Veteran Nigerian music star, Chalse Oputa, known by his stage name, Charly Boy has expressed readiness to join Nigerian youths in staging a nationwide protest against the prevailing hardship in the country.


[b]Charly Boy in a chat with DAILY POST on Monday said he believes that the Nigerian youths possess the ability to retrieve their country from the wrong hand.[/b]a!!Q+

DAILY POST reports that Nigerian youths who are angered by the untoward hardship bedeviling them, have vowed to embark on protest nationwide beginning from August 1 to August 10.


Many socio-political activists have been advocating for revolution in the country, saying some policies of the government that birthed the current economic situation must be reversed.

Protest has also been trending on X social media platform with many users expressing divergent views on the matter.

Speaking on the planned protest, Charly Boy, who has championed several protests previously, said he is currently hibernating, stating that when he observed that the youths are serious with their aim, “their father will be in the front”.


He said, “I am fully in support of whatever the young people will do to recover their stolen country. I have been a fan of the youths for so many decades. I’m in support of anything they can do to end this quagmire.

“Until that day, I will sit in my house watching. When they finally say enough is enough and they mean it, their father will be in the front. That time I will know that they are now serious. ‘I go know say their mumu don belefu’ them.

“We are all shopping from the same market. We are all feeling it. Do you think I’m happy with the situation? Do you think I’m happy with the environment? It is affecting me also”.


On an alleged threat by the Nigeria Police, as contained in a leaked memo, the maverick entertainer said that the police lacked the legal right to stop any protest.

According to him, “Police can't stop any protest. The only thing that can stop protest is fear in the young people, that is the only hindrance. It is our civil right to protest. As long as we are doing it in a civil and non-violent way, it is very much allowed.

“One day, them go wake-up in country and them go regret all the stealing and oppressions that they have done.


“The Federal lawmakers that are collecting billions of naira when people are suffering, the young Nigerians know them. They know their address, they know their girlfriends, they know where the lawmakers travel to. When the heat starts, they will know”.

However, the activist advised the intending protesters to remain peaceful, stressing that they should not entertain any violence in their demonstration.

“I will advise as a father that the protest should be peaceful. There are a lot of things that they can peacefully do that can send powerful messages. Nobody needs to resort to violence.

“We see what is happening in Kenya, we can do better. I have always believed in the exceptional youths of this country. I know that the day they will say enough is enough, it will be enough”, Charly Boy added.

It is well indeed...

Who would have thought back then that Nigeria would turn out to be like what it is at this moment?

My problem isn't about the protest but those people who will do everything possible to hijack it's original purpose and turn it into looting,robbery and killings.....

Well,as for those of una wey dey prepare to protest,my only advice for una na be say make una use una head well..

I think we need more hunger before coming to our senses to deliver ourselves and coming generations from our selfish leaders.

We'll remain a prey in the hands of politicians and our multi-dimensional problems will linger so long as one tribe sees the other as an adversary:
the Yoruba still see Igbos as their mortal enemy, the Igbo man sees Yoruba man as a traitor. an Hausa man sees Igbo as his perennial foe, Both Yoruba and igbo see the Fulani as wild animals. The Fulani see the entire country as their sole heritage and even the Hausa and Fulani herders are at war in the farm.

Fortunately, this is what our politicians need to continue fooling us

Therefore, in this condition, only hunger can help us to lay our differences aside, forge a united spirit that will deliver us from our self-centred leaders.

I support peaceful protest for those who are willing to participate.

Stay at home, these government don't like youths o

Yes ooo...


The youths who are determined to change the narratives should lead the protest, Igbo youths will join later when they see the determination

Note Charley boy is older than Tinubu ooh

So please talk to him with respect

Nigeria is a country with many failed policies...wetin concern police n protest ban or have they forgotten what happen during GEJ era?
Even the current president ask police to protect protesters and even join but today police is acting good.

Police you cant ban protest..rather provide protection n be on the red alert for hoodlums n touts they wil use to scutter the peaceful protest!
