My Mother Forced Marriage On Me Because I Was Busy Impregnating Women – Charly Boy

Popular showbiz maestro and rights activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has revealed that he married the women he was involved with in those marriages for the wrong reasons.

The entertainer, who recently made the headlines of newspapers when he announced that he was going to divorce his wife and marry her the next day, also said he has been in three failed marriages.

In a chat with The Punch, Area Fada narrated how he was not ready for marriage when his first marriage took place, adding that “my mother forced me to get married. I was busy impregnating people instead of reading my books.”

According to him, she did it to curb his excesses as a teenager.

His words: “I won’t add the conditions of my past marriages to my experience because my case is a little different. I have always seen my father and mother together in love even though they quarrelled and argued overtime.  This made a big impression on me, I admired them. I loved those kinds of things.

“I was not ready for marriage when my first marriage took place. My mother forced me to get married. I was busy impregnating people instead of reading my books, so my mother made sure I got married to curb my excesses as a teenager.

“I was 19, and my mother brought her to me. The second one was when I was in my 20s, I wasn’t even ready as well, it was just to get myself settled in the US, but I later realised that the US wasn’t a place I could settle in. The marriage lasted for about three years, and I cut my stay in the US short because I experienced racism. I was almost killed because of the colour of my skin. Those things made me hate America; my uncles never believed I would return to Nigeria. After the second marriage failed, I married the third woman in America for the wrong reason.”
