Charly Boy, born Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, the son of revered late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa (22 September 1916 – 4 May 2014), has said his father’s type don’t exist anymore, referring to his principles in both his personal and professional life.
He made the point in a nostalgic post on Twitter on Thursday.
When somebody noted: “Your dad was a great Nigerian, we miss him,” Charly Boy replied: “I miss him more. He taught me many thing about values and principles.
“I don’t think I belong in such a decayed society (of today). My image may be loud but my life is simple and ordinary like my father taught me.

“To reconcile it with the values of these days is killing. Do you understand?”
He put up two pictures. One had him kissing his father, while the other was trademark Charly Boy themed, which had his father in baseball cap and tracksuit.
Charly Boy wrote: “I remember in the 1960s when my father was a successful lawyer in Port Harcourt.
“Everyday seemed like Christmas because he was always celebrating one thing or the other.
“As soon as he was made a judge in 1965 everything changed. He hardly attended any social functions and the house parties ceased.

“When my siblings and I would query him as to the sudden change, he would give us a long lecture on how judges should completely abstain from public life.
“That was then. They don’t make dem like that any more.”
Oputa, often described as the Socrates of the Supreme Court, was promoted Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 1984, serving for five years.
Charly Boy’s father was recalled by the President Olusegun Obasanjo to head the Human Rights Violation Investigation Commission of Nigeria (famous as ‘the Oputa Panel’) to investigate human rights violations during the military rule of 1984 to 1999.

Former American baseball player, David Justice has revealed why he divorced his ex-wife, actress Halle Berry.
Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘All the Smoke’ podcast with co-host Matt Barnes, Justice explained that he left Berry because she doesn’t do house chores and lacks motherly instincts.
“I’m looking at my mom, I’m a Midwest guy. So in my mind, I’m thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, and I’m thinking OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with? And at that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem like motherly,” he stated.

Justice said that the marriage could have been saved if he had known about therapy.
He explained that he was young and naive then and had only been in one relationship before his marriage to Berry.
He, however, maintained that he is not to be blamed for the divorce, adding that the movie star was “dead wrong” for making the world believe he was the problem in their failed marriage.
