The last couple of months have been pretty hectic for the one known as Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy or Area Fada as some others affectionately call him. The Enigmatic singer, entertainer and social engineer has been busy working his butts off to ensure his new book, 999, got an unforgettable launch. And it did. With former head of state, General Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR) leading the assemblage of distinguished Nigerians present at the event, you couldn’t have asked for a more compelling gathering.
As expected, OBJ stole the show with his astonishing display of his jumping’ skills and hilarious wits. Many left with a totally new and better informed impression of the Charly Boy brand, something different from the perception they held before the launch. The feedbacks from those who have read the book have been nothing short of remarkable and one would think that the Area Fada by now will be taking a well deserved rest after the successful launch. But not the energetic, ever evolving and restless Odudubariba1of Africa.
The big news presently is that, in the coming months, Charly Boy will be taking on a new project. He plans to take to another level his two biggest pet projects right now which is the Charly Boy Foundation and his new book 999. This is new in this part of the world and those who have been privy to the new project have been full of praises for the man who has taken it upon himself to combat Prostate with everything he’s got. A few days ago, he spoke to a group of selected journalists in Lagos and revealed how he plans to do a tour of London, Germany and Kenya, with OBJ leading the team. Below are excerpts of the interview.
