The Lagos government’s decision to rename the well-known Charly Boy Bus Stop in Bariga to Olamide Baddo Bus Stop in honor of rapper and Bariga native Olamide Adedeji has prompted a response from veteran musician Charles Oputa, better known by his stage name Charly Boy.
In a Saturday chat, Charly Boy responded to the news with the simple statement, “Na dem sabi.”

The announcement was made public on Friday during the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) local project commissioning.
