Foremost Nigerian entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as CharlyBoy, has launched a campaign on prostate cancer screening across Nigeria.
Charlyboy said the campaign was to educate men about prostate cancer risks, encourage regular screening, and promote early treatment.
He said the campaign is the flagship initiative of the Charly Boy Foundation, a nonprofit organisation.
It is aimed at creating awareness about men’s health, focusing on mental well-being, diabetics and prostate health.
CharlyBoy, who recently survived prostate cancer, said his foundation is spearheading a nationwide campaign.
According to him, many men are dying in silence because they don’t talk about their prostate issues.
The septuagenarian said he has decided to use his personal experience to raise awareness about prostate health.
“We need to highlight the importance of voluntary tests for early detection and treatment of prostate cancer.
“We are in the middle of a silent epidemic as many of our men are dying in silence because they don’t talk about their health.
