@Knownsokeys 🇳🇬 ✪: “Same thing with ASABA SHOP OWNERS. They barely open till 9/10am. Infact some will rent a shop and won’t open till it expires and they still renew the rent even without using the shop!!!. I don’t know what could be the cause.”
@UJU ECHE: “4am all shops don open for Onitsha…. Omo I love Onitsha in terms of business.”
@marvel: “Worst part, is if they are about to open and you start hurrying them, they will start shouting at you that if you can’t wait you should go.”
@Jessy💕: “3:am person dey sell hot buns inside Lagos traffic.”
