Markets in Nigeria are generally known to be very busy with all the hustling and bustling, people moving helter skelter, and those buying and selling. The markets are always congested which is why some dislike going to the market. During the just concluded Eid celebration, markets all over the country were packed with traders and buyers and the usually busy ones were even busier. In fact, the markets had become very busy and congested days before the Eid celebration. Products from food items to clothings were on high demand and prices of goods increased just as expected.
Despite the fact that all Nigerian markets are known to be always busy and rowdy, there are some of them that are extremely busy all year round, with or without special festivals or celebrations, and they are actually really big and popular markets. We would be looking at 10 of such markets in this piece. Here’s a list of them below:
