Veteran Nigerian entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy or Area Fada, has celebrated the engagement of his daughter, Adaeze, to her female partner.
The 76-year-old entertainer shared a video from the engagement ceremony on Instagram late Thursday, publicly acknowledging the union and asking his followers to extend their good wishes to the couple.
In the post, Charly Boy referred to the couple as his daughter and her “Husband,” accompanying the message with an appeal to his followers to celebrate the occasion with them.
“My beautiful Princess and her Husband. “Folks, wish dem well for me,” he wrote.
Adaeze also took to Instagram to announce the engagement, posting a photograph of herself with her partner and declaring, “WE’RE ENGAGED!”
She used the hashtag #mrsandmrs alongside a message expressing her excitement about the future and her commitment to the relationship.
“Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, growth, and making beautiful memories together. I can’t wait for everything God has in store for us. Forever sounds even sweeter with you,” she wrote.
Charly Boy, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s entertainment and activism circles, has over the years attracted public attention for his unconventional style, outspoken views and willingness to discuss issues that often generate debate.
The latest announcement has similarly sparked conversations online, particularly because of the public nature of the engagement and the couple’s decision to share the milestone with their followers.
Neither Adaeze nor Charly Boy provided further details about the engagement ceremony, including when or where a wedding may take place.
