National Theatre: I henceforth withdraw all the respect I have for you – Charly Boy tells Wole Soyinka
Veteran singer and social activist Charles Oputa, known as Charly Boy, stated that he will no longer respect Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka. He made this statement on his official X handle on Friday in response to the renaming of the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, after Soyinka.
President Tinubu, in a tribute to Soyinka’s 90th birthday, announced the renaming of the facility. Charly Boy reacted by protesting the decision, saying the “mighty have fallen, for beans.”
He wrote, “Uncle WOLE I henceforth withdraw all the respect I once had for you.
“When late Jimmyjohnson talked about you in the 90s, I thought he was only yabbing you.
“Wow! How some of our MIGHTYs have fallen, for beans, ewa, dodo, is it for rice’?
