Okrika Market / Bend-down-select
πŸ“– Port Harcourt's 'Okrika Market' or 'Bend-down-select' scene is a vibrant hub for resellers, particularly at the famous Oil Mill Market. This market, especially lively on Wednesdays, is where traders from across the South-South region converge, bringing in bales of second-hand clothing, shoes, and accessories. Resellers can unearth unique fabrics in the 'gutter section' of Oil Mill Market, and the sheer volume of goods means keen eyes can find high-quality, sometimes even designer, items at incredibly low prices. An insider tip for navigating these bustling markets is to arrive early on market days to get the first pick of newly opened bales and to dress simply to encourage better bargaining.
