Former President Olusegun Obasanjo will serve as the special guest at the official launch of 999, the newly released memoir by veteran entertainer, television personality and social activist Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy.
The event is slated for Friday, July 31, 2026, and is expected to bring together prominent figures from politics, entertainment, literature and civil society to celebrate the publication.
Through 999, Charly Boy is set to chronicle his remarkable journey, reflecting on the experiences, controversies and defining moments that have shaped his life and decades-long career as one of Nigeria's most unconventional public figures.
The memoir also serves as a tribute to his late father, the respected jurist Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, whose influence played a significant role in shaping his values and outlook on life.
Obasanjo's participation in the unveiling highlights the importance of the publication, which is already attracting attention for its promise to offer readers a candid account of Charly Boy's personal life, activism and contributions to Nigeria's cultural landscape.
With anticipation building ahead of the launch, 999 is expected to resonate with readers interested in the life of one of Nigeria's most outspoken entertainers and the legacy of the Oputa family.
