(Nigeria Fashion - only on BattaBox) We have London clothes, Korea, Chinese, but the best of all is the London bail.
That's the first grade of all okrika
Like children's trousers, polo, shirts trousers, men and ladies trousers,
Second hand bags and shoes, ladies shoes, belts and many other things
We do have a lot in second hand, from Europe, China or Korea
We have TM, we have Calvin Klein - everything is there
Yes i have different designers, like sean jean, puma, fubu, nike, adidas, st michael, Tm and lots more
There was a day i open men's shirt, and i saw $100 in the front pocket
Sometimes we do see dollars, sometimes we see chain
Sometimes i wear it myself, sometimes i sell it
I came here because I learned you can get things cheaper than every other market,that why i decided to come and try it
This is my first time of coming here
I need children and baby cloths. I sell baby cloths.
Its not funny at all, Sometimes I have to find a place to sit down because the market is so crowded
I was asking someone if its always like this he said today is better, if you come here on monday, you won't find space
The children cloths cost 300 - 400 upward, but for adults, we have the one of 1,500 - it depends on the quality and grade
We buy in bail
Yes but not all,
If it's like 200 pieces, its not all that would be okay, we'll see some that's not nice
We will sell it as clearance or pieces for companies that make cloths and they recycle them for something else.
The challenges we are facing is that, despite our suffering , these agbero people [market touts or Area Boys] are disturbing
Atimes, they don't respect themselves, they just misbehave
Fighting us,they don't exercise patience before we can even give them money - so that's one of the many challenges we face
I face a lot of challenges, depending on the custom officer handling our goods when bringing it down from Cotonu
A lot of people say Okrika is contraband and is illegal so we face a lot of challenges bring it down here- we spend a lot
At times our goods has been impounded and not returned to us, so we've faced a lot of things
That's December period
Because people normally buy goods to travel, to give people
Sometimes if you make too much money, you can make like 50,000
But a day that market is bad, you can make like 20,000 or 30,000
A lot of things, that was in the past but not anymore
We saw gold, euro, pounds, then, but now okrika is being sorted
They sort it now so atimes we can only see 1 euro or 5 euro (Nigeria Fashion - only on BattaBox)
