Veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, widely known by his stage name Charly Boy, has shared the reason behind the naming of the former ‘Charly Boy’ bus stop, which has now been changed.

During an appearance on The Morning Brief, a programme aired on Channels Television on Tuesday, the well-known activist explained that the Gbagada community began calling the area by his name in the early 1990s in recognition of his impact on the neighborhood.

He explained that his generosity had touched many lives in the area, leading residents to name the bus stop after him as a gesture of appreciation.

“Once upon a time, I used to live at the bus stop,’ Charly Boy recounts how Charly Boy Bus Stop at Gbagada was named after him in the early 90s.

“People who were at Gbagada at the time felt it was just the right thing to name a bus stop after me because I contributed to that community. The military, pensioners, okada riders and other people benefited from me.

“I gave scholarships out to people. I don’t like talking about what I have done and what I have not done but I tried for my community at the time I was there. So because of what I had done, the people thought it wise to name the bus stop after me, and that’s how it all started,” he stated.

The Bariga Local Council Development Area recently renamed the well-known Charly Boy Bus Stop in Lagos in honor of indigenous rapper and music mogul Olamide.
