Hahaha, all this development is just making me laugh. I'm an Igbo guy born and raised in Lagos and still reside in Lagos. The truth is, all what is going on now with this street renaming is just gonna deeping the hatred between Igbos and Yorubas. I'm not against Yorubas making their place their identity but they're ways to go about that won't cause rancour.
Like for example I am an Igbo guy but I have more Yoruba friends than any other tribes. I speak Yoruba more than my own language.
I fought severally with one of my late uncle bcus I am not supporting him on the issue of Biafra. And till today and forever I still stand my ground that we don't need Biafra. But what Yorubas are doing now will make Igbos who has a stand like me but doesn't have strong mind like me to have a rethink and start wanting the Biafra.
Let's tell ourselves the truth here, Yorubas or Lagosians are benefitting from Igbos here in Lagos more than any other tribes.
Go to Abule Ado, Satellite, Ilufe and all of the area surrounding Alaba market and see the development Igbos has brought there with beautiful houses and mansions.
I grew up in Ojo, go to Olojo drive from Volks to Ajangbadi and see how Igbo guys has turn around that area.
Is it Ajao Estate, Okota, Festac and other places too numerous to mention that Igbos has developed.
My own is I keep praying everyday for Lagos to remain peaceful and not disintegrate. Cus if Yorubas succeed in chasing Igbos away we all including me "cus I'm not going anywhere" will feel it except some Yorubas who will not say the truth bcus of pride.
.
Now back to the renaming of streets and bus stops. Some names of streets and bus stops will never change in the minds of passengers and conductors till eternity.
Example I know of is Cassidy bus stop in Okoko area of Ojo local govt. 15 or 20yrs ago it was renamed to a local name I can't rmbr. But till date it's still call Cassidy bus stop.
Same with Oregun bus stop that was renamed Kudirat Abiola way. Till date Conductor no know Kudirat o, na Oregun bus stop Dem go call am.
And to Charly boy bus stop that has been there for over 30yrs and you want all of sudden for conductors not to call it that again. Lai lai, till majority of us here leave this world. I can bet my balls that, that name will never change from the minds of Passengers and conductors. And to think they rename it to "Baddo" respect to Olamide my guy. That name doesn't sound right in a civil and well educated society like Lagos. That Baddo is for entertainment purpose. Can any of you here call yourself Baddo or Baddest in a corporate or where sane people are gathered.
We traveled abroad and claimed racist and victimized, but we're all worst of it here in Nigeria both Igbos and Yorubas.
Well I have overshoot my time, you all the unembittered ones should stay and remain blessed while we wish Nigeria to be great again if Nigeria was ever great before.

Don't mind them. Always looking for enemies in the wrong places. They don't focus on the thieves ruining their lives from east to west to north and south

How's this Tinubu problem??

Is he the one who renamed it??

Is he the governor or local government chairman of bariga??

Rindo69:
Do you have one named after you? At least, you should be rewarded for your support or are you one of the non relevant supporters sitting on your bare mattress thinking where your next meal will come from! Sha try to make a name for yourself so they can name one street after you... check the list, youd see footballers, entertainers, etc but you won't see any named after an online otimkpu

😂😂😂pain is that you? You think I’m an economic migrant from a deprived and barren region like yourself? The popular adekunle at Herbert Macauley in ebute metta is name after my ancestor and so many street around that axis too many to mention😂😂😂proudly lagos Abi you Dey whine😂😂😂bikonu cry louder

"Charly Boy Bus Stop ❌- Baddo Bus Stop ✅"


What level of insane jealousy is this? Very insecure and childish people.

Who is Olamide where Charly Boy is?. Olamide sef should reject the change.

There are streets named after Nigerians and Africans in Europe for Christ's sake.

I have seen Ken Saro Wiwa street in Amsterdam. Shame on you people.

the renaming is a welcome development, at least Ifeanyi street is out and replaced by olamide street... As for Charlie boy, Obi will construct a new road in Alambala and name it Charles Nnamumudi Oputai...

