The only thing worthy of admiration is the affordability of commodities. I was dropped in front of this market by a taxi driver the very first time I entered Ilorin. I couldn't differentiate between Ipata and Yikpata then. God will bless that Corp member that assisted me to the garage that year. Very kind of you.

Hmmm..... nice thread... good coverage... good insight ... clear pix . Looks very orderly for a market .... ehmmm..... civilized market women ... hassle free shopping.... I'll go sometime ... hopefully in this life time.... even if it's for just those family size plantains! Really this is the type of produce we should be using instead of the clones well packaged in the supermarkets.

Not at all!

I was once here when I needed jatropha seeds for my project. Very scattered, crowdy and unorganized market.

Immediately I stumbled on the post, bad memories of the market swept into my mind but I almost didn't want to comment until I saw your comment.

Alihamdulillah. Proudly Ilorite

Ilorin is a great city in Nigeria that doesn't get it's due recognition.

Odunharry:

There are market in the outskirt like ganmo area and the likes that don't open everyday. Even some people in Ilorin come to the market too to get stuff.

True
Buh people from Ganmo(I mean the indigenous Ganmo people)don't consider themselves as part of Ilorin

Same way Mowe or Ogijo ain't Lagos

Please put graphic next time.

Yea true.. Even people in Ganmo will tell you they are going to Ilorin/Town. Its funny to me.

Very rough market with plenty stubborn people. Don't mind d op ooooo. If u are going, don't take taxi oooo because taxi won't take u to d gate unless u are a patience person. U will dey inside hold up for up to an hour even when u already getting there. Is better u should take bike or better, drop at aduralere junction if u coming thru maraba. If u coming thru opo malu, bike will be easier.

You didn't lie but not anymore now

Definitely you have never been to any open market in lagos before if you call this market rough

Ipata is a very good market .... I bought foodstuffs there throughout my stay in Ilorin

Those market women chaii��... You do not dare wear any skimpy or transparent cloth to that market... They will embarrass the daylight out of you�

Look the same.

Nice market, will visit there soon

This kind of market is scattered all over Nigeria. is not only peculiar to Ilorin alone.

Reminds me of when I was working with a Fmcg brand in Ilorin .
Ilorin had big markets and also major key distributors in Nigeria .
Everyday markets
Oja oba
Oja titun
Mandate
Ipata
Yoruba
Offa markets

Periodic markets
Omu Aran
Eyenkorin
Saragi
Bode saadu.
Ilorin sweet o when it comes to social life and night life , can't forget sound bar ,princess , Golden sand at irewolede .

Thank you OP for sharing.

You stand with a drug dealer and irresponsible person?

Do you ever consider the future of your children in your choice of political candidates?

Yes, you can claim your mum's origin. Check the Nigeria constitution for details. My dad is from akoko edo in edo state near isua akoko ondo state but mum is from lagos( from jakande family) and I'm claiming lagos. I can also claim edo if I want. Our constitution allows that.

Otunba Gbenga Daniel, former ogun state governor is another example. His dad is from delta while his mum, an ogun state woman and he became governor of ogun state. He claimed ogun

Omo na my mummy be that she don cast make I go show her

Ok

BROS SULU GAMBARI FAMILY ARE FUTA JALONIANS

Ipata Market, one stop shop for all food items.

Things are relatively cheaper and available.

I was a regular visitor while in Ilorin.

A wonderful market, anything about Ilorin always reminds me of my special Adiza Bukola. RIP sweetie ���

Aboki no where Dem no dey

This market always has beggars lined up in a seated position in the road median as if na their shop location for daily transactions.


These photos are just fine, it isn't the true pictorial, the market is dirty.
