Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charly Boy has responded to criticism surrounding the engagement of his 50-year-old daughter to her female partner, saying his daughter is old enough to make decisions about her own life.
The controversial entertainer, known for his outspoken views on social and personal issues, maintained that while parents can offer guidance and advice to their children, they cannot dictate the choices of an adult.
“She Is 50, Not 15”
Speaking about his daughter’s decision, Charly Boy questioned why anyone should expect him to control the life of a woman who is already 50 years old.
According to him, his responsibility as a father is to advise his daughter and express his opinion, rather than attempt to control her decisions.
“How you wan tell 50-year-old woman how to live her life? At that age, she don live enough life to know herself.
“As a father, I fit advise. I fit talk my mind. But I no get remote control for another adult’s life.”
Daughter Has Five Children and a Great-Grandchild
Charly Boy also revealed that his daughter is a mother of five and already has a great-grandchild.
He stressed that regardless of the choices she makes in her personal life, she remains his daughter and deserves his love and support.
The entertainer further disclosed that she had experienced difficulties in a previous marriage before eventually finding happiness in her current relationship.
“Who Am I to Control Her Life?”
Charly Boy drew from his own relationship with his late father, explaining that his father could not prevent him from becoming the person he wanted to be.
He said that experience has influenced his approach to parenting and his belief that adults should ultimately have the freedom to make their own life choices.
“My own father couldn’t stop me from becoming Charlyboy, the man I wanted to become.
“So who am I to stand in front of my daughter and try to control the life she has chosen for herself?”
“I Wish Her Happiness”
Despite the criticism surrounding his daughter’s relationship, Charly Boy said his major concern is her happiness.
He maintained that people may have different opinions about how others choose to live, but everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue happiness in their own way.
“I wish her happiness. I wish everybody happiness. At the end of the day, na love remain.”
A Father’s Perspective
Charly Boy’s comments have reignited conversations about parenting, personal freedom and the extent to which parents should influence the decisions of their adult children.
For him, the issue is not about controlling his daughter but respecting her adulthood and allowing her to make choices about her own life.
At 50, he believes she has lived enough life to understand herself and make decisions independently.
