Why all eyes are focused on the US elections – Charly Boy
Nigerian musician and activist Charly Boy has sparked a conversation on social media about the ongoing US elections, describing them as a global “judgment day.”
In a video shared on his Instagram on the evening of November 5, 2024, Charly Boy emphasized the significance of the elections, not only for the United States but for the entire world.
“Good day everybody, E don happen. In the next few hours or thereabout, it’d be judgement day for America,” Charly Boy began, stressing the importance of the decision facing American voters. “The choice facing America is monumental globally, and all eyes are focused on America, the most important election of all time,” he added.
The activist, known for his candid opinions, went on to express his belief that global leadership has reached a low point and the world is looking to the U.S. to see whether its style of democracy can still thrive. “I feel that leadership globally has fallen to an all-time low, so the rest of the world looks up to America to see if their style of democracy is still sustainable,” he said.
Charly Boy also addressed the backlash he has received from some fans regarding his posts on American politics, particularly his skepticism about former President Donald Trump’s influence. “From my recent posts on my various platforms, it is evident that I am a dog in this fight; however, in my comment section, it is filled with people who are angered by my personal opinion, and I ask, ‘why?'” he said, challenging those who criticized him.

He further explained that his connection to the U.S. is deeply personal, with his wife and children living there, which would make them directly affected by the outcome of the election. “People accuse me of being blatantly ignorant of American politics. Oh yeah? I just dey laugh. They feel that Donald Trump is the one to save the world and I just can’t wrap my head around it. Which one is my own? Aside from the fact that my wife and children are all American citizens living over there, I’m the only person in my family who refused to have a second citizenship.”
In closing, Charly Boy reiterated the significance of America as a beacon of hope for people around the world, concluding, “America has become a country where dreams come true and where people from all walks of life have planted the flags of hope for a better life.”
