Charly Boy Reveals Why He Left Christianity As A Mass Servant, For Buddhism

Charles Oputa, AKA Charly boy, recently got everyone talking when he showed up at the memorial service of his father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, with his own ‘throne’ and a pair of funny dressed ladies who stood behind him while the ceremony went on.

 The Maverick entertainer gave his reasons for the actions.



“First of all, I am not a church goer. I am a Buddhist, though I was born into the Catholic doctrine. And part of my reason for not going to church is the fact that I have been to a lot of churches. For the first 20 years of my life, I was a mass servant. I was an ‘altar boy’ because my father was a disciplinarian. If you don’t go to morning mass, you are bound to be in trouble. I did all that for 20 years, and that’s the kind of background I was coming from. But things have changed regarding the mode of worship in most churches. They spend more time than necessary. Why should we be praying for two to three hours non-stop? I have other things to do.”

He further said “Also, one of my legs was paining me, and that was why, if you were in church that day, you will notice I was sitting down throughout. People didn’t understand why I was sitting down. I couldn’t stand up for too long. ”
