We will place this market on 5 star.
To begin with, the market which is situated off broad street,along marina road, is enough to give the lagos undilluted market rush!!!
Aah have u been to somewhere, while being pressed for time, yet you need to get your eyes fed with maximum satisfaction?
At this market, you will not only feel the rush of adrenaline as the the traders and sellers are screaming to your face,and whinning to your ears to purchase their products, aggressively yet passively in a sweet tune to catch your total attention, if u snooze for a minute, by getting carried away, you loose by having your pocket picked of bag ripped.
