They Don’t Make Them Like My Father Anymore — Charly Boy

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.

Portable said, “Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.
“Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.
“Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business.
“Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business.”
