Charly Boy was recently propelled into the digital spotlight after news appeared that a bus stop named in his honor had been revoked by a traditional ruler in Lagos. The renowned Nigerian entertainer, Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, took to his social media platform to strongly condemn the behavior, calling it both stupid and insulting.

Charly Boy’s recent vocal criticisms of both the Oba of Benin and the Lagos State government were the spark for this upheaval. Charly Boy, known for his staunch support for the Labour Party and its leader, Peter Obi, has emerged as a key figure in the opposition movement since the last election.

During a recent visit to Lagos, Charly Boy took a critical stance regarding the true owners of the city, specifically questioning the Oba of Benin’s claim that his forefathers were the founders of the state. This provoked a determined response from Oba Abeeb Faronbi of Gbagada, who ordered that Charly Boy’s name be removed from the bus stop that had been ceremoniously renamed in his honor. According to rumors, the bus station has been renamed once again.

Despite his seeming disinterest in the change, Charly Boy stressed that he had not actively sought the accolade when the bus stop was first named after him. Instead, he underlined that the honor reflected his community initiatives through CBshow and Coded Foundation.

The self-proclaimed “Area Fada” revealed that the bus stop’s dedication recognized the great influence he had made in the region, stressing his empowerment measures that helped over 4,000 okada riders throughout the foundation’s previous outreach activities. Charly Boy boasted about being Chairman of the Okada Riders Association of Nigeria, a testament to his significant achievements and influence in the community.
