Veteran musician and activist Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, has confessed that his manhood is no longer rising due to the country’s economic woes.
Charly Boy recently appeared as a guest on The Discourse With Ken, a classic FM radio feature, where he accepted responsibility for the country’s current state and expressed his deep frustration.
“I am the president of all frustrated Nigerians, na me. My frustration level is very high because I’ve had my own portion of suffering. I’m sure the reason my p3nis doesn’t rise is because of the situation of this country,” he said.
Charly urged Nigerians to take responsibility for their faults and warned against blaming the political elites, whom he dubbed the “ruins of Nigeria.”
“In this Nigeria, our ‘ruiners of Nigeria’ I don’t want to call them leaders, contribute to our current problems but our people don’t want to hear the truth.
The truth is it is high time we stopped blaming these people. If we had taken the right kind of action this wouldn’t have happened,” said Charly Boy.
He expressed heartfelt remorse for his generation’s previous misdeeds and stated that nothing was done to prevent the issues that exist now from beginning all those years ago.
He said:
“I want to take this opportunity to apologize on behalf of people in my generation because a majority of us were missing in action. We had seen the issues coming right from the military regime, no be today. And most of us, the time that we should have done something, we didn’t now look as criminals have taken over our space and to get them out is a problem.”
The activist accused President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress of punishing Nigerians with hunger.
He announced this in a post on his X account on Monday.
“See as APC dey wicked us with hunger and hopelessness. Dia Fathers,” he wrote.
His declaration comes as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reports that Nigeria is witnessing a severe economic crisis.
In a recently published study titled ‘Review of Nigeria’s Post-Financing Assessment,’ the IMF Executive Board voiced concern that Nigeria’s prolonged cost-of-living problem has been exacerbated by stagnating per-capita growth, pervasive poverty, and extreme food insecurity.
However, in the face of mounting hunger and misery in the country, President Bola Tinubu has stated that his administration would do all necessary to increase food production and become a net exporter.
Tinubu provided the guarantee in a statement published by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, following a visit by a group from the Global Tijaniyya Movement led by Khalifa Muhammad Mahe Niass to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
