Charly Boy reacts to renaming of National theatre after Wole Soyinka, withdraws respect

Veteran musician and political commentator, Charly Boy has declared that he will no longer show respect to Nobel Laureate Prof Wole Soyinka.

In a recent post on his X handle, Charly Boy criticized the decision to rename the National Arts Theatre in Lagos after Soyinka, a move announced by President Bola Tinubu in a tribute to Soyinka on his 90th birthday.

Charly Boy expressed his disapproval of the renaming and withdrew his respect for Soyinka.

He wrote:

“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’?”

@tonyajah said: “GEJ once named University of Lagos (Unilag) after Moshood Abiola University, and it didn’t work.

I see the same thing being repeated here. What people know is National Theatre, and that’s settles it.”

@Nairaexchanger said: “When they are gone, we will correct all the madness.”

@seyialli said: “You talk too much.

Nobody regard you or any of your word.

Find somewhere to look for your daily bread as show might not come for Agulu gbajue!”
