Julius Agwu ripped us off –Charly Boy

wu ripped us off –Charly Boy In this season of ‘clap-backs,’ the scathing review of comedian, Julius Agwu’s Valentine show by entertainment icon, Charly Boy, seems to have festered further, as the ‘born again’ comedian expressed that the Area Father greatly overstepped his bounds. It would be recalled that 61-year-old Charly Boy had expressed in a post after Julius Agwu’s ‘Life As I See It’ show at Transcorp Hilton on February 14, that the comedian turned the stage to a pulpit.

I studied engineering because of pride and the society. What I have always loved to do is what I am doing right
