Charley Boy Turns Daddy’s Funeral Into Carnival As Artistes Invade Oguta For All-Time Show Uzo Chikere The scion of the late jurist, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, Charles Oputa aka Charley Boy seems poised to bring down the roofs in the small lake side town of Oguta as he has dragged all the big name artistes in Nigeria for a grand musical gig designed to bid farewell to his father buried on Friday in his family home in Oguta. Following the well-attended Special Court session in honour of the legal icon on Thursday, a huge musical concert with a carnival feel was arranged for Saturday in the centre of the town with all the well-known and even budding acts on the card. Such artistes as Sweden-based Dr. Alban, American-based Felix Duke, Flavour, Daddy Showkey, Asha, Tu-Face, among many others are all lined up to perform at the star-studded event which has already raised the expectation of the residents and indigenes alike. A good number of the artistes were already in town as at Thursday even as the rigging up of the gigantic stage was in rapid progress. Presently, Oguta has become the cynosure of eyes given the razzmatazz, glitz and glamour that Charley Boy has introduced into his father’s funeral which has set Oguta aglow and attracted a large number of visitors more than the famed Oguta Lake Resort. Everybody in the town rather than mourn, is exhilarating in respect of the spectacle being experienced at Justice Oputa’s funeral. All the Hotels are fully booked and it is doubtful if those entering the town for the revels this weekend will find places to lodge. Apart from the concert, Friday was also a day set aside for the oldies as music of yester years was generously dished out for the enjoyment of men and women who were in their youthful stage at the time such numbers were the rave of the moment. The consensus in the entire Oguta is that Justice Oputa was a good family man, fulfilled father who achieved so much; not because he acquired material wealth, but due to his decency and dignity and so deserves to be celebrated even in death. What has pervaded the town is like Charley Boy Show come home and the indigenes are happily savourin
