Charly Boy visits Olamide Baddo Bus Stop

Legit.ng recalls reporting that Charly Boy visited the Olamide Baddo Bus Stop, formerly named after him.

The 75-year-old entertainer poked fun at the idea, saying that if the government could rename the bus stop, maybe they would name an airport after a DJ or call the National Assembly "Comedy Central."

He remained unbothered, stating that life is too short to stress over a bus stop name change, especially when he's doing just fine.
