I have always wondered how imported fairly used clothes were coined "okrika".

I just learnt in recent times that okrika is a town in rivers state, no thanks to the recurrent news of political violence from there.

Anyone in the house with the taxonomical background of Okrika when used in referring to fairly used clothing materials

What I heard was thatused clothes sale men used to ring bells and shout Okrika wake up in Okrika.

I learned it was a trade route through which ssecond hand clothes and other materials were shipped inland.

Barcanista should throw more light here.

I think the reason is because all the used clothes from outside nigeria into the country came through okirika during the colonial era..
