They are welcome by low income earners and part of the shrinking middle class.
Lagos with a population of 20million is easily become the biggest hub of second hand clothing. A number of market across the city including; ASWANI, KATANGOWA( SUPER), and YABA, were the affordable items have nicknames like AKUBE, GWANJO, or OKRIKA. It will give the stalls a fresh look when restocked new wares.
Traders yelling theirs prices and customers bending and selecting the clothes. The sprawling market is a sensory overload of colour, clatter and chaotic energy.
The sellers always moderately shouting in the air ‘ NA MUMU DEY GO GO BOUTIQUE’* which translate to *ONLY FOOL SHOP AT BOUTIQUE*. This is the perception of most people regarding bend down shopping way, why go for upscale stores when you can purchase the same clothing for a cheaper price.
