Veteran singer and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has revealed that he is actively seeking a wife for his 46-year-old son.
The entertainer disclosed in a post on X and Instagram on Friday, where he gave details about his son and the kind of partner he hopes to find for him.
According to Charly Boy, his son, who holds a master’s degree and stands 5ft 11ins tall, was previously married but divorced, and now appears to be afraid of women.
He explained that he is looking for a woman from a “good home with humble beginnings”, while stressing that only “authentic graduates” should apply.
“My people, I still dey look for wife for dis my son.
E don marry once, divorce. Now, e be like say e dey fear woman.
Biko, if you’re from a good home with humble beginnings, DM me. He is coming next month.
He is a master’s degree holder, age 46, 5ft 11ins, very humble.
If you’re not an authentic graduate don’t bother.
I need to tie him to Nigeria,” he wrote.
Charly Boy added that his son, described as “very humble”, will be returning to Nigeria next month, and he hopes to “tie him to Nigeria” through marriage.
The revelation has since stirred mixed reactions online, with some fans commending the singer for openly seeking love on behalf of his son, while others questioned why a 46-year-old needs his father to find him a wife.

maureenlanky noted: “Hello Charly, How many kids have he got? What’s the relationship with the mum and kids now? Is he still damaged if yes he needs to go heal. So he can be able to live and love again. We all might not have been through a divorce but we have gone through a phase in life and some of us are healed from it so he needs it. Bad divorce is not the end of life.”
