Coles 999: The Memoir of Charly Boy at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In a society where conformity is often rewarded and dissent punished, Charly Boy has spent his life challenging the “norm”. Part memoir, part cultural testimony, 999 traces the life of Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, known as Charly Boy or Area fada, from his childhood under a prominent judicial father—Justice Chukwudifu Oputa—to his controversial role in reshaping Nigerian culture and youth activism. Charly Boy recalls tensions between obedience and self-expression, early music and performance encounters, and moments that shaped his defiant view. Through stories of protest, fame, and reinvention, he examines power, hypocrisy, religion, masculinity, and freedom. Unfiltered and reflective, 999 is a testament to survival and self-identity, showing that rebellion rooted in truth can be a lifelong act of courage.
