The transformation video of the shop got many wondering if she had an agreement with her landlord before the renovation.

A trader in Ibadan, Olajunwo Janeth, supported transforming one's business place even if it runs into millions.

"You are the one who knows what you want for your business place. If you could afford making it attractive to the client base you want, then do it. Some landlords could be so wicked, so you need to talk to them before going ahead."
