Introduction

For the past 2 months, I have been taking you to different locations here in Uyo. And today, I want us to visit one of the local market's in my city. Well, we have so many of them. But the one am taking you to is called IFA Atai Etoi village market it is located along Oron Road Uyo, by Ifa Etoi LGA. There are many shops in this market and many good's are sold there. In that case, let's visit just 10 shops and see what the have in store.

Shop 1

Uchenna foodstuffs

This shop is owned an managed by a young man named Uchenna. He is from Anambra State Nigeria. I always go there to buy Garry, rice, tomatoes etc. He sells only food stuffs and other things related to it. Take a look at the table, you will confirm that with me. Hope you are seeing rice, beans, tomatoes and spices? He sells varieties of rice. Local and Foreign rice. Beans the same thing. One thing I love about this shop is their prices are low compared with other people around them. Many of their goods are still inside. Let's quickly visit another shop.

Just as the name implies, she is from Igbo land. Anambra State. I love buying palm oil from her because she sells original one. Apart from that, her Ogbonu and Melon is always good. You can always come here to buy your soup ingredients.

Shop 5

Uduak periwinkles shop

Take a look at the periwinkles, is very neat not so? That's why I always buy it from her. Before cutting the tails of the periwinkles, she will wash it very well, and make sure she removed all the spoiled ones. When, you buy from her, the stress of washing it for 3-5 times will no longer be there.

Madam Idara the meat seller

I came to know her on a very good day when I was looking for meat. One of the women in the market directed me to her. She is very friendly and maintains her customers. I have nothing to regret since I came to know her. Infact,any day I didn't see her in the market, I used to feel bad.

@chichieze. Great business review. I think this is a big daily market. The first shop you choose in this review is very appropriate (food stuff). The tomatoes on shop 2 is so fresh, I love washing tomatoes and eating it fresh either with bread or just like that.
You have lots of fresh items in this market, examples are shop 5, 7, and 10.
Personally I think picture on shop 8, is graphic and should have "viewers discretion" warning. Patiently waiting for you to take me to Ekpenukim Market
Best wishes.
