There are indigenes of Lagos State; when you visit a place and prosper in that place that should not make you to undermine the people of that state. It is wisdom I am talking. You can abuse me but it doesn’t change the fact that you can not place something on nothing. So I advise our people, in as much as you have all the freedom to do your business, you must also respect the culture of the people and respect the people
