Information is the easiest thing to get this days. You don’t have to live there.

LegacyB:
But no Falana when it was done in Anambra. And what makes it right . Because Falana says so? Can you give any constitutional backing, or just the usual yapping?

Globad:
Wow

The legalisation of okada business is an achievement?

It's alright

LegacyB:
Falana will only excite you he cannot change a thing. Lagos has the right to name streets and Bus stops. Same was done elsewhere like Anambra. And charly boy is a Activethief not an Activist. TAN still comes to mind.

Lakowe Lakes Golf and Country Estate is in a different class of its own.

According to history, the bus stop was under Pedro 1 and 2. So the Charley Boy bus stop was named because Charley Boy hung his bike in front of the rented property he occupied and because of his popularity as at that time. So it wasn't registered as Charley Boy bus stop

Bluntemperor:
You have a point but your People don't Appreciate Other Tribes and you people are loose in your condemnation of Others with different adjectives and Name Calling!
However,much as I don't support what the govt is doing, but can we ask the Pertinent Question ❓ before you guys turn it to Tribalistic gingoist and -----What is special about Charlie Boy- who is full of Flippancy and Naked in Personality and Character, even the great Justice Oputa was Not Proud of him while alive!
Is that What the Youths and the Masses Should Be Proud Of?
Who Are the Activists - in Nigeria,today - for we know when you have been Calling Falana Names,once it's not in you people Favour!
Most Nigerian So Called Activists- Are ONLY ON POLITICAL NEWS- BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHERS LIKE:
-Lack of LIGHT 🚨 and More Darkness in Nigeria( the DISCOS and GENCO,etc)
-How Many Of them Are Confronting the Governors of their States in Many Injustices ,
For Example,
- Ogun State -PENSIONERS -have up to3,4 5,6- Years, Since Some Retired,yet- Nothing have been Said About their Gratuities and Pensions - SO SHAMEFUL INDEED, WITH MANY SUFFERING AND THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OT THEMSELVES.
-WHY SHOULD SOMEONE RETIRED AND AFTER A YEAR HIS/ HER PENSIONS ARE NOT PAID?
WAS There NO RECORD ⏺️ ,while they were Working?
-Same for Others States in Nigeria,so why can't these so called Activists take it over and Flight for the Poor or A Good Cause?
Nonsense, please make Una park somewhere!

Okwyjesus:
We are setting wrong precedent. We should be very careful bcs the ethnic tension is growing. Am surprise how political leaders condole all these.

One day it may lead to tribal clash maybe in Enugu or Onitsha or Oshogbo.

I have been waiting to see if Good people of Yoruba land have no single sane personality.. thank God someone came to the rescue.

Politicians have destroyed even the reasoning of most people. Bigotry and tribalism are two ugly monsters that many have adopted for just no gain.
Lawlessness is now the order of the day. Even the government breaks the law, forgetting that one day, the society will be fixed and they will answer to all these

Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Femi Falana, has criticised the ongoing trend of renaming streets and public spaces in Lagos State without following constitutional procedures or consulting residents, describing the actions as unlawful and undemocratic.

In a statement issued yesterday, Falana condemned recent instances, including the renaming of the popular “Charley Boy Bus Stop” to “Baddo Bus Stop” by the former chairman of Bariga Local Council Development Area, LCDA, Mr Kolade Alabi. He also cited reports of two streets being named after President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as well as industrialist Aliko Dangote’s alleged naming of streets in honour of the late Mr Herbert Wigwe and President Tinubu.

According to Falana, these actions violate the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which clearly vests the responsibility for naming and numbering streets exclusively in local government councils. He referenced a key legal precedent, Chief Obidi Ume v. Abuja Metropolitan Management Council, in which a court ruled that only the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, has the authority to assign names to streets and roads within its jurisdiction.

“The usurpation of the exclusive functions of local governments on street naming by certain individuals and Local Council Development Areas in Lagos State cannot be justified under the Nigerian Constitution,” Falana stated.

He particularly faulted the renaming of the Charley Boy Bus Stop, which he described as a landmark historically named by the Bariga and Gbagada communities.

“Charley Boy Bus Stop acquired its name sociologically due to its functionality and the positive impact which Charley Boy has historically made in the area,” Falana noted. “Renaming it without consulting the Bariga and Gbagada people smacks of authoritarianism.”

The rights lawyer also expressed concern that Lagos has left untouched many colonial-era names associated with oppression, while targeting names that honour Nigerians who have made positive contributions to society.

Falana urged the legislative arms of local governments across Lagos to take immediate steps to end arbitrary renaming of streets and to introduce transparent processes, including public hearings, to ensure community involvement in such decisions.

“Streets should not be renamed arbitrarily to please the whims and caprices of political leaders or to promote ethnic chauvinism, especially in a cosmopolitan capital city like Lagos,” he said.
