Charly Boy expresses disappointment in Wole Soyinka, compares him to late Chinua Achebe

Nigerian legendary singer, Charles Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy or Area Fada has expressed disappointment in renowned play wright, Wole Soyinka.

Taking to his Instagram page, Charly Boy blasted him for degrading himself to become a servant for criminal politicians.

Describing it as a fucking shame, he noted how he always had a deep respect for him and placed him in the same category as the late Chinua Achebe.

But now, it has dawned on him that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was.

“The kin respect I had for this ma, 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”.
