– Son of the late Supreme Court Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, Charly boy has told people shouting for Biafra to learn from history
– He accused IPOB of not knowing what they are talking about
– He said if they are truly serious about Biafra, then they should go back to the South-east and develop the region
Charly Boy, the self-styled ‘Area Father’ and son of the late Supreme Court Justice Chukwudifu Oputa has blasted his Igbo brothers agitating for the State of Biafra.
According to the former PMAN president, people shouting for Biafra do not know what they are talking about.
Charley Boy, who is also a media personality and self-professed President of Frustrated Nigerians, urged his Igbo brothers to learn from history, Vanguard reports.

He said: “Now people are shouting Biafra but I say they don’t know what they are talking about. Experience is the best teacher and those of us that experienced Biafran war first hand know this is a foolish venture. During the war, my village was like the war theartre and I saw people dying per second all around me.
“There was death everywhere. If you have been seeing gory pictures of Syria, how death visits from everywhere, it was the exact way Biafra was during the war. Believe me, bullets didn’t even kill us as much as hunger. You can imagine, you and your friends would be playing and all of a sudden there would be air raid.
“As you were running helter-skelter to take cover you would see some people’s heads being blown off their bodies. Such sights have never left me. I was about 17 years old then and now somebody is shouting ‘Biafra’. No.

Going further, he noted: “If the people shouting for Biafra are serious they should go back to the South-east to develop the region. It is just not right going to another man’s land to develop it while leaving your own to lie fallow.
“After we must have developed the South-east, then we can be shouting Biafra. Biafra is a thing of the mind. Is it in this hunger you expect people to fight? How do you want to do that?”
Meanwhile, Charley Boy has also accused Nigerian pastors of hypnotizing and blinding Nigerians with miracles.
He said this recently at the 13th Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Memorial lecture and symposium with the theme: “Nigeria Anti-Corruption War: Whither The Legal Profession and The Judiciary?”
