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

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Veteran Nigerian singer and entertainer, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy and Area Fada, has joined the argument that Lagos State does not belong to any particular tribe in the country.

Joining his voice 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.

The entertainer, who had earlier expressed displeasure concerning the recent renaming of a popular bus stop from his name to Olamide Baddo, a popular Nigerian hip-hop artist, Olamide Adedeji, by the Bariga Local Council Development Area, LCDA, in Lagos State, stated this when he appeared on News Central TV on Monday.

He said: “This is our first capital, so it has people from different ethnic groups who make Lagos 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 the New York of Nigeria.”

The “Nwata Miss Crooner” slammed the Lagos State Government for “being jittery” and “acting out tribal politics.”
