Renowned showbiz maestro, Charles Oputa, popularly known as CharlyBoy, has called on Nigerians to prioritize peace of mind above all else in 2025. In a video shared on his Instagram page, the maverick entertainer emphasized the importance of protecting mental and emotional well-being amid the nation’s economic challenges.
“Peace of mind over everything. You should make inner peace your priority this year. You see, this life no get duplicate. Na only one life we get oh,” CharlyBoy said, urging his fans to focus on maintaining their sanity.
Highlighting the burdens people carry unnecessarily, he added, “Many of us, they lose our peace because we day carry too much load when no concern us. We dey worry about wetin people go talk. We dey stress over wetin we no fit control. We dey carry all the people load on top of our head.”
The “Area Fada,” as he is fondly called, explained that chasing wealth, fame, and validation often comes at the cost of inner peace. “Look around, people dey hustle like say they never chop. Na only money matter, but they forget say, money no fit buy peace of mind. Wetin be the use of wealth if your heart no dey calm?”
CharlyBoy advised Nigerians to take deliberate steps to achieve peace of mind, including setting boundaries and avoiding toxic relationships. “Number one, set boundaries, because no be every battle you supposed fight. And no be everybody you fit please. Learn to say no to things we no align with your peace. Protect your space from toxic people wey dey drain your energy.”
He further encouraged his followers to let go of grudges, saying, “Carrying bitterness and anger is like drinking poison and expecting another person to come die. Free yourself from that weight. Forgive, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.”
Emphasizing the need for simplicity, CharlyBoy remarked, “Too much attachment to material things dey bring unnecessary pressure. Reduce your need for validation. Sometimes na that small moment, good food, laughter with friends, or a quiet walk, dey bring the deepest joy.”
The septuagenarian concluded with a powerful reminder about mental health: “Protect your peace like your life depends on it because it really does. Choose peace of mind over noise, over drama, over anything that will not add value to your life. That person wen get peace na him really enjoy life. Be simple, love deep, forgive fast, and cherish every moment of peace.”
CharlyBoy’s heartfelt message is a timely reminder for Nigerians to embrace peace and intentional living in the new year.
