Legendary Nigerian performer Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy or Area Fada, recently expressed his displeasure with renowned playwright Wole Soyinka.
Charly Boy criticized him on his Instagram page for degrading himself to serve corrupt politicians.
He said he always had a great respect for him and compared him to the late Chinua Achebe, calling it a fucking shame.
But now he realizes that Soyinka will never be the same as Chinua Achebe.
“The kin respect I had for this man 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”.
