Comments trail Ola of Lagos' demolished showroom
Legit.ng compiled some of the reactions that trailed the video, read them below:
DeeVoidElder said:
"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."
