Wahala for who wan stop for Badoo bus stop only to find himself at Berger.
The funniest part of this renaming of bus stop is hiring a DJ, dancers and MC to stand at the bus stop, telling danfo conductors dropping at the bus stop that it's no longer Charley Boy bus stop but Olamide Badoo.

My Yoruba people, you guys can do better na!! Stop fighting who is not fighting you. Haba!!
If you like change the whole streets in Lagos to Yoruba names, it won't stop Igbo people from buying and building houses in Lagos.

Infact it's not Igbo people that'll be wanting to buy the houses, it's they themselves when they need money for owambe that will be begging the Igbos to come and buy

Very soon, dispatch riders will be using location sharing, else den go lost with pipu goods.

You can name your compound and change your papa name to igbo names .. give ya son igbo name too .. lagos state have done what's good for lagos

LegendHero:
Stop all this big epistle. Is Lagos still a no man’s land? Yes or no?

Don't worry it will still be by the time all your people sell all their lands and houses to them just to do owambe parties

Lifestone:
Yinmu

If you like yinmu from now till thy kingdom come, that's the honest truth. Here in my area a bus stop name Cassidy along Badagry express was renamed 15 or 20yrs ago. Till date I can't even rmbr the name they rename it, it's still called Cassidy till date

The bus stop was NEVER named Charly Boy by the government

I will give a stronger example

There is nothing like geopolitical zone in the Nigerian constitution or any law,it is just something that political parties introduced for themselves and over time many people assume it has some kind of legal or official status
Just like the word Naija

Bus stops in Lagos generally are not official names ? They are not gazetted anywhere and are usually introduced by NURTW without official records

If the name was never official and the government decides to set the records straight that is their prerogative

Many street names are often put there because the first person to build there erected a sign. If this is done without a gazette it is void

Similarly some streets are called by a particular name but have a different name on the records for whatever reason
When the time comes that may be changed without notice

Next ,

Mbadiwe Drive needs to be renamed MC Oluomo way or Bishop Ajayi Crowther Drive

Fslana should rest! Was any law broken? He should go to sleep.

Sangoamadioha1:
What does this media hugging SAN want? He says renaming Streets are under the the authority of local governments and it was Bariga LCDA that renamed it, so why the beef again

Bariga LCDA is not a local government

Please I want to ask, which Igbos are fighting with Yorubas to warrant all these unnecessary polarization of Nigeria and Lagos in particular?

Well meaning Yorubas should please speak up so that the rascals voice don't end up becoming the voice of all Yorubas.


This is absurdity in its highest form.

You guys are just fighting yourself because no Igbo man is dragging Lagos with Yorubas.


You claim Igbos said Lagos is a no man's land but I cannot remember any Igbo being an Oba or Baale or Omonile in Lagos.


Posterity will beckon, let's remember that Yorubas on their own decided to start this unnecessary ethnic rivalry for no justifiable reason.


It becomes sad that a Yoruba man is the President and instead of Yorubas to be drumming for unity and peace, they rather see Tinubu's Presidency as an opportunity to wage unnecessary ethnic wars and to subdue everybody as if we are in the 1900s, it's really shameful, I repeat, well meaning Yorubas like Falana and Sowore have done should speak up against this political madness happening in Lagos under APC/Tinubu.

They can rename anything they want , wait let them lose power and will see the clap back other Nigerians are hatching for them , these guys are worse than abacha

Eriokanmi:
With this, obi will get even more votes in 2027. Instead of tinubu to parley them as obj and Jonathan did, which saved them from the north's gang up in their era, he's busy making mistakes. That consolation votes they'd not give him in the south east and south south come 2027 cos they're hearing of what they're doing to their people in lagos. Someone whose legs are already shaking in the north, is busy playing politics of hate down south. The other day, edo state is saying obi must not visit his state. He's forgotten that edo are fully obidients.

They should continue to make mistakes. It will be to our advantage.

Obi will get more vote and become the president of Lagos ipubs Abi?? Edo are fully obidient?? Is this what they are deceiving you with in your hamlet at anambra? Ask the beating obedient chop during the gubernatorial election he pass thief own!

Slytiger:
Dem plenty die.

It's possible "Dem plenty die" but who're these people? Is there any notable individual who ever said "Lagos is a no man's Land"?I can bet you my last dime that nobody can ever point at a recognisable Igbo making such statements!Never!!

But I believe one or two faceless mischief makers on social media or on the streets of Lagos may have made statements sounding like that.In any case that's not even how they meant it; they meant to state that Lagos being the Federal Capital Territory in the past has become the cosmopolitan city for all Nigerians.

But since the desperate APCists are bent on do-or-die politics in order to keep ruling Lagos by all means,they twisted,distorted and latched onto this disinformation to manipulate and divide voters along ethnic and rigious lines.

If not,point out which recognisable Igbo said that.

Slytiger:
Igbos can only gaslight weak people.

There are CLEARLY 3 Yoruba names out of the 8 old street names that were renamed in that your attached screenshot, and 3 names of Ibo origin. It's highly IRRESPONSIBLE that some bigots are trying to generate propaganda out of this by giving the impression that all the names changed in Ajeromi-Ifelodun LCDA are Ibo names. Daddy Showkey's name is among the newly renamed streets and he's of the Isoko ethnic group from Delta State. It was formerly known as George Street, now Daddy Showkey Street.

There are far more important things to do with time BUT these misguided younger ones and a few of there elders from the South East of Nigeria deliberately fabricate disinformation to manipulate their people to hate others for political gains.

