'Prayer request for my father Justice CA Oputa' - Charly Boy


Written by Charles Oputa
Ever since I can remember, I have always admired my parents. Even in their old age, I still see them holding hands every day. As a young lad in the early 50s, I saw dad and mum dance a lot, as if they were rehearsing for a dance competition. They argued a lot and laughed a lot, I just couldn't tell anymore when they were quarrelling or playing. There was a lot of love in my family, for a long time, my folks were like two teenagers in love, there was so much kissing between them that I came to accept that as a show of love and wanted to kiss every girl I fancied. They loved to entertain, so we continuously had guest come over. I grew up believing that every day was some ‘kinda’ celebration. Some of the things that molded me were not only my father’s regimental training and how he was always quick with the cane, but his love for my mum also had a great impart on me. This is the setting, the background of love I am coming from, my pedigree, my rich heritage. It is my pride.

The meeting held in Port Harcourt on February 13, 2014 and Solomon’s estranged Father in law told him without mincing words that his daughter was no longer interested in staying married to him and thus they wanted to use the opportunity to return the dowry.
Solomon who had thought he was going for some re-conciliatory meeting, happily collected and pocketed his money.
Confirming the news, Solomon in an exclusive interview said “yes it is a fact…”
When asked how he felt on receiving the refund, he said:
“I’m a loving and very kind individual and had great dreams of having a family and expending my love on same so it’s not a sweet story to tell when you lose a family and a loving one at that. It hurts but am I miserable? The answer is NO! No! No!!”
When asked about the welfare of his daughter, he said “ I don’t wanna talk about an innocent child…”
On the bride price “I’m not to publicly declare my ex wife’s bride price…the value you give for a bride price is what you are given back.”

Now Eto'o's former lover, Anna Barranca, who is 43years old and has an 11year old daughter, Annie,  with the footballer said he's not 35, but 39 going on 40.

The Italian hairdresser (pictured above with her daughter) told The Sun UK today "I think Samuel is not 35 he is more 39. Samuel was born in 1974 and so that makes him 39 now.' She claims she was informed of Eto'o's true age when they were dating by a friend who grew up with Eto'o in Cameroon.

According to his passport, Eto'o was born in 1981. #Footballagethings :-)
