Charly Boy in a chat with Punch has
answered the big question everyone has been asking about entertainers
delving into politics all of a sudden. Mr Charly said, most of them are
doing so because they are afraid of their future and only looking for a
way of securing it. Hear him;
“We are
living in very hard times and however they think they can augment their
source of livelihood; I understand some of these issues because our
environment has become crazy and unpredictable whereby they do not know
what is going to happen tomorrow. Continue below..
“I know to
some people, they think politics is the way. Personally, I would never
do that; I would never jump into something I know nothing about. We
Nigerians are like ‘group-souls,’ meaning we just rush into what we see
everybody going into.
“Whether we
can go through that route or not is irrelevant; but because everybody is
going through it, we just want to be a part of it. It is also known as
the ‘bandwagon syndrome.’
“That is not
my template of doing things, anybody that knows me know that I don’t
venture into things others are doing. I don’t follow the bandwagon and
that is why I do not see myself venturing into politics and I have a
little disrespect for politicians. I know that most of them are bad and
they are people who have not nurtured themselves as leaders and are
involved in politics because of the money they want to steal.
“That is not
a good thing, but I cannot stop somebody who is frightened of his/her
tomorrow to venture in the same path. I pray and hope that they can make
it because there is nowhere that is easy.”
