‘You Leave Problem For Nigeria Go Greet ‘Big Men’ In UK’ – Charly Boy Knocks Tinubu

Published

Maverick entertainer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his recent trip to the United Kingdom, accusing him of focusing on foreign engagements while challenges persist at home.

The outspoken activist also faulted the multi-billion-dollar agreement reportedly signed between Nigeria and the British government, questioning its relevance amid the country’s pressing socio-economic realities.

It was reports that in a post shared on Friday via his 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) handle, written in Pidgin English, Charly Boy expressed dismay over the President’s overseas engagement.

“My people, make we yarn truth without sugarcoating. Bola Ahmed Tinubu waka go UK go greet big men, but for house, fire still dey burn. Na who dey deceive who? You leave problem for ground, carry full convoy go snap picture for palace,” he wrote.

He argued that while officials often justify such trips as necessary for strengthening diplomatic ties and sealing agreements, the realities on ground in Nigeria tell a different story.

The entertainer cast doubt on the effectiveness of international agreements in the face of unresolved domestic challenges such as insecurity, erratic power supply, and widespread economic hardship.

“Dem go say na to build relationship, sign agreement, do big big talk. But abeg, if light never stable, security never sure, and people dey cry, which agreement wan first work?” he queried.

Charly Boy also took a swipe at the size of the Nigerian delegation on the trip, describing it as excessive and symbolic of misplaced priorities.

“Even worse, na full squad dem carry go. Governors, ministers, everybody wan show face. E come be like say governance don turn group excursion,” he added.

Highlighting the continued security challenges in parts of the country, he pointed specifically to the North-East, where residents still grapple with insurgency and humanitarian crises.

“Meanwhile for places like Borno State, people still dey face serious wahala. But our oga dey smile for international camera. Life no be Instagram filter,” he said.

The veteran entertainer concluded by urging the government to prioritise fixing internal issues before seeking validation abroad.

“If your house clean, you no go need go outside go beg for validation. Your people go stand gidigba for you.

“But when ground no balance, even golden handshake go feel like empty promise. Nigeria, open your eye well. This film we dey watch, na rerun,” he added.

A WORD OF WARNING: NEVER LET YOUR SUCCESS MAKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE.

Published

on

September 26, 2026

By

Since you are not feeding anyone, you should never see anyone as being beneath you.

Having money does not make you more human.
Having a degree does not make you more valuable.
Having a big position does not give you the right to disrespect people.

Today, you may be comfortable while someone else is struggling. But life can change unexpectedly. Never use your current advantage to humiliate someone who has less than you.

True greatness is not measured by what you have in your bank account, the car you drive, or the position you occupy.

Your real character is revealed by how you treat people who cannot give you anything in return.

Be humble. Be respectful. Treat people with dignity.

You are not better than anyone simply because you have more than they do.

💬 Do you agree? What do you think makes a person truly great?

BEING EDUCATED SHOULD NEVER MAKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON AN UNEDUCATED PERSON.

Education should give you knowledge, but character determines how you use that knowledge.

Not everyone had the opportunity to attend school or earn academic qualifications. Some people learned through life, work, family, hardship and experience.

Having a degree does not make someone more valuable than the person without one.

Your education should make you more humble, not more arrogant.

Respect the cleaner.
Respect the farmer.
Respect the mechanic.
Respect the trader.
Respect the labourer.
Respect everyone.

Because the person you look down on today may have life lessons you will never learn in a classroom.

Education is powerful—but humility is priceless.

💬 Do you agree? Can someone be highly educated but still lack wisdom?

When Love of Money Turns Children Into Family Expectations

Published

By

Too much love of money can sometimes create unrealistic expectations within families—and some children end up feeling valued only for what they can provide financially.

In many African families, parents make enormous sacrifices to give their children a better life. They work hard, pay school fees, provide food and shelter, and sometimes go through serious financial difficulties to ensure their children have opportunities they never had.

There is nothing wrong with parents hoping their children will become successful.

However, problems can arise when financial success becomes the main measure of a child’s worth.

Some children grow up hearing constant comparisons:

“Look at your mates.”

“Your friend has already bought a car.”

“When will you build your own house?”

“After everything we spent on your education, what have you achieved?”

For some young adults, these expectations can become a heavy emotional burden.

When expectations become pressure

Parents naturally want their children to succeed, but every child has a different journey.

One person may become financially successful at 25. Another may struggle until 35 or 40 before finding stability. Someone else may choose a modest career that provides a peaceful and responsible life rather than great wealth.

Success should not always be measured by cars, houses, expensive clothes or the amount of money someone sends home.

Parents can encourage ambition while still reminding their children that their value is not determined by their bank balance.

Children also have responsibilities

At the same time, children should not use this discussion as an excuse to avoid responsibility.

When parents have sacrificed for their children, appreciation matters. Adult children should make reasonable efforts to support their parents when they are able to do so.

The challenge is finding a healthy balance between gratitude and pressure.

Parents should not expect their children to solve every family problem, while children should not completely forget the people who sacrificed for them.

Love should come before money

A family becomes stronger when financial discussions are balanced with understanding, communication and genuine affection.

Parents can tell their children:

“Work hard. Build your future. Be responsible. We want you to succeed—but we will still love and support you when life becomes difficult.”

That message can make a huge difference.

Money is important. Financial stability is important. Supporting one’s family is important.

But a child’s worth should not be reduced to how much money they can make or how much they can give to their parents.

What do you think?

Should parents expect their adult children to become financially successful because of the sacrifices they made raising them?

Or should parents simply encourage their children to build their own lives while offering support without attaching financial expectations to their love?
