AreaFadaBlog.com was created by Area Fada, an advocate of the masses devoted to fighting for the rights of the average Nigerian. He is also an inspirational writer who focuses on various subjects in several newspapers, including The Daily Post and his own publication, Charly Boy Magazine.
Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa otherwise known as his stage name Charlyboy was born on 19 June, 1950. In true Charlyboy fashion , his date of birth is a site of controversy, with there being speculation over if he was really born in 1950, 1951 or 1955.
Charlyboy or Areafada as he is popularly referred to as , is a Nigerian singer/songwriter, television presenter, publisher,producer and social engineer. Charlyboy has survived different entertainment, political and economic eras both in Africa and globally.
The Charlyboy brand enjoys cult followership of young and upwardly mobile individuals in Nigeria, Africa and the Diaspora. The brand controls over 30 million Nigerian and African youths.
Charlyboy socio- political views center the point of view of the common, every day African person who is vulnerable to the absence of good governance. Over time the Charlyboy brand has mobilized mass advocacy against bad governance.
He is also known for his alternative lifestyle, controversial views, media productions and most notably, The Charly Boy Show . He had served as president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria, and in 2011, he was a Nigerian Idol Series judge.
The essence of the Charlyboy brand is to build social and political consciousness among Nigerian youths and young people internationally. As his name AreaFada suggests, Charlyboy is a voice for the disadvantaged and underprivileged . The AreaFada himself describes his brand as “a shock to timid and
myopic minds”. According to him, Charlyboy is only a creation and a character different from Charles Oputa. This forms the nexus of his selfless advocacy solely championed by Charlyboy and not Charles Oputa. He will tell you that both personalities possess distinct characteristics.
