Nigerian top entertainer, Charly Boy is still recounting reasons that show really that he can be financially broke also. He reveals information today giving a little chronicle of his life and what he does for a living. He writes, "Even as only me waka come, I can be broke!
Na so, how can people just look at me and say that I have
always had an easy life. What a Big Fat misconception along with the many that
have trailed my creative life. Continue...
I know some people look at me and wonder what I do for a
living, especially those who cannot help but see me as a musician, even though
through many interviews I have openly proclaimed that am not a musician like
that, of cause I can hold a few low notes,Yes I have about six albums to my credit,
so?
I believe that a musician is someone who can either play
music or read and write music, period. My dabbling into entertainment was
basically to express my arty tendencies not because I figured I was going to be
playing music as a career or that it would be my bread and butter. I wanted to
be on a platform that would catapult me into mega fame, I was sick and tired of
living under anyone's shadow. No be today I start to dream and the
entertainment industry offered me a license to run gaga with my "out of
the box" creative concepts and my "weird" life style.
Am a public relation man. That's my bread and butter. I run
a public relation outfit called New Wave Production Ltd.
Here we customise design concepts for cooperate bodies,
government agencies, ministries, state governments, and individuals who can
afford my bill. You can be sure with my pedigree, I don't come cheap. A lot of
my fans and readers will be amazed by the names of my clientele. Like it or
not, I am an ideas person, I guess a lot have also forgotten I studied mass
communication, please not in UI, Nsuka, or Ekpoma University. I went to the
best schools in the world in America (Emerson University), and even had a sting
in Harvard University. The fame I made through the Charlyboy Brand tremendously
helped in my PR jobs, thank God for that. Yes, I won't lie that I have seen
crazy money or have made crazy money, but it was all through my ingenuity,
focus and hard work. And Yes hrdwork! But like they say, to him much is given,
much is expected. However, right now as I write this, I'm so bloody broke, it's
a sin. I have had some windfalls in my successful career as PR person, but
against my obligations, responsibilities, my community works and my advocacy, I
am broke most of the time. Yesoooo, I'm not ashamed to say I'm broke, I have
always been true to myself. Yes brokage can happen to the very best of us,
after all I'm not in government where I steal money, I am not pensionable, I
don't work in any establishment where I get estacode and awoof money, I sweat
and work off my ass for every penny that comes my way. So chill, e no easy my
guy. Odiofele?
Being broke is not a sin, and it is definitely not for
anyone to feel sorry for themselves either. Being broke simply means that you
are finding it a bit difficult to live up to certain responsibilities and
obligation. My brokage is not that of a common man's brokage who cannot eat
ooh! Abegiee my responsibilities pass that of the common man. Dangotes brokeage
can never be like mine, because if I was to inherit his problems, I will just
die. So everyone's brokage is according to his size.
Long story short, these are very hard times, both in the
world and in our country. Let go of the assumption that the world is against
you, or that you were born with a gray cloud over your head. Understand that
the past does not equal the future. Just because you've experienced pain or
disappointment in the past does not mean that what starts badly will end badly.
Do not let a bad start turn into a self fulfilling prophecy for a bad ending.
If things are bad today it doesn't necessarily mean that it
will be bad forever. Life is about the good and the bad, the ups and the down.
So because I'm broke, should I go commit sucide? Should I start being nasty to
people, or putting the hating on others because I feel the grass is greener on
their lawn? In fact who will know that you are broke if you don't tell them.
Even me as charlyboy, sometimes when I say am broke, people will keep telling
me, abegi no come laugh us, as if I don't have my own pains. Whatever you do,
NEVER see yourself as a victim because you are broke. Chill my guy, everybody
dey hear am these days, na only management go help us.
