Controversial entertainer and human rights activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has revealed why he thinks agitating for Biafra is 'insane'.
Charly Boy who doesn't hide from controversies has once again shown why he's a social activist, by challenging the reason behind the push to actualise Biafra by the people of South Eastern Nigeria.
Speaking in an interview with The Sun, the controversial entertainer said it's actually 'insane' that people are still pushing for the independence of Biafra.
He said the agitation needs to stop as it's everyone's collective duty to join hands in finding solutions to the numerous problems Nigeria is faced with.

See what he said below:
“Unfortunately, the dreams of nationhood is lost on the altar of deception, and my Igbo brothers must be circumspect on the fact and history, and not be hoodwinked into some insane propaganda that will only lead to more wahala.
So, instead of Biafra, we should channel our energies and abilities towards developing the South-east to become the economic hub of Nigeria. Igbo nation and my people are great but for us to move forward we must kill our individualistic tendencies and come together to do great things.

The fall of Biafra after the genocide, starvation, and immense suffering of my people should teach us something. I believe the failure of the Igbo nation is the fault of the people, her so-called elites and decision-makers. Why have we not poured our energy, capacity and ability into making the South-east the Dubai of the nation as well as the engine room of the Nigerian economy? Who would be our leaders when the South-east is infested with political power-grabbers, 419ers, mindless criminals and looters of our commonwealth and resources? Need I mention names?

Our problem is the lack of men of integrity and a progressive mindset. We lack the right kind of leadership that will fight for the interest of the people. Let it be clear to all that the sufferings and poverty of the people of the South-east are also the sufferings and poverty of the peoples of the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria, including my northern brothers. Even the nascent anti-corruption fight in the country has seen all tribe accordingly represented. It is therefore retrospectively insane to begin to think that a people with a problem would suddenly be relieved when they are attached with a tag #BIAFRA; Abegi."
What do you think? Did he nail it?
