Veteran entertainer and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has revealed that he is actively searching for a wife for his 46-year-old son.
In a post shared on his X and Instagram pages on Friday, Charly Boy disclosed that his son, who holds a master’s degree and stands 5ft 11ins tall, was previously married but divorced, and now seems hesitant about women.
The outspoken singer said he is seeking a woman from a “good home with humble beginnings,” while insisting that only “authentic graduates” should apply.
“My people, I still dey look for wife for dis my son.
E don marry once, divorce. Now, e be like say e dey fear woman.
Biko, if you’re from a good home with humble beginnings, DM me. He is coming next month.
He is a master’s degree holder, age 46, 5ft 11ins, very humble.
If you’re not an authentic graduate don’t bother. I need to tie him to Nigeria,” he wrote.
Charly Boy further hinted that his son will return to Nigeria next month, and he hopes to “tie him to Nigeria” through marriage.
Mixed reactions trail announcement
The revelation has sparked a wave of reactions online, with some fans applauding the move, while others questioned why a man of 46 needs his father to find him a wife.
One user, @maureenlanky, advised:
“Hello Charly, how many kids has he got? What’s the relationship with the mum and kids now? If he’s still damaged, he needs to heal first. A bad divorce is not the end of life.”
Another user, @just_jessycute, teased:
“Arranged marriage, is that you???”
@ojiugoanyaeji wrote:
“Hahaha, why is he afraid of a woman?😂😂😂 Is he not man enough?”
Others suggested potential matches, while some described Charly Boy’s son as “responsible like his grandpa.”
Despite the divided opinions, Charly Boy’s unusual approach has once again placed him at the center of public conversation, highlighting both cultural expectations around marriage and the evolving dynamics of love and relationships in Nigeria.
