Market Friday | window-shopping or site seeing
Hello market men and women!
Welcome to my market Friday post.
It's another episode of my report on Friday market experience here using #marketFriday initiated and moderated by @dswigle
I went to the market situated in Itam LGA, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria.
In the market, things were really expensive, like 10% from the previous price.
The retailers were like "There's little supply and higher demand".
This triggered the prices to skyrocket.
For example, a 120 g detergent that was sold at $0.3 last month is currently sold at $0.33 or more.
This to an extent altered my budget for the day.
I just bought stuffs not up to half of what was in my list while others were for the ears to listen to their recent price tags.
Below are few photos that I took.
While I was doing my hopping, I noticed that a lady in front of me was perplexed, guessed her way around.
I managed to have a decent conversation with her, but she was more frustrated that I could imagine.
In this period of lack and wants, our hope is on God.
Change is coming.
Thanks for spending time to read my market Friday post.
Do check back next week to read the latest update.
Do have and awesome weekend.

I am so sorry. Truly. It is that way everywhere. My gas, water, electricity, food... everything is more. I have been focusing on foods that I can buy and hold, for the days that the market is too much. I have dried beans, dried fruit. I dry it out and it stays better longer.
I'm trying to get ahead of the game. My hope is with God, in good times or bad. Thank you for joining #MarketFriday!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through by their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
