On behalf of the very good people of Shomolu, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to you and mummy on the recent loss of your lovely son Pastor Dare Adeboye. The news hit me in Abeokuta as me and Yemi Shodimu were about to devour assorted goat meat and amala at Pankshe. Pankshe is one place in Abeokuta where the amala is divine. As I was about to dig in, I saw a prompt on my phone.
I say let me finish eating because if I read and itâs bad news, I will not eat. So, I finished my food and read the sad news. No one is ever prepared for this, even a man as close to God as you are.
Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy
The call was crisp, Duke of Shomolu, I want to see you. Fada call and I won’t answer? I went o. I entered his lair, and he was looking at me. Still very handsome, roguish and dangerous. I love this man die.
My papa beat me for am. When my father ask me – who do you want to be like when you grow up, I say CharlyBoy. The man beat me like ‘gbomogbomo’. Charly Boy has been consistent in his rebellion. Passionate about Nigeria but weakened by the death of the nation. He is sad. I say, bro, no worry, make we chop afang. He agreed. So I invited other icons, Mudi, Yemi Shodimu, Olisa Adibua, Makinde Adeniran and the Ogelle man Osita Oparagu.
