Veteran Nigerian singer and songwriter, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy has said that his marriage is intact and he is not considering a divorce from his wife, Lady Dianne. He seized the moment to explain to his friends and fans that marriage is not easy and it needs to be constantly worked on.
The septuagenarian shared the advice after a tweet he posted whereby he asked his followers what their thoughts would be if he divorce his wife after 45 years of marriage.

“Because of dis my recent post. Some winche pple don begin speculate say my marriage don crash. Abegi ooooo
“I just dey talk to many pple wey think say marriage shouldn’t feel like work. Or if it feels like work, we are doing it wrong. Somehow our society has come to think of marriage as something we set and forget.
“Lie. Like anything else that is rewarding, we have to work at our marriages. And it’s OK if marriage is hard work! It can never be on auto cruise.”(sic)
