Veteran entertainer and convener of the Our Mumu Don Do movement, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has backed the notion that Lagos State does not belong to any particular tribe in Nigeria.
Aligning with the popular phrase that “Lagos is a no man’s
land”, Charly Boy likened the coastal city to New York City in the United
States.
Charly Boy, who had expressed displeasure over the recent
renaming of a popular bus stop from his name to Olamide Baddo, named after
renowned hip-hop artist Olamide Adedeji by the Bariga Local Council Development
Area, LCDA, in Lagos State, made this known during an interview on the
television station, News Central TV.
He said, “This is our first capital, so it has people from
different ethnic groups who make Lagos really bubble. If you are looking at it
from that perspective, yes it feels like America, the melting pot of lots of
immigrant people and look at how Donald Trump is messing the whole thing up,
everything up.
“From that perspective, in terms of people coming together,
it is really a no man’s land, it’s like New York. Lagos is like New York of
Nigeria.”
Charly Boy, who is known as Area Fada, criticised the Lagos
State Government for “being jittery” and “acting out tribal politics.”
