Veteran singer and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has shared candid insights into his life, marriages, and views on relationships in an exclusive interview with our correspondent, Naomi Chima.
When asked about the common notion that women primarily hold marriages together, Charly Boy emphasized the importance of mutual effort in sustaining a relationship. He stressed the need for clear roles and responsibilities within a marriage, acknowledging the strength and nurturing nature often associated with women.
Reflecting on his own marriage of over 46 years, Charly Boy credited his wife for her understanding and friendship, which he considers crucial in maintaining their bond. He admitted to past mistakes, including infidelity, revealing that he has always been transparent with his wife about his actions.
In his words; “My wife has been a very good friend. She totally understands me. Even if I make mistakes, or sleep with somebody outside, I would tell my wife.
All I can say is that we have a good understanding. Yes, I had made a couple of mistakes in the past. I am not that righteous, but I am a committed person, and I know the things not to do. Like I said, I have been there, I have done that and nothing moves me again. I have seen a lot of women in my life, and I am even tired of them.”
