Nigerian singer, songwriter, TV show host and actor, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has admitted that being married to the same woman for almost five decades can become boring.
He made this known recently while appearing as a guest on Yanga 89.9FM, where he discussed his 48-year marriage to his wife, Diane Oputa, aka Lady D.
According to the 76-year-old singer, being with one person can feel repetitive and emotionally routine.
The ‘Ninja Bike’ crooner further likened being married to the same woman for 48 years to eating Egusi soup for years.
“I have been married to one woman for 48 years. It is very boring. Imagine eating the same Egusi for years; it’s boring now,” Charly Boy said.

He went on to argue that familiarity over time can reduce excitement in relationships.
The veteran singer, however, noted that the devil one knows is better than the angel one doesn’t know, highlighting that in relationships, commitment comes with routine, challenges, and moments of boredom.
Charly Boy added that every marriage, including his, requires constant effort and management to sustain.
He also disclosed that he and his wife avoid involving third parties in their disagreements, noting that external opinions rarely help resolve marital issues.
