Outspoken media personality, Charlyboy, who is popularly known as
AreaFada, has called out religious leaders in Nigeria for ‘hypnotizing’
people with miracles.
Daily Post reports that the activist lamented the level of
corruption in the country, which according to him, had become a way of
life.
He made this known on Sunday at the 13th Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Memorial lecture and symposium with the theme, “Nigeria Anti-Corruption War: Whither The Legal Profession and The Judiciary?” which held in Lagos.
He said his late father, a retired justice of the Supreme Court,
Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, will be cringing in his grave over corruption
in the nation’s judiciary.
The self-professed President of Frustrated Nigerians said, “The
masses are being corrupted by fear, my father, Justice Chukwudifu
Oputa, must be cringing in his grave because of the corruption in the
nation’s judiciary.
“Corruption has not just become our way of life in Nigeria, but has become our legal tandem.
“The Nigerian people are being looted by all sides, religious
leaders are not helping the people, they are continuously hypnotizing my
people with miracles, signs and wonders.
“I am involved in a street project titled, ‘our mumu don do;’
this is a project through which I believe the judiciary can be cleansed
of by a movement led by the masses.
“Lawyers have become contractors, judges have opened mega banks
in their homes at their villages, justice in Nigeria comes at a price.
“Not all members of the bar and bench are corrupt, not all
members of the judiciary and legal profession are bad, but current
events have ridiculed the legacy left behind by my father and other
legal icons.
“The docility of the Nigerian populace has to be addressed with
the emancipation of their minds because the humanity of Fawehinmi no
longer exists in the country,” the showbiz mogul added.
