Nigerian singer, songwriter, television presenter and activist Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, has shared his experience on being abused by his nanny at the age of 12.
The singer opened up on what happened to him as a young boy. He said he didn’t understand what his nanny was doing to him at that age but that did not stop him from enjoying the act.
Charly boy made this revelation known during an interview on Duke Rants. He also noted that some men between the ages of 35 and 45 are have erectile dysfunction and this affects their minds. According to him, that is a man’s bragging rights and if it affected, then the man is not normal.
He stated that having bedroom activities is not all about the private parts of men and women meeting. Besides, some women can engage in the act by talking. He added that he has been wild from the womb.
The singer also talked about patronizing brothels at the age of 12 and also contacting gonorrhea at that young age.
Charly boy is known for his alternative lifestyle, media productions and political views. He is the host of The Charly Boy Show, 2011 judge for Nigerian Idol, and served as president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria.
Charly initially aspired to become a priest, but left seminary school after a year. In his late teens he moved to America where he attended college, graduating with a degree in Communications.
He ventured into the music industry in 1982, and in 1984 he independently released the highlife single ‘Obodo GiriGiri’. In 1985 he was nearly denied a record deal with Polygram Nigeria due to his appearance until he was introduced to the label’s managing director Ton Seysener who signed him.

@thynk_unlimited1: If men start to talk, you all will be surprised what we went through at young age.
@iamdx2: Men is time for us to speak up.
@churchill_777: It’s high time men begin to speak up. Enough of bottling those traumas.
@suruka.ng: Men are going through a lot. They just choose not to talk about it. There’s a popular saying that men would “rather die than not have an erec*tion,” given the significant psychological and emotional impact that ED can have on their sense of identity, self-worth, and overall quality of life. Various studies have shown that ED is strongly linked to poor mental health, anxiety, depression, and even thoughts of self-harm in severe cases.
