Lagos Like New York Is No Man’s Land – Charly Boy

Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy made this known during an interview on the television station, News Central TV.

 
Veteran entertainer and convener of the Our Mumu Don Do movement, Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy has supported the claim that Lagos State does not belong to any particular tribe in Nigeria.
 
He stated this during a recent interview.
 
According to him, just like New York City in the United States, Lagos is Nigeria's first capital where people of different tribes come together.
 
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.”
