Veteran Nigerian singer and social activist, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy has taken to his social media page to announce that he will no longer accord respect to the Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka.
Charly Boy made this remark in a post shared on his official X handle on Friday while reacting to the renaming of the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos after Soyinka.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu who wrote a tribute to celebrate Wole Soyinka in commemoration of his 90th birthday, announced the renaming of the facility after him.
Reacting to the new development, Charly Boy protested against the move, saying the “Mighty have fallen, for beans”
He wrote, “Uncle WOLE I henceforth withdraw all the respect I once had for you.
“When late Jimmyjohnson talked about you in the 90s, I thought he was only yabbing you.
“Wow! How some of our MIGHTYs have fallen, for beans, ewa, dodo, is it for rice’?
