Okrika Market / Bend-down-select
📖 Ibadan's 'Okrika Market' or 'Bend-down-select' scene is a bustling hub for resellers seeking affordable, quality second-hand goods. While Bodija Market is renowned for foodstuffs and fresh produce, you'll find a significant 'Okrika' presence in other areas like Dugbe Market, which is known as a major thrift market for clothing, shoes, and fashion accessories. Resellers often discover designer items at bargain prices, ranging from clothing and shoes to bags and household items. An insider tip for resellers is to arrive very early, as those with boutiques and stores often come in the morning to pick the best items.
