Entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, on Friday shared on Facebook how the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, once surprised him with a “Ghana Must Go” bag filled with things one can “never imagine.”

In the post titled “The Day Peter Obi Surprised Me With Ghana Must Go,” Charly Boy said Obi phoned him around 1 a.m. to request an early-morning visit.

According to him, they spent nearly two hours discussing politics, Nigeria and family matters.

After Obi left, Charly Boy said he peeped into the large bag the politician had brought along, only to find it filled with traditional snacks.

He narrated, “We siddon gist about Nigeria, about politics, about family etc, for almost 2 hours. Na so Obi come say, ‘See small thing I bring for you.’ I said, Thank you, sir, without even opening it.

“As Obi waka go, I say make I peep inside this bag. My people, you can never imagine wetin full inside this bag.

“Inside the bag were 3 bottles of roasted groundnuts. Many alegator peppers, kola nuts, pawpaw, oranges, agara, mangos, bananas etc. wey Obi pack by himself. I just no know when I fall for ground begin laugh.”

Charly Boy said he called Obi to express his gratitude, only for the politician to tell him, “Senior I no fit give you money, but I fit give you this one, na my hand pick.’ Which kind native intelligence pass this one. Dis Peter na Okute. But I love the bobo no be here. Na so I say, Obi thank you oh.”

The activist noted that the gesture touched him more than money could, and was a reminder that life is not too hard.

“Sometimes na the little things go remind you say life no too hard. Na kolanut and bitter kola wey Obi dash me sweet me pass money,” he wrote.

Charly Boy, a public promoter of Peter Obi, has always vocalised his support for the politician.

In 2023, he declared his intention to walk naked on the street to jubilate if Obi emerged victorious at the election petitions tribunal.

Celebrating Charly Boy’s Birthday in 2023, Obi had also stated that Nigeria needs more men like the activist “who can speak truth to power and hold the leaders accountable.”

Akindele said “Anytime I go to church, I am always the one they take pictures of. So I will join online.”

“Every time I have challenges I go to the Celestial church quietly at night for solutions. But I have to stop hiding and publicly identify with the church”, she said.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
