WUSE MARKET

A large central open-air market in the city, where you will find everything and nothing, but which is above all worth a visit for the unique experience of the friendly harassment of auction sellers, the highly ordered ambient brothel, the striking scents of vegetable, fish or meat stalls, and above all for the colours of the thousands of extended waxes, as promises of extravagant clothes. Good deals are available for those who master the art of palaver, theatre and trade, of course. Lose yourself in the neighbourhoods of this small autonomous town, to spot its various specialities, from mechanical equipment to second-hand shoes and children's toys, and thwart the ballet of wheelbarrow carriers who absolutely want to carry the least of your purchases. If you are not deafened by the sounds of generators running at full volume, then negotiate a loincloth or fabrics of all textures and colours: the city's dressmakers will dress you from head to toe if you give them the right instructions: one of the greatest to live in Nigeria!
