great write up..

Selling okrika on rail tracks and Tejuoso ultramodern shopping facility is abandoned

Before I price any item, I usually say.”Promise me you are not going to insult me when I state the price I have.”

I cant stop laughing like your scared for the future of your generation from their curses....

That moment when a yaba trader gives you his asking price and what you have in your pocket is = asking price/10 ...But you're too scared to say it out because it sounds ridiculous and also there's a crowd of other traders watching at the entrance of the shop

Oloshos everywhere!!!!! Shea u forgot that one

Is this not the same yaba market where those igbo boys touch female customers bossoms under the guise of urging them to come and buy. Those guys are perverts.

That's exactly how they are.... lol

Abeg. Where dem Dey sell curtain material for yaba

This is what we also experience in ogbete market here in Enugu...I taya for them oo

lol..u be mumu I swear!

It is clear fro this thread that omotola is a regular at Yaba market. And yet she claims that only her husband goes to the market cos 'she can't'. Nigerian Hollywood actress wannabes who are barely able to maintain a comfortable life forming since 1995.

Atk01:
Very funny!
This is synonymous with almost all the markets in Lagos, not Yaba alone.


"Sister, na the price wey I buy am for market na em I dey give you so. I no add five naira join am." And they start swearing with ev
erything they have just to prove it.

Lmbo

You didnt make mention of curtin crew now

whizqueen:
I couldn't have said it any better.

The one that pisses me off the most is those annoying guys always holding and dragging someone's hand. "sister I get correct Jean oo. Shey na leggings you dey find? I get fine colours and patterns. My color, , come now... I go give you better price" *dollar or gold* crew sef dey vex me


Those hairdressers, do they really get customers? cos I can't just imagine going to anyhow person to make my hair. Never!

Lalasticlala food is ready

Lol

Who are those set of people in the market and where are they from? Just asking because they seem very uncultured.

Very funny

But Yaba is annoying o especially those curtain sellers.

Lol.. Very funny

Lagos is really crazy

Not only in Lagos. I had to get something along this popular market in my state, one igbo guy just threw trouser on my face telling me to buy (na by force), i was thrilled with anger and i jejely threw the trouser on the busy road, next thing the guy started to abuse mama...ehehe, i almost fought that day even tho i knew the guy was going to finish me. It was that day i vowed to always bring pocket knife to market (lol). Not being tribalistic tho, but these igbo traders get bad mouth, dm no dey chill at all.

Dis guy be lik say en do IT for yaba market o

The mallams at the entrance ALWAYS thinking you are there to change naira to dollars in this unstable economic environment. I can’t even remember the last time I held a dollar.
The traders beckoning at passerby’s not caring if they passing to work. And the aggressive traders waiting to pull your hands roughly once you approach the market. My hands are always sore by the time I get home.
You can’t haggle prices
Yaba traders are known for their ferocious tongue. They’ll smile & ask you to state a price for their wares and if you under price them, they’ll curse your future, present and past generation. Before I price any item, I usually say.”Promise me you are not going to insult me when I state the price I have.”

No freedom of movement
Once a particular trader notices you’ve passed his shade more than thrice without stopping, he’ll inform his fellow traders and they’ll all take their turns to throw jabs at you.

You can’t go through a trader wares for more than five minutes without picking an item. Stay longer and you’ll start hearing nonsense like,
“See, looku looku why you dey scatter my market. Disappear olosho.”
“Oya, commot for here useless girl.”
There was a time I was going through a bail of skirts and after 5 mins, the trader impatiently said. “Abi you dey find the new skirt style wey get legs for my market?”

They decide what you buy
I was ransacking a stock of tops and the trader asked what I was looking for. I told him I needed a black crop top and the guy raised his head to say I am very stupid. That he had a bail of nice tops and rather than pick a decent one, I wanted a crop top so I can roam around Lagos naked.
I quietly left.

Liars everywhere
A trader would swear on his ancestor grave that he has the midi skirt you are looking for then make you walk the length of the railway with him only to produce an ugly dinner gown that is totally unrelated with what you asked for.
And then the ones that would say you need to shop with them cos Omotola just left their shop.

Majority are illiterates
I also asked another trader for a kimono.
“Kimo wetin?” He said.
“Kimono!” I repeated, “Don’t you know it?”
He replied, “See your mouth like kimimi? E be like say you don drink come market. Common commot for here!”

Yaba Affiliates Traders
These set of people are very annoying. They have no stock but spend their time sourcing for customers to take those they have “deals” with so they inflate the price of wares and get as much as 30 percent commission in some cases.

Watch out for the crooks
I walked into a shop and asked if they had a black dress. The trader told me to sit that they had very nice dresses if I was patient enough to wait. Moments after, he went into an inner room and emerged with a bottle of maltina. I told him it wasn’t necessary but he insisted he is usually very nice to customers and opened the drink. I collected it and placed it on the ground beside me. After waiting for an eternity, he threw the most ugly navy blue dress I have ever seen in my life at me. I told him I don’t like it & I need to leave. He said I was very stupid that he would make me regret entering his shop if I don’t drop N150 for the free malt.

Your hair is never nice enough
The hairdressers at the railway will always beckon at you to change your hairstyle no matter how new or nice your hair looks.


Silly pet names
My colour, my type, miss world, agbani, Genevieve, Omo sexy, my wife, ashawo etc. And the very annoying traders that would ask in all seriousness how your mother and father are doing. Or how you look so much like their sister in the village.

[b]They assume every girl is a UNILAG student
[/b]Even when you look like you are in your late 60’s or you arrive in a Ferrari, they keep promising to give you ‘student price’ if you shop with them or how you will look good if you wear a particular dress to school.


http://naijasinglegirl.com/annoying-things-about-yaba-market/

You're absolutely right! The most annoying one is when you've just spent a few thousands making your hair,only for them to be asking you'"aunty you wan do your hair?" I frequent that market a lot and I hate it when they start with their silly ways of hustling for customers,like "my colour! My in-law,tomatoe jos, mummy!,etc If you don't have enough money please avoid tejuosho/yaba market if you don't want to be embarrassed or insulted!
