Nigeria Is Sitting On A Wrong Foundation –Charley Boy

Nigerian musician and activist, Charles Oputa, profoundly called Charly Boy AKA Area Fada, says Nigeria is sitting on an erroneous foundation that has to get worse before the country gets better.

The controversial singer stated this while speaking about the future of Nigeria in an interview with Silverbird television. He also added that he has apologised on behalf of his generation for the decay in the country.

“I don’t have any fear for the future of this country because I know that the salvation of this country lies in the hands of its exceptional youth. That’s why I play that father role to young people.

“I’ve apologised because even the people of my generation are responsible for this rot. How do you explain that our young ones start to blossom and spread their wings when they leave the shores of the country?

“They do well in foreign lands that in their own. I do have faith. It’s going to take time because of our inactions in the past. It has to get worse before it gets better. You haven’t seen anything. The enemies we fight are demonic.

“Something has to give [way] because this contraption that we call our country is sitting on a wrong foundation. You can’t keep talking about putting buildings on it. The constitution you have needs to be looked into.

“Why have I survived 45 years of marriage to the same woman? It’s because, anytime we have a problem, we come to the table and talk. Unless we have this conversation in an intelligent manner, I’m afraid nothing is going to give.”
