over ‘Obidients’ comment

Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy or Area Fada, a legendary Nigerian singer, has expressed disappointment in renowned playwright Wole Soyinka.

Charly Boy blasted him on his Instagram page for degrading himself to become a servant for criminal politicians.

He described it as a fucking shame, adding that he had always had a deep respect for him and compared him to the late Chinua Achebe.

But it has now occurred to him that Soyinka will never be the man Chinua Achebe was.

“The kin respect I had for this ma, was almost the kind of respect I had for the late Justice C.A. Oputa, The Socrates of the Supreme Court. It has finally dawned on me that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was.

Look at a man many Nigerians put on such a high pedestal reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians.

What a fucking shame”.
