Charley Boy calls his Marriage Blessing and Lesson to others

Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charlie Boy, yesterday Wednesday 13th January 2014, said his 37-year-old marriage had been a blessing and lesson for others to learn.
Charley Boy confirmed that he has been married for 37 years and still enjoying it his marriage as if it just started yesterday.

Oputa stated that it was difficult to find a perfect partner for marriage, “but it is always better to tolerate and endure as nobody is perfect.
“I have been married for 37 years and I must say that, though it is not easy, I am still enjoying it.


“Marriage management requires tolerance, patience and endurance because it is very difficult to find a perfect partner for marriage.

“When a married partner sees the other as a subject or subordinate, then there is bound to be misunderstanding.’’
“I come from a family with history of long life.

“My grandfather died at that age of 120 years, my father died at the age 97 last year and my mother, who is still alive, is 94 years old now.

“I don’t abuse my body anymore; I don’t do casual sex, I have quit smoking, alcohol but I do a lot of exercise.

“I am 63 years old and have nine children and 14 grandchildren,” he stressed..

“I am a spiritual person and that is what made me stay grounded as a father and a husband. Through Buddhism, I have learnt to be contented.

“Charlie Boy does not come to my house, he doesn’t live with me. It is just a character.’’

“God has given everybody something; you have to look for it. I am an advocate of allowing children to grow the way they want but with guidance so they do not lose track of what they want to be."

“I always want to do what I think it’s right and also add value to my environment,”