Just last year in 2024, a gang of kidnappers kidnapped for ransom a Yoruba man who is an investor in agribusiness right in Ijebu Igbo and later killed him and buried him in a shallow grave. The Police investigators later arrested them all up to 7 of them and the videos are still on the Channels Television YouTube channel alongside publications in the print media online. Those who carried out the kidnappings were all Ibos. This is the same thing they have been doing in Yorubaland (Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike aka Evans and his gang of armed robbers and kidnappers from Anambra) and other gangs for years now which they have exported to Ghana as well which has triggered the anger and massive protests from Ghanaians just yesterday based on the arrests made by the Ghana Police due to the massive crimes they commit for over 15 years now alongside the impostor illegally claiming to be an Eze Ibo of Ghana when he is NOT from a royal family in his village.

Instead of being sober over these crimes commited by their kinsmen especially from Anambra State based on crime statistics from the NIA and more in Nigeria, Ghana and several countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Thailand, India, Ethiopia, Seychelles, Brazil, Singapore, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Sierra Leone, etc, while tarnishing the image of other innocent Nigerians from the over 300 different ethnic groups, some of the South Easterners are busy manipulating people's emotions and puffing over some inconsequential renaming of street names and landmarks in Lagos State due to bigotry and low self-esteem issues.

DmonSlayer10:
Which "Idiotic people"? How dare you?

Anyway Can you name one single person who actually said "Lagos is no man's Land" Can you point at one single non-Lagosian who ever made that exact comment.

You'll learn the power of divisive and manipulative politics....using propaganda and you'll learn it the hard way!

Mention the person(not the faceless ones like you on the social media oo)

If you can't point at one single person then....

...then...

It was actually said in the national assembly by one prominent Igbo politician and he rightly did..

Then the yorubas advocated for a special funds to be allocated to Lagos alone as a special city of economic influence in Nigeria..

It was highly debated.. among the debate , this politician stoop up to agree, but on one condition...
.that Lagos won't get double allocation

1. As a south western state

2. Since the entire resources of the nation will be specifically sent to Lagos for special development not them place..

To then everyone who lives there will have access. To the resources sent to the land.. in terms of leadership, jobs, govt grant etc...

And in doing so it should be declared a "a no Man's land" otherwise, he rejects the idea and lacks should be owned and managed by Yoruba tribe with no special resources allocation

Ironfaceman:
Thank you so much sir. You contribution to this topic is well regarded.

Charly boy was a rugged activist who protested against the likes of Abacha and was jailed.

Also his nick name came from okada riders who he fought hard to have okada business legalised.
You may not like the messenger but appreciate the message.

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!

Please fact-check me: In 2018, Anambra changed the names of several streets to reflect their local heritage. One such street was Abakaliki Street, which was renamed Club Street.

The renaming of that street caused much disaffection within the Ebonyi State Government. The Ebonyi State House of Assembly passed a resolution against the action by the Anambra State Government, while the then Governor of Ebonyi State, now the Minister of Works, protested the renaming.

But guess what? Not a single one of the prominent public individuals now protesting the renaming of streets and bus stops in Lagos lent their voices in support of the people of Ebonyi when the Anambra State Government took that action.

Peter Obi was silent. Celebrities did not condemn the action. Social activists did not agitate, and pro democracy activists did not give their pros and cons.

So, the glaring question is this: Why is Anambra State allowed to rename streets and bus stops to names that reflect their cultural and political heritage, but Lagos cannot? Why are the Lagos State Government and its Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas being pilloried and labelled by those who were loudly quiet when Anambra State took the same action seven years ago?

I thought that what was sauce for Greece, is also sauce for Uganda?

Please fact-check me: In 2017, the then Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, renamed a street after then President Muhammadu Buhari, and the act almost set off a riot. The indigenes refused to accept the renaming of a local street after a non-indigene. Things got to a head, and the next day, the Imo State Government was forced to deny the renaming of the street after Buhari to prevent a breakdown of law and order.

Why is there an outcry when Lagos does it, but none when Anambra does the same? Why are the people of Imo allowed to be outraged when a local street is named after a non-indigene, but Lagos is intolerant and bigoted when they take steps to preserve their culture and traditions?

Again, please fact-check me: Peter Obi, as Anambra Governor, threatened to deport homeless Nigerians not of Anambra origin from his state. Can you imagine that!

Did any of these people now attacking Lagos ever condemn that action by Obi? The answer is a capital no!

I have repeatedly said that Nigerians have short memories, and that is why it is easy to gaslight our people.

If Nigerians were less emotional and more sentient, given to facts, many of the issues that we agitate over would not even arise.

LegendHero:
Maybe someone need to tell Falana that the Local government authorized the renaming of the bus stop to Baddo.

It seems Falana just like to talk these days, baba no dey even check whether Wetin e dey talk make sense or not.

Obviously most of you don't know the difference between Local govt area and local council in Lagos.

One Nigeria inded! Let them rename all the streets. A country where tribal mediocrity is encouraged.

Thunder fire falana. How many streets you see in the east named after a yoruba man or woman.

Let them continue to buy and build because they are guilible ...at last the owner of the land will come for it....any house you have outside your indigenous catchment area is temporal and not yours.

This Man needs his head examined.


Excessively garrulous without making sense.

Falana. The LCDA and LG have the rights to rename streets, bus stop e.t.c
If you dont like it, you can go to court.
