And some Lagosians had some funny reactions about it
@AkinwunmiAmbode but E-sir, Gala & la casera is the bedrock on which the Lagos hustle stands. What shall man do?

@AkinwunmiAmbode @YouTube you would be supporting this until you find yourself in traffic hungry and thirsty. Then you would know how far.

@AkinwunmiAmbode If you chase chips sellers from earning their daily bread in traffic, they will resort to robbery in the same traffic!
