Veteran showbiz maestro, Charles Oputa, popularly known as CharlyBoy, says he has no regret for ‘walking his own path’, including his involvement in activism, as he clocked 75.
The all-time social activist stated this in Abuja on Thursday, June 19, 2025.
CharlyBoy, who initially aspired to become a priest, left the seminary after one year.
CharlyBoy said he was a complete opposite of what his late father represented because he was eager to chart his own path.
He said he opted for music and embraced the streets, dashing the high hopes of his father for him.
He said while his father was a legal luminary, he rebelled against parental interference in his career path with a determination to fight for the oppressed, a decision he paid dearly for, but never regretted.

CharlyBoy recounted how he rejected the plum job at Mobil Oil and Gas that was for him by his influential father on his return from the United States after his studies.
According to him, rejecting that job triggered the anger and a beef that lingered between father and son for years.
He said: “I only wanted to break out of my father’s shadow.
“I have no regret whatsoever, as life’s experience has built me into a stronger and fulfilled man.”
CharlyBoy said he has no regrets because event if there was something bad that happened, there was a lesson to learn from.
