Now I Reactivate My Fight In Defense Of The LGBT Community" Charly Boy Now Becomes Gay Advocate

Nigerian singer, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy has become an activist for gay rights.

He took to his Instagram page earlier today to voice his views on gay rights, and this is coming days after his own daughter came out as a lesbian.

He wrote;

All that I have done for over 50yrs of my life is to root for the underdogs. I turned my back on my goldplated pedigree and wandered into the unknown.

I discovered that victory is a million times sweeter as an underdog. Oh!!!!! Yes.

My life has been one Big fight, against bad habits, poverty, hopelessness, and principalities. But I never backed down.

I battled for the rights of the Okada’s to make a living. I battled for the rights, respect and the big money for the Nigerian Musician, spent weeks in the police cell, as a Pman president. Today, thank God they have a better life. Now am the President of Frustrated Nigerians. I am battling with my comrades to stop the senseless killings of Nigerians. The oppression of Innocent Nigerians and the weaponization of hunger.

Many battles too many to mention. I have been beaten black and blue by the military, police, security agents, been teargassed, shot at, stoned and most time misunderstood even by the people I fight for.

No big deal because I never back down. Now I reactivate my fight in defense of the LGBT community.
You know something? Openness may not completely disarm prejudice but is a good place to start. I am hoping that my support will be a show of strength to the Nigerian LGBT community. Because seriously speaking To each his own.
