Maverick actor and activist Charles Oputa popularly called Charly Boy has asked Nigerian youths to take their destiny on their against the backdrop of what is happening in France.
Youths for days have been destroying major cities of France after violence broke out from the killing of a young boy.
Sharing a video of burning of buildings and cars in French major cities on his social media pages on Saturday Charly Boy said it is up to Nigerian youths to take their destiny in their hands.
The actor has been attacked by many responders who frowned at his seeming call for civil disobedience and mayhem in the country.
Tweeting, Charly Boy wrote, “This isn’t Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan. This is France where 9% of the population has brought down entire cities!
“Karma from Africa?
“Am waiting on the exceptional Nigerian Youths to reject a system that let dem down.
Una destiny dey una hand.”

“Destruction is what you’re proposing ??? Areafada no sir.
Some businesses haven’t recovered from the mass looting and destruction that followed the hijack of the peaceful #EndSARS protest.
In scenarios like this it’s the people that still suffers, because the properties looted and destroyed are owned by private individuals and they have employees who make their livelihoods from the buainess.” Responded a twitter user, by the name Oladayo Martins.
Another responder on twitter with the name Daddy Omokhudu wrote “70 years old man calling the youths to burn down their future.
