Charly Boy Explains Why He Sleeps In Coffin

Nigerian eccentric and controversial entertainer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, recently revealed why he sometimes sleeps in a casket.  Reacting to fans, criticisms, he wrote:-
“Point of correction, I do not sleep in a casket, I sleep on my bed, it’s big and comfy. I only lay in my ‘Casket’ when I do my meditation  because it helps me to be focused, it tells me more about the imminence of death, my casket is a reminder.  It wakes me up from slumber, it tells me guy, you have got little or no time left, wake up, be creative and work”.
He said, “of course, when I read some of the comments of my people, I know a good number of us are ill-informed about quite a number of things. I think, it is more of what the casket represents that shocks my people and they start reading meanings into it, depending on their level of understanding. But one question is: what if the casket was used to make a sofa chair? Maybe, all the hullabaloo about me sitting on a chair wouldn’t have been there in the first place, so when people vocalize their disapproval of my message via the image of a casket, I understand that, they do that from a position of fear, fear of what the casket represents-Death”.
“So whatever people fear, they antagonise, But the fact that I have reminded myself and even you about death does not really change a thing. It won’t draw your death near and it won’t even shift it away.  All it does is simply a reminder, to tread carefully”, he said.
