Popular Nigerian influencer and luxury car dealer, Waris Olayinka Akinwande, widely known as Ola of Lagos, has reacted following the demolition of his car showroom, OOL Autos, by the Lagos State Government.

The demolition reportedly took place on Saturday, marking a major setback for the auto entrepreneur who recently unveiled the high-end facility.

Taking to his Instagram story, Ola maintained a positive and determined outlook despite the loss, assuring fans that his business would bounce back stronger.

“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 and vibrant energy online, Ola expressed gratitude to his fans and supporters who reached out after 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 taken losses that could easily buy me a bedroom apartment in Ikoyi,” he said. “But man just reflects, smiles, thanks God, motivates others, shows love, and keeps going. All is well.”

Despite the setback, Ola’s message emphasized resilience, faith, and optimism, reinforcing his image as one of Nigeria’s most inspiring young entrepreneurs in the luxury auto space
