Nigerian influencer and entrepreneur, Waris Olayinka Akinwande, popularly known as Ola of Lagos, has spoken out following the demolition of his newly built car showroom, OOL Autos, by the Lagos State Government.
The state authorities reportedly demolished the luxury car showroom on Saturday, October 11, 2025.
Reacting via his Instagram story, Ola of Lagos maintained a positive and resilient attitude despite the financial loss, assuring his followers that he was already working on rebuilding.
“New showroom coming soon… Bigger and better, Insha Allah. We’re still active! We existed long before our physical showroom, and we’ll continue to thrive,” he wrote.
Known for his motivational tone on social media, Ola also expressed deep gratitude to his fans and supporters for their concern and encouragement since the incident.
“Omo, these calls and messages, thank you all so much. I’m good, I promise. I’m even smiling right now. I’ve been taking losses for a long time, losses that could easily buy me a bedroom apartment in Ikoyi,” he said.
“But man just reflects, smiles, thanks God, comes online to motivate others, shows love, and keeps going. All is well, haha,” he added.
