I was a rascal when I was young. And very early, I knew exactly what I wanted and always went for it.

I’m sure in a very humorous way I must have given my parent hell. And I felt, it’s now time to give them all the love they gave me while I was growing.

For about eight years, I couldn’t find food on my table. I lived off bread and groundnut. I sold pepper soup and beer in the village just to survive.

I am from a good background but I wanted to carve my own niche because I didn’t want to live under anybody’s shadow. That was what drove me to the village from America.

Men, that’s some wonderful transition.

What can inspire you in the village? Who can inspire you there?

Nobody. It wasn’t until Tina Onwudiwe,may God forever bless her soul, came to the village and dragged me to Lagos. Otherwise Charly Boy wouldn’t have been what you know today.
