Foremost Nigerian showbiz maestro and activist, Charles Oputa, a.k.a Charlyboy, is set to release a hit single featuring ace singer and rapper Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz.<\/p>\n
The 68-year-old grand-father, who released his debut high-life album over three decades ago, hinted on the ‘collabo’ in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
The “Nwata Miss” crooner said he has decided to work with Falz because of his philosophical style of music that addresses leadership issues and societal ills.<\/p>\n
He added that the project was an advocacy song targeted at driving positive narratives in the society.<\/p>\n
“Falz is a young man that I so much believe in his music and passion towards positive change in all aspects of our society, and we share similar thoughts.<\/p>\n
“We are working on something together and it will sure stir positive change in our lives as Nigerians.”<\/p>\n
The former president of Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) said that he decided to use music as a tool to inspire ordinary Nigerians, especially youths, towards holding leaders accountable.<\/p>\n
He explained that he was leading an advocacy and enlightenment campaign ‘Na we be Government” and decided to go back to music, his age-long passion, to call citizens to participate in nation building.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“All over the word, the Arts, especially music, have been used to inspire people and change narratives towards a better society.<\/p>\n
“I did not go into music for money, but for the passion for it, and this time I am using it to awake the consciousness of all Nigerians towards building the country they desire.<\/p>\n
“A lot of Nigerians have given up on their country because of bad leadership over the years, and do not believe they have a say in the affairs of their country<\/p>\n
“It is time they are reminded that power truly belongs to them and there is a social contract between them and elected political leaders.<\/p>\n
“Citizens will do their part and political leaders should also fulfill their obligations as promised in their manifesto, and as required by the constitution,” he said.<\/p>\n
The ‘Areafada’ however urged Nigerian singers to look beyond money-making and come up with projects that would propel value reorientation(NAN)<\/p>\n
