The popular area father, Charles Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy has come out to react to the news circulating around that he’s born again.
The activist was in the news that he gave his life to Christ in Abuja church and he has said there is nothing special in what he did, thus, he sees no reason why it made it to the news.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, Charly Boy opened up that he has always been a spiritual person and he doesn’t feel it is a big deal if he made his spirituality known to the world.
Read what he said below:
“God has been in my life ever since I was born and that is why I am alive till date.
I have always gravitated towards spiritual things. It is not every time I go to church that it would be announced that I am born again; how many times would I be born again?
I have followed a very spiritual path as reflected in one of my articles titled, ‘Like Jesus like Charly.’ Jesus during his time was a revolutionary and most of his messages were not acceptable by all back then.
Most of the people did not believe in him but he respected humanity.
I have respected humanity as well especially in my generation through my consistency, tenacity and advocacy.
There are a lot of young people that would have given up on life but because of me, they have stuck to their dreams and ambitions in life.
“I was happy that I went to a place where I was not seen as Charly Boy but a human being and I was accepted for who I am. Although I have always tongue-lashed religious leaders because I feel that corruption has got into the church on a grand scale, I also know that there are a few that stand out.
The church where I re-dedicated my life to Christ is one of those churches because of their outreach programmes and the number of young people that they have empowered.
These are the things that spoke to me and made me resolve to go to the church. The young people that I am looking for are all in the churches.”
