Charlyboy openly declares he’s Biafran

Eccentric and equally controversial musician and social critic Charles Oputa popularly known as Charlyboy has for the first time spoken publicly about Biafra.

Charlyboy in the declaration on his Facebook page says he is Igbotic not because he’s a nerd, or a Jew man, but because “I represent and symbolize all the characteristic of a typical Igbo man pre civil war’.

The singer, songwriter, television presenter, publisher, producer and grandfather who recently issued a warning during an interview saying we may soon lose our identity as Nigerians and Africans if the right things are not done, says the fact that Igbos may have short circuited their political growth doesn’t take away the fact that “we are great Nigerians”.

“I am a proud Igbo man, a home boy and a native fowl. No demo, my friends call me Igbotic not because am a nerd, or a Jew man, but because I represent and symbolize all the characteristic of a typical Igbo man pre civil war. The Igbos may have short circuited their political growth, but it doesn’t take away the fact that we are great Nigerians.

“I have learnt to be more Igbotic than I ever expected. As an Igbo man, I have learnt to be more profitable in the things I do, I have perfected the art of being tenacious in any dream I chase; to be industrious, consistent and powerful focused. All the lessons I learnt from my brothers in the tribe have made me dogged, hardworking and exhibiting the ability and capacity to survive in any kind of weather. I am originally /Nwa Biafran”, read the message on Charlyboy’s page.
