Nigerian entertainer and socio-political activist Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy or AreaFada, has shared a fiery reaction to the reported death of former President Muhammadu Buhari. In a series of emotionally charged posts on social media, Charly Boy did not hold back, calling the late president’s passing a symbol of long-overdue justice for failed leadership in Nigeria.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Charly Boy described the death as a chapter in what he believes is karma slowly dealing with the “ruiners” of the nation. He likened the situation to the era of Sani Abacha, recalling the public jubilation that followed the late dictator’s death.
One down, many to go,” he wrote pointedly.
“Anytime a tyrant dies, there is always jubilation. People are happy that their tormentor who almost looked invincible has ‘kpaied’.
Charly Boy criticized the trend of Nigerian leaders seeking medical attention and eventually dying in foreign lands, far from the very citizens and healthcare systems they neglected during their time in power.
Some of the ruiners of Nigeria run to foreign land to die. Not in the hospitals they left to rot. Not among the people they claimed to serve. But in the comfort of a foreign land far from the chaos they created.”
He emphasized that no amount of wealth, travel, or power can shield individuals from the consequences of their actions.
You see life? It has receipts. This is how they will be leaving one by one. The wicked, the heartless, the greedy who sold a nation and thought they’d escape judgment.”
Calling on citizens to stay alert, Charly Boy warned other political figures still in power or retirement:
Let them fly to London, but you can’t fly from truth. Let this be a warning to the rest of them: The people may be quiet, but karma is not sleeping. We the citizens of Nigeria have the last word.”
Earlier, the activist had posted a more cryptic but equally scathing message on Instagram, accompanied by a mocking caption:
See dis AI-looking man. If true true dis na Buhari, God biko, joor handle this man the way he handled all of us frustrated Nigerians. May Karma be his portion.”
Charly Boy’s words reflect the deep frustrations of many Nigerians who feel betrayed by decades of misrule. Whether one agrees with his tone or not, his message reignites the conversation about accountability, legacy, and the heavy cost of leadership failure in Nigeria.
