Charles Oputa, the activist popularly known as Charly Boy, recently visited the bus stop in Bariga LCDA which was renamed after rapper Olamide ‘Baddo’ Adedeji after previously named in his honour.
The change was part of a renaming initiative by Kolade David, the immediate past chairman of Bariga LCDA, aimed at celebrating Nigerian icons, including music legends King Sunny Ade, 9ice, Tony Tetuila, and Arsenal footballer Bukayo Saka.
In a video shared on his Instagram, Charly Boy visited the now-dubbed ‘Olamide Baddo Bus Stop,’ engaging with a lively crowd who insisted the location would always be associated with him.
Amid cheers, some declared, “We no go gree! The name will still remain there!”
“My people, U can already guess where your Area Fada dey? Olamide Baddo Bus Stop!” Charly Boy wrote in the caption.
“Yes o, na the same bus stop wey una sabi since… now na Baddo get am. Street na street, e no get age limit, abi?
“I just dey inside car dey laugh yeye people wey wan show Fada power.
“The Emperor of Nigeria go soon rename everywhere. Next thing, dem go name airport after one DJ, then call National Assembly ‘Comedy Central.
“Yeye dey smell. For me? I still go dey fresh, I still dey cruise, and I still no send anybody wey no like am. Life too short to dey vex for bus stop name change, when I never chop. Dia Fathers.”

Charly Boy earlier claimed authorities were intimidated by his decades-long resistance against oppression.
The singer also explained that the bus stop was originally named after him in the early 1990s in recognition of his contributions to the Gbagada community, where he once lived.
