Controversial Nigeria entertainer, activist Charley Boy has revealed the reason he returned back to his first love, music. In an exclusive interview with Punch, the Ex-Tv host also hints on what the youths must do to have a better Nigeria.
“That #EndSARS protest, you know it rattled the hell out of all of them and that was why they used that kind of force to intimidate the youths that were protesting. I have been holding protests for almost 40 years now.”
“There comes a time fatigue sets in; I am not as young as I used to be, I am not as agile as I used to be; I don’t have the kind of strength I had 20 years ago. And that was why I decided to go back to my hobby, my music, and speak through it against all the frustrations because I no longer have good legs to embark on a protest, shouting ‘We no go gree!’”
“The youths who want a better future must know that before that better future will come, blood must flow. I don’t know how we can do it without that, I just don’t know because these people are demonic, they are evil, they are devilish. What they are giving us now is just sample, they are ready to do worse things.”
“But are we ready for them? Look at poor me, I should be enjoying my senior citizenship status now, but every day I am looking over my shoulder. What kind of life is that? Look at my environment so toxic! What good can come out of this? And that is why I pity the young ones, how do they survive this toxic environment? Look around you, do you think people are sane any longer?”
“You can’t be sane and be living in this place, we are all mad to certain degrees, no sane person can stay in this clime. Nigeria is a burial ground of the youths’ dreams. So, if the youths feel that they want to kill of all them, they should better die than to stay like this and be without a future. If they understand it that way, maybe there will be hope because anything that these people can do, the young people can do better.”
“You can’t tell me that the people of 19th century can defeat people of the 21st century. It is not possible. I am just praying that the people who organised that #EndSARS protest can do something much bigger. But it is not a question of whether people will die – People will die! We’ve been docile for too long and we have allowed these people to get entrenched in the system, now taking them out is the problem.”
On practical steps that the youth should take ahead of the 2023 general elections, “First of all, I found out, sadly, that most of the young people who were making noise during the last elections didn’t register. But all these elections, are they not mere selections? There are no elections but we can no longer help it. So, the youth should start thinking about setting up their own thing. Because if we try that one and it doesn’t work, everything must scatter. For this country to stand again, we have to raze the building down to the foundation and start again. That is the only way.” he said.