"Charly Boy Bus Stop ❌- Baddo Bus Stop ✅"


It's also a complete waste of time because conductors and Agberos will always shout " CHARLY BOY" when they approach the bus stop.

AK481:
Charley boy bustop wey dem don change like 50 times e no gree change .

No call am charly boy make keke carry you go Azerbaijan

Best post here.

They think you can force change by mere announcement.

Olamide should reject it if he has any self respect.

The governor should ban these LG chairmen from all these nonsense. It's just too petty. They should face real and tangible development.

Imagine naming a street after Bukayo Saka of Arsenal and England. WTF.

Stinky politics .. why not go to Alaba Rago where this tribe mess up everywhere. We play politics too much politics of tribe. uote author=Shikini post=136229111]Charlie Boy bus stop is their main target

Oga dey claim ancestor. So since adekunle your ancestors, nobody else has done anything notable...and then there is you, who decided to be an otimkpu. Lets pray you raise better kids that can make a name for themselves ohhh...make them no dey claim ancestors like their papa.

Nobody cares.. take your unity begging elsewhere.
Yorubaland most especially Lagos (ilu Eko) belongs to Yorubas 100% and we will take charge of our own internal affairs going forward.

Lagos was a former capital and still remains Nigeria's commercial capital till date. There are several places named after people of Yoruba ethnic group in Abuja, I do hope you all will not feel bad when the real owners of Abuja starts championing a name change to reflect their identity?

Goodvibes007:
Why would that degenerate man have a bus stop named after him? Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Have you cared to Google what he did for them? Way back, streets were named after good philanthropic gestures from individuals. Now, streets are named for vibes. What have these people listed done for the masses in that locality?

SuperEagles:
This LCDA chairman is the one that built a new school, fire station equipped with fire figting trucks amobgs others all what your governor Alex Otti as not accompkished n will never accomplish deal with that first n shut it.

Why are u explaining? I already hailed and congratulated him and his Yoruba community for jobs well done, so why are u still feeling unhappy young man?


Is your conscience pricking you?

Why are Ibos here gnashing teeth because of a name change that happened thousands of kilometers away😂
You think we give a f about you in the first place ? No
The local government chairman should be flogged for waiting this long before erasing the name of that old degenerate . The criminal who refused to pay his rent to an elderly woman for long until he was forcefully ejected . Very terrible human through and through

The chairman should go ahead and build a proper signage at that bus stop bearing the name of the great Baddo - the true and great son of the soil

He should take it up a notch and inform Tafa Sego that this change must be be effected 😂😂
Eko o ni baje o

when una say Lagos is no Man's land

In Enugu, there is an ADELABU street in Uwani that has been thee since before Christ.

No one even pays attention to it.

Because the LG chairmen in Enugu are above petty gestures.

Hehehehehehe..... consolatory epistle.

PaChukwudi44:
Nothing will change. Oregun road renamed kudirat Abiola road almost 30years ago is still called Oregun road by most people. Bus conductors will continue to call it Charly boy bus stop.it will also not remove a kobo from his account

Trump also renamed Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America, the Europeans are pushing out immigrants, Israel is reclaiming Gaza, Russia wants to reclaim Ukraine, Igbo states are reclaiming forests from herdsmen etc. The whole world is becoming more conservative like that.

Nobody can push out we Igbos. The Northerners did everything against us since independence but everything remains the same as before.

Ttalk:
Now Lagos state is beginning to take control of its affairs.

The next is to rename some market that their name has no link to the people of Lagos state.

It is high time Alaba market is changed to reflect the history of the people of Ojo. There nothing in Yoruba and Awori dialect that bears Alaba.

Lol ...most of you don't know Alaba is yourba just that the igbos decide to pronounce it there own way.

Alaba is the child born after twin in youruba.

