“OOL Autos New Showroom coming soon…Bigger and better insha Allah. We’re still active! We’ve been before our physical showroom, and we’ll always be. Omo, these calls/messages are much, thank y'all though I’m good. I promise I’m smiling at the moment too haha. Been chesting losses for long. Losses that will comfortably get me a bedroom apartment in Ikoyi. Man will just reason it all, smile, thank God, come online to drop motivation, show love, then keep going…. All is well ooo haha…” he wrote.

Social media reactions :

"Just saw the news about the demolition and honestly, it’s painful to watch. We understand the government has rules to enforce, but the way this was done, so sudden, with little warning, leaves hardworking Lagosians struggling. Years of effort, money, and dreams can’t just disappear in a day. Laws are important, yes, but so is empathy. Enforcement shouldn’t mean crushing lives overnight. Governance is about people, not just power."

witchdoyze said: "If na Igbo person get this showroom then you go don hear agenda. We don’t care who owns it here. If you break law you go down we don’t care."
lumide0b said: "The location under high tension electric masts was called out the first day he unveiled the showroom In his videos. The evil day has come within a year unlike some that get decades before the government finally remembers they shouldn't have allowed construction in first place."
