Why I sleep in coffin – Charly Boy

Charlse Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, recently posted another controversial picture of him relaxing on a coffin.
Oputa had intentionally captioned one of the pictures: ‘Charly Boy poses dead inside the coffin.’
Oputa revealed the motive behind the pictures he posted, saying it was ideally to preach about cherishing life.
When probed further on his decision to sleep in the casket,Oputa said: “Point of correction: I do not sleep in a casket.
“I sleep on my bed and it’s big and comfortable.
“I only lay in my casket when I do my meditation because it helps me to be focused.
“It tells me more about the imminence of death.
“My casket is a reminder.
“It wakes me up from slumber.
“It tells me: guy you have got a little or no time left, wake up, be creative and work.”
Oputa added: “Of course, when I read some of the comments of my people, I know some of us are ill-informed about quite a number of things.
“It’s more of what the casket represents that shocks my people and they start reading meanings into it, depending on the level of understanding.”
