A journalist by training, TV producer and musician by talent, a human rights activist and social critic by conscience. Charly boy has over the years metamorphosised into the personality of whom we all have one opinoin or the other. Opinions ranging from complimantary to uncomplimantary, negative to positive, love to hatred. with Charly boy you either love him or hate him.
Now, the restless Charly boy as delved into a new vocation: writing. He has just released a book about his life which he calls 'My Private Part'. The book is about everything and anything you want to know about him. The story of Charly boy as told by Charly Boy. No cover-ups. No hypocrisy. No pretences.
I remember once being very wary of Charly Boy. He has this larger than life image that just makes him unapproachable. But I was pleasantly surprised when one day I got the rare opportunity of meeting Charly boy through his cousin Dr Alban who is a very good friend of mine. After spending over three hours with this enigma man, he became very ordinay to me...in a good way. How many of you will believe Charly Boy is a softie and a bit shy? Hard to believe right? Trust me it's all barks, no bites.
Anyway, Charly Boy's book launch was yesterday March 15th at the Shehu Yar'Adua Center, Abuja.
If you find the book, buy it! Something tells me you won't regret it. There's just so much to learn from that man.
