Legendary Nigerian entertainer Chukwuemeka Oputa, well known by his stage as Charly Boy, has opened up about overcoming prostrate cancer.
According to Naija News, the political activist revealed on Saturday that he has been battling the illness for more than ten days via his Instagram page.
The artist claimed that although he had faced many challenges in life, overcoming prostate cancer was the greatest favor that God had bestowed upon him.
He also thanked God for sparing both his life and the life of the Nigerian surgeon who had operated on him.
He captioned the video: “Gosh, I have fought one too many battles in my short life. Most of the times, I win. Prostate cancer cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot conquer dis spirit.
“Abegi make una help me Thank God for giving me yet another chance.”
In the meantime, Charly Boy recently responded to rumors that the Igbos will take over Lagos.
Following the gubernatorial election, according to Naija News, several politicians in the State have claimed that Igbos intend to seize control of Lagos through the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Charly Boy responded on social media, calling the charges “silly propaganda” and urging others to stop disseminating them.
He questioned the methods Igbos would use to drive Yorubas out of the state or evict them fortuitously from their homes and businesses.