😂😂😂indeed you must really be pained.pls what street as been named after you or your ancestor in your village not to talk of Lagos? And bikonu is Lagos in ibo land? Or why does it seem that any step taken by the indigenous people of Lagos get you economic migrants angry and bitter😂😂😂

Lagos is a state like every other state in Nigeria and they have the constitutional right to do whatever they wish and if that is a problem for you clowns, by all means you go relocate back home but you can continue crying on my mention cos as he Dey pain dem, he Dey sweet us😂😂😂

You're not seeing the big picture which you should
be preparing for if you did.

The Yorubas have simply woken up after decades of slumber. They were the only one, of the four major ethnic group of Nigeria, practicing 'One Nigeria' fully in it's true essence in their land via letting Nigerians from outside the SW have freedom of business opportunities, land purchases, religious worship, association, public administration etc, etc.

It is in the SW alone that the full gamut of Nigeria's federal unity is respected with action and not mere words and rhetoric alone.

Now, the Yorubas have noted they have been victims of a monumental scam from others who take advantage of the sincerity of Yoruba to be demanding in the SW, with a sense of entitlement, what they can never offer Yorubas in their region.

All others put themselves first, second and even last openly and unapologetically in their region.

Yorubas now appreciate the folly that will be ruinous to our generations unborn, in a Nigeria becoming more hateful divided by the day, if we carry on with the 'laissez faire' attitude of 'over-sharing' everything in our land with others who are just covetous expansionist who will never grant us same gracious generosity in their region.

Predictor3:
Is alaba Hausa or ibo?

Aba in Yoruba means living space in a village. Alaba should mean owner of Aba. That name probably came from the time that place was still a village. Don't let us get ahead of ourselves because of these tribal things

God bless you Omo Iya.

Your brain no go wash.

First, they think about Charley Boy.
secondly, they came up with the idea.

I don’t hate or like Charley Boy but this is a total rubbish.

What happened to the names of the past public school principals of those communities., teachers and health workers. Nonsense.

flokii:
We warned them severally to face their home region and develop the place, they called us names.
Now that Yorubas have finally decided to "ronu", let's see how they will boast about buying up lands in South West or call Lagos no man's land.
Most Yorubas I know (myself inclusive) don't make such annoying assertions about Lagos, even though it's our home, in our home region, we still recognize the makeup of the State. It's time for Yorubas from all over to protect all Yoruba territories including Lagos State to avoid stories that touch later.

Nnamdi Azikiwe tried to separate Lagos from South West but failed, Ojukwu tried same thing from the letter he wrote to Victor Banjo describing Lagos as a colony that will be under Igbo administration once they invade South West region.
Most people don't know that the greed of Ojukwu to annex lands in South West was what fueled the civil war and got Yorubas angry, they are towing same path today thinking Yorubas can't send them pack.ing.

Lagos was already a separate colony since 1861. Nothing to do with Azikiwe and Ojukwu. Lagos was never made a part of the Western region by the British.

It will surely revert to the same old status in the very near future. Lagos will become an FCT just like Abuja. Abuja will be political capital and Lagos will be economic capital with an appointed minister.

You think Dangote, Rabiu, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu etc are making all these investments in Lagos only to put it under the control of an Igboho or whatever his name is. Is the Mayor of London an English man?. It's a matter of time.

And you plan to "reclaim Lagos" by naming a street after Bukayo Saka of Arsenal. Please go and advice your local govt. chairman. As long as Nigeria remains an indivisible, one nation, Yoruba's cannot do anything about Lagos. The worst you can do is to piss off the rest of Nigerians.

Don't forget that Tinubu and APC have just 2 years remaining in office. Why don't you people go and rename 'Ribadu Road' and Ozumba Mbadiwe on the island. Stop the pettiness.

You are just there living your life,being nice to all,not suspicious of anything,suddenly a group awakes your thinking by insinuating that,your kindness is stupid and intact this your house is no man's land.It is time to show everyone that the land belongs to you by doing what owners do...own.

Dey play!
Sometimes diplomacy is seen as cowardice, most especially to our blodas across d niger. If you never tear eye for them den go think say you dey fear them not knowing say their host just dey practice their inherent hospitality nature.

My ppl dey talk say na the person wey ask you "wetin you fit do sef" you dey show workings to.
