BBC Reporter Boasts of a Texas Street named after him

BBC Larry Madowo took to social media with a photo showing him standing against street named ‘Larry’ in Texas.

He was awed and his teasing remarks got netizens talking. He stated he was grateful but insisted Texas didn’t have to name a whole street after him.

Thank you, Texas, but you didn’t have to name a whole street after me 😎 pic.twitter.com/9M3NkWiDQr

He was also reminded that back at home there is a whole constituency named after him by those wondering why a street would be a more bigger deal.
