I had to bear the heat in the congested corridor at #7 Gbajumo Street of the famous Balogun Market in Lagos, Nigeria.
The whole place was filled with goods, traders and shoppers.

There is no bag or footwear you want in this world that you cannot find at the Balogun Market.
This is the Christmas shopping season, so the market is a beehive of activities as traders and shoppers are all over the place. The market was crowdy and rowdy.

I came to meet with two Igbo business women.
Nonye, the fashion designer and trader whose husband is in Japan and Jane the younger trader who travels to and fro Dubai monthly. I gave Nonye a copy of Linda Ikeji's Fashion, Modeling and Beauty (FM&B) magazine before going to Gbajumo Close to see Jane.
We discussed about Dubai before I left.

Balogun Market is as old as Lagos and my beloved mother Gladys Eke always took along whenever she went shopping here before she passed on in 1993. The market was not congested in the 1970s, but the place is choking today.
I saw a lovely baby placed on a cloth on the floor in a shop as I pased through a narrow corridor. The mother must be one of the traders busy selling their imported bags.
Most of the traders are Igbo men and women.
