Nigerian auto dealer and influencer Waris Olayinka Akinwande, popularly known as Ola of Lagos, has vowed to bounce back after the demolition of his car showroom.

The incident happened over the weekend, months after he unveiled the luxury car space.

A viral video showing the moment the building was pulled down quickly spread across social media, sparking reactions from fans and supporters.

The exact cause of the demolition has not been disclosed, but it left the influencer counting losses.

Reacting through his Instagram story on Sunday, Ola maintained a calm tone and reassured his followers that his car business remains active.

“OOL Autos new showroom coming soon… Bigger and better insha Allah. We’re still active! We’ve been before our physical showroom and we’d always be,” he wrote.

He also urged customers to keep doing business with him during the rebuilding phase.

“Pending the time our new office will be ready, you can Call/WhatsApp for clean cars as usual—you will love it.”
The 28-year-old influencer, who gained fame in 2021 after winning a giveaway by Davido, expressed deep gratitude to his fans for their support.

“Omo, these calls and messages—thank y’all though, I’m good. I promise I’m smiling at the moment,” he said.

“I’ve been chesting losses for long—losses that could comfortably get me a bedroom apartment in Ikoyi. Man will just reason all, smile, thank God, come online to drop motivation, show love, then keep going. All is well ooo haha…”

Ola of Lagos has built reputation through his viral car reviews and luxury auto sales under his brand, OOL Autos.
