Charly Boy Mocks Those Who Wrote Him Off....As He Prepares To Launch His New Book, "999'

 

Iconic entertainer, musician and social engineer, Charly Boy aka Area Fada, is presently in an upbeat mood. He is preparing for the release of his much anticipated book strangely titled, '999'. The event, which is expected to have in attendance some of the biggest names in Nigeria's political, social and business establishments, including a former President, General Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR), will hold sometime in June this year. 

For those who have found the book title, '999' strange and have linked it to the Antichrist number, 666, the Odudubariba 1 of Africa says the book title hasn't the remotest connection to the Antichrist.

"It just signifies a new beginning, the start of a fresh chapter in my life, that's all," Charly Boy explains while addressing a select gathering of senior journalists days ago.

The book, '999', is a compendium of some of Area Fada's most compelling and defining experiences from way back till date. They also reflect his opinions and positions on some sensitive national subjects.

As the legendary entertainer gets busy preparing for the big launch of his newest project, he takes time off to throw jabs at the many individuals who predicted he would not last as an entertainer and as a brand. They doubted his longevity in the industry. He tells them he is still here, still standing tall. He captures his feelings in the poetic piece below, written in the most beautiful and fluid pidgin English you could possibly ever come across....

I Outlived Predictions About My Life

Some people already write my ending since.

Dem say I no go last.

Dem say I go fade.

Dem say this my lifestyle no get future.

Some even dey wait make I fall.

But see me now.

Still here.

Still standing.

Still relevant.

Not because life easy.

But because I refuse to disappear.

I survive criticism.

I survive misunderstanding.

I survive seasons wey suppose finish man.

Because I no dey live to impress anybody.

I dey live my truth.

And truth get stamina.

Time test me.

Life shake me.

But I no break.

So to all the predictions all the conclusions wey people draw about my life

I outlive all of them.

Because when you stand inside your truth, you no dey expire.
