Nigerian comedian Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, responded to former President Olusegun Obasanjo's teasing remarks about him at a London event. In a video that went viral on social media, Obasanjo labeled Charly Boy as an "ashawo," a term often associated with a drug dealer or a woman with loose morals. Reacting to the comments on his X handle, Charly Boy stated that he was not offended by Obasanjo's remarks, suggesting they were a reflection of their familiarity and affection.
He explained that he has been given various names throughout his life, including "rebel," "madman," and "jaga-jaga boy," attributing this to the fact that he lives his life differently from others. Charly Boy maintained that Obasanjo's label of "ashawo" was no different and that such names often come when one lives an unconventional life.
He emphasized that if Obasanjo, who has previously praised him for standing by his father and mother, can call him "ashawo," it is a sign of love.
