While many artists spent the weekend promoting music, Teni gave fans something much more personal.

Nevertheless, he refused to end the conversation on a negative note.
Instead, Charly Boy said he believes Nigeria’s younger generation holds the key to the country’s future. According to him, meaningful change can still happen if young people remain informed, united, and actively involved.
