Charlie Oputa, singer and television presenter better know as Charly Boy, is a grieving man following the passing on of Margaret Ntianu Oputa, his mother, aged 101.
The veteran singer and songwriter took to his Instagram page to break the news. He also disclosed that she passed away on Tuesday.
“I wish to announce the death of our Mother Mrs Margaret Ntianu Oputa nee Onumonu which occurred Tuesday the 8th of October, 2019,” he wrote, accompanying the post with a photo of himself and his mother.
The controversial entertainer also penned a touching poem to his lovely mum.
The poem reads: “My dearest Mother,
You couldn’t just wait for me to come back before
you sneaked away to the great beyond.
Now all I have are beautiful loving Kodak memories of our times
together.
You tried for me, for us and many of the people who
were privileged to encounter your kindness and your love.
Thank you for allowing me take care of you.
Thank you for being That Great Woman who gave birth to
The Icon, CharlyBoy.
Thank you for teaching me how to care, to love, to live a simple
and humble Life.
Thank you for constantly reminding of my pedigree and
my very Rich Heritage.
I wish you would have waited just one more day, but I guess
you didn’t want me to see you go, because as usual I would
have talked you out of it, I know we both hate goodbyes.
Greet Papa when you see him, tell him I have been holding
forth. Gallant as ever.
Love you my Darling Mother. RIP.”
In May, Charly Boy had celebrated his mother’s 101-year-old birthday on social media.
