The recent renaming of streets and bus stops in Lagos’ Bariga area has stirred conversations online, following a viral video of a bus conductor still using one of the old names.
GistLover previously reported that Kolade David, the outgoing chairman of the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA), announced that several streets, roads, and bus stops were being renamed to honour notable individuals who have shaped the area’s identity and reputation.
Among the changes, Charly Boy Bus Stop was renamed Baddo Bus Stop in recognition of music star Olamide ‘Baddo’ Adedeji. Other honourees include music legends King Sunny Ade, 9ice, Tony Tetuila, and Arsenal footballer Bukayo Saka.
