Market Friday Walk

It was a great experience here in a small community called ikot okoro, in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, where I and my colleagues went to develop a real estate for a client.
We had been busy since morning trying to organise the workers on site and get everything in right proportions.
About 5:30pm, I remembered I was yet to participate in the #marketfriday show.
I had to take a walk to the nearby market.
Since it is a small community, I really didn't expect it to be as busy as the popular itam market in my area where traders from other states troop in with their goods to sale them.

My first sight on reaching the market was on this maize. I really love maize and even though I didn't intend to buy anything there, I was prompted to buy this very stuff.

I had the seller remove the layers for me so I won't have to carry a big bag back home, I needed something portable🤓🤓🤓

I took a walk inside the market to take some more shots

Twas beginning to drizzle so I took to my heels since I had some more miles to go before reaching home so I didn't want our vehicle to get stuck on our way back.

Thanks to @dswigle for organizing this community where I get to learn from other cultures and share mine too.

Maize, corn or whatever a person calls it is so delicious, especially when it is freshly picked! This looked freshly picked and I will bet it was juicy and tasted the best!

It is really nice of you to support the smaller market so integral to the communities. I know that it is cheaper at the bigger markets where the farmers sell to the vendors, and the price is passed on to you, but, I also like to support the little guy when I can afford to.

I have a question. What is it on the stick below the Maize? I thought they were figs, but some were so much larger. Can you tell me what that is? :) I hope you got home before the rain came down on you!! It is always a pleasure to see you at #MarketFriday! Remember that you can go to the market any day, I just ask it to be posted on Friday or as close as possible so people can see them with all the others.

It is people like yourself that make this challenge successful! I love perusing the different cultures around the globe! It has been a fun experience! In case you forgot anything or anyone is reading this and is curious about it, this will clear that up!

Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?

Those are the cheapest set of fish in the market. I guess its cheep because it has so many bones in it. Persons like me don't really like it because of the bones.
Its called "ibad" in my local dialect.

Thanks so much for the !tip.
I feel so honored
