Falana is wrong and it is within the authority of the LG to rename any street. No big deal.

The fact remains that it is the people who go to other people's land to call it a "No man's land" that caused this kind of decision.
You see our chest beating people are doing too much and it is affecting them both home and abroad. The abroad own is even rubbing on innocent Nigerians.
If the West of Nigeria hates the East, does it mean Ghana and South Africa hate the East too?

Fact remains that a wise man abides with the laws of a place he travels to and respect the people.

I am not igbo by the way but I do support the truth. This is not about tribe. The Bible says give to caesar what is caesar and to God eh t is God.

Even our anthem say labors of our hero's pasts shall not be invain.

Charly boy started activism when there was no money and social media fame. He did real work and was crowned for his efforts.

He might be loud and provocative but the question is what this man is saying is it the truth.

Your pastor can not stand up to the government. Your parents cannot either so here is the man that did stand up and rather to thank him. You are insulting him. Posterity will judge.













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!

Falana and his son, Falz, are your typical “I’m Yoruba but….”. They turn a blind eye when 1b0s abuse and ridicule us, they only find their voice whenever we return the favour

We are no more running a democratic country, the powers that be have hijacked the country for themselves and it’s just a shame the youths are docile and refuse to do anything to stop it.

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
Re: Falana Condemns Arbitrary Renaming Of Streets, Bus Stops In Lagos by Ironfaceman(op): 9:47pm On Jul 27, 2025
Very good keep rewriting history but do you know that the bike hanging was after a hard fought victory to legalise okada as a means of transport.

Learn to ask question because I see you're not from. That era.

For your info, I was born and grew up in that area and also worked at Gbagada at 3 different places after my WAEC (1999), including the old Mobile Filling Station managed by Baba Ṣolaja (of blessed memory) for over 8years. So don't think I don't know what I was talking about. Besides, I can indicate a lot of memors about that place.

You left the oppressive colonial relics to change the ones named after your fellow country men who laboured to make their marks in the annals of History because of ethnic bigotry?
Re: Falana Condemns Arbitrary Renaming Of Streets, Bus Stops In Lagos by Mrexcell(m): 10:31pm On Jul 27, 2025
Falana really raised very solid points here how can british colonial names be more valued than the names of prominent nigerians? This clearly shows some people who claim to be sophisticated are still living in mental slavery in this 21st century.

I know the English go too hard for you. You fit use chatgpt to simplify it.

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
Re: Falana Condemns Arbitrary Renaming Of Streets, Bus Stops In Lagos by Sheggy13(m): 10:52pm On Jul 27, 2025
Femi Falana, SAN please focus on more consequential issues than these innanities. You claim these obligations are within the purview of local governments and it's the LCDA that have done this. Why the fuss then? I'm tempted to believe it's his son, Falz who's a so-called obidient impressing on his dad, to please his Ibo friends in the industry. You guys( Falz and dad) better fix up and smell the coffee. Times have changed now.

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.

Bariga LCDA is not recognised as a local government in Nigerian constitution. The so-called LCDAs were created by Tinubu when he was a governor. They are not real local governments recognised by the constitution.

Flanagan is jobless that is it. He is not the only lawyer in Nigeria to always going so low talking about everything this was how he mislead Fubara, this was how he covered up for Bobrisky when he was jailed.

Sir respect yourself or we will disrespect you. Those names have be changed and we won't reverse it so rest or go to court we will wait for you there.
