youth. He has been called many names but "Area Fada" stands out amongst
the name he has been called. His real names is Charles Oputa, the son on
one of the incorruptible judge Nigeria has ever produced - Oputa Panel
himself.

been very vocal in his fight against corruption, oppression, division
and the forces that seek to undermine democracy. The controversial star

Dr. Alban.
His most popular album "1990", was a reference to

power to civilians in that year, although civilian rule did not start
until 1999).

political nature and caused national controversy, and a number of radio
stations refused to play the title track. Despite this, 1990 was one of
Nigeria's best-selling albums of 1988, and Charly Boy was credited with
using his music to stand up to his government.
