Veteran singer and social activist Charles Oputa, often known as Charly Boy, has said that he will no longer show respect for Prof. Wole Soyinka, the recipient of the Nobel Prize.
Strong opponent of President Bola Tinubu Charly Boy made the claim in a post on his official X Twitter on Friday in response to the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos being renamed in Soyinka’s honour.
The renaming of the facility in Soyinka’s honour was announced by President Tinubu in a message he penned to honour Soyinka on his 90th birthday, according to news reports.
Charly Boy reacted by criticising the action in his post, stating that the “Mighty have fallen, for beans.”
He wrote, “Uncle WOLE I henceforth withdraw all the respect I once had for you.
“When late Jimmyjohnson talked about you in the 90s, I thought he was only yabbing you.
“Wow! How some of our MIGHTYs have fallen, for beans, ewa, dodo, is it for rice’?
