udysweet:

Thanks dear. Yes but I'll advise if you can go to tradefair now,its better. There is an entrace called GL gate. From there inside u can ask pple t show u shops were u can buy jewelries including costume types,for lagos island dos shops hav changed o,some places hav been rebuilt,relocating the former occupants. Like wen I went to chechk for neck chains for a friend I cldnt locate the place again,lol! They had pulled dwn d old building and built a bigger one but d occupant had left and new pple came in

RaphaellaDD:
Thank you so much!! I'm in PH now and won't be able to travel till January, so I probably won't meet up with the trade fair.

synclaire:
Its not d normal tradefair dat used 2 be held once a year, its just d complex where it used 2 hold b4. If you are coming from iyana-iba or mile 2, just enta a bus going 2 auto-parts, drop at GL gate. Once u enta thru dat gate u start seeing jwellries. Dere are particular places dey sell at cheaper prices sha. And dey open evryday

RaphaellaDD:
Oh! I can't thank you enough!!! God bless you!!!

ldunmota is simply for shoopers who are not familair with Lagos lsland markets or shoppers who are in a hurry to just buy and catch the next bus home..

But for ldunmota born and bred Ajepako like me...shopping in Lagos lsland a bi nd buying loju dozen is a piece of cake..

Now here are places on the lsland for items and the locations of the sellers in large quantities..

Jewelry and accessories:..Dosunmu Obun Eko.....Ago Tower...axis (not even Balogun)

Wigs..weaveon..........bankole axis of Balogun market..

Kitchenware...Doherty...Ereko...and Ebute Ero..

Cosmetics...Balogun and Pedro axis of Dosunmu..

Lace Material...Just go to Moshalasi Jimoh which seems to have dethroned Quaters (But ldunmota is also good for lace also John Street and Saudi..

For travelling bags and stuff...just go to the Nnamdi Azikwe axis bothering Martins Street with LSDPC and old Eko lnternational Bank..

Ankara...forget it...too much in balogun..

Shoes and bag...just concentrate on Gbajumo street axix of Balogun

Underwears...Dosunmu or Saba Street behind Great Nigeria House on Martin Street..

You want men suits..shoes and belts....then migrate to Mandilas axis of lagos lsland..

You want ladies dresses....start from Martins street....balogun...breadfruits..davies street..

Rubber sandals and slippers...Bridge street ..Onisemo...axis of ldunmota

Beaverages..wines and drinks...Start from Ereko..Alhaji lssa Williamms street and Apogbon axis of Lagos lsland..

Made-in-Nigeria shoes and bags...just go to Abe bridge eko bridge...

Finally for everything cheap and gbajo..gbanjo..gbanjo...it's ldunmota..

ldunmota andbLagos lsland is shoppers delight if you know your way..
