Veteran Nigerian singer, Charles Oputa, known professionally as Charly Boy, has spoken candidly about his battle with prostate cancer.
Charly Boy took to his official Instagram page to reveal he has been battling the disease which he says has nearly claimed his life in the past 10 days.
The veteran singer shared a video of himself being wheeled out of the theater and thanked God almighty for another chance at life.
According to Charly Boy, he has fought and won many battles in his life but to be a survivor is the greatest favor God has given him.
“Today I am being discharged from the hospital. In my life, I am happy doing this video. I have fought so many battles. And I have won so many battles. But for the past ten days, I have been battling with something very huge.
“But as God would have it, he saved my life and I beat that sucker. I have been fighting my prostrate issues. It’s not a small thing. Not as you are seeing me shining. You will see videos and know I came from the jaws of death. That thing that has killed many people did not kill me.” He said.
He also thanked his family members and the Nigerian doctors who were responsible for his treatment.
“I want to thank God for sparing my life. I want to thank my cousins who gave me great support and love. You guys are the best. I want to thank my friends and well-wishers for standing by me. This is the biggest fight ever that I have had in my life.
“Above all, I want to thank the doctor who saw to it. He did a fantastic job. His name is Kingsley Ekwueme. He was the doctor who took care of me and who saw my problem. I want to thank you. You are a great guy.
“As you can see I didn’t travel to London or America. I had my treatment in Nigeria. I am back. Charly Boy no dey finish na. I am not going anywhere soon.” He added.
