The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has rubbished claims by maverick singer, Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy, that Lagos is not any man’s land.
Charly Boy had made the remark while frowning at the
renaming of a bus stop in Lagos.
The Bariga Local Council Development Area of Lagos State had
renamed a popular bus stop from his name to ‘Olamide Baddo’ after renowned
hip-hop artist, Olamide Adedeji.
Faulting the renaming of the bus stop, Charly Boy said
‘Lagos is a no man’s land,’ while likening the coastal city to New York City in
the United States.
Responding, Lere Olayinka challenged Charly Boy to contest
for the Oba of Lagos since the state is a no man’s land.
Posting on X, he wrote: “Ndi Lagos is no man’s land, when
next the seat of Oba of Lagos becomes vacant after the present Oba must have
lived long enough, go and contest for it.
“You can also contest the seats of Obas like Osolo of Isolo,
Ogiyan of Ejigbo, Olu of Mushin, etc.
“You can even become Oniru, Ojora, Olumegbon, Aromire,
Oluwa, Oloto, Olumegbon, Elegushi, Bajulaye, Ashogbon, etc.
“Sebi all these Traditional Titles are in your own language,
not Yoruba.”
