Wow...and I need beads o

Oh wow! Very nice. Superb.

fascinating

Everything here is for sale , there are different vendors selling there

dahgifted:
Are those bags for sale?

This is very true. Our culture is so rich that Europeans were coming to steal our sculptures and its sad we are just letting them die

Unfortunately we have abandoned our interior decorating styles before the 1980s for Arab, Asian and white styles that mean less jobs and more poverty in our society.
When will we be wise again?

Nice one,

Petyprincess:

Wow.. this is amazing. I have been planning to get some African art works whenever i get to Benin but seeing this here.. Can't wait to check this place. So many lovely works to decorate ur home. God bless u Op

Hmmmm you are really an art lover. Every piece of art has a story behind it, but most people prefer the aesthetic part of it but the real collectors collect it for its story or history

Unnerve:
Lovely photos, but my fondness for art of this kind is merely aesthetic unfortunately.

I believe that for art to be truly appreciated by an art connoisseur, it has to go beyond aesthetics and delve into the history behind it.

I remember seeing a lovely Yoruba historical piece of art at a friend's place and when I asked her about it, all she could tell me was that she liked it just because it's beautiful.
I was able to mask my disappointment though, lol.

I don’t know if it is the same in other countries, but this right here makes shopping in local markets so stressful and eventful.

Me: Madam how much for this fish?

Me: 6

Seller: Take am N7000

Me: Ahnahn! Almost N1200 each? This fish no be N500 again? (Checks their size to be sure it is same N500 own)

Seller: Aunty fish done cost, na Corona virus cause am. Them no dey swim for water again. I hear say all the fishes done dey swim go Cameroon. Check around, many people no see fish buy for cold-room. Take am N6000, na customer I wan do you.

Me: (Bent on buying it N500, highest N550). Make I give you N3500 (I even added N200 o).

Seller: Noooo! Aunty I no sell like that. I no even buy am like that. My gain for that price I give you na 50 Naira!

Me: Okay, mummy next time. (Walks away...keeps walking...keeps walking)

Seller: *shouting “Nwanyi ocha, ngwa bia. Nne bia”*

Me: *thinking to myself, should I go back or proceed*

Pheeew!

Hahaha... Naija way is the only way

Sorry oga photographer, I'm not seeing the surrounding, I'm only seeing people stalls..
Where d cleaniness you dey talk about

Too much noise making....everything in Lagos biggest


Trust me,the Benin art market is biggest in Africa ....

This is why I decided not to post pictures of the environment. People are always looking out for the bad in everything. Rather than enjoy the beauty side of life. Well I hope you'd always focus on the good side of those cos whatever you focus you attract.

I feel you. The beauty of art is in the story behind it, or behind its making.

Bros your caption talk about the cleaniness of a market in Nigeria" and that what got me interested in the first place. imagine how disappointed I was not to see it.
I'm not looking for the bad, I simply want to appreciate this market you talked about.

Beautiful stuff! Thanks for sharing @op.

So this is were Nollywood get all those their Costumes to act those Low budget Village movies

(Respect to the Village movies from 2000 - 2007 tho) E.g IGODO, EGG OF LIFE ETC

Wetin dem the act these days i no just understand

Wow I love this. Art is actually beautiful and amazing.

travelwaka:
It is also the perfect place for all kinds of ready made fabrics. just walk in and pick one and they are quite affordable. I once took a tourist here two Britons, you need to see the way they were rocking their African prints every where we went that day. Then I realised we don't even cherish what we have. They bought a lot of these stuffs for their families back home.

We really need to retrace our steps and embrace African products.

African women can make a killing in Black America selling tailored African clothing. You can charge Gucci prices to an African American and they will happily and proudly pay it.

Good

I mentioned a lot of things and people will always see what they want to see and it sometimes reflect who they are.

U will be more wowed when u visit this market in Jakande.

I love this place! There's also an art museum not too far as well.

Quite nice, quite attractive. Egypt is building the largest art market and museum in the world with modern infrastructure, mostly indigenous art works with prehistoric times, while Nigeria is looking like an old cargo. Sorry to say nothing impressive about this.

Art is amazing. Everyday we often push the entrepreneur vs 9-5 narrative as though it has to be one OR the other, when we can be both. Watch FCMB Top 5-in-5 series to learn tips on how to run a business, be it full time or as side hustle. https:///NWsnNwTyTD

That's right, and that's really all I look forward to learning about when I encounter a piece of art.

Some don't even look appealing to the eyes but the story behind them is rich enough to make it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.

According to you, not according to me and those who know me.

Ever been to Nike art gallery? You'd love it

This is lovely. This shows art is being appreciated in Nigeria. I pray it gets better though. More of stuffs like this.

Used to be known as Bar beach market dunno what its called now
