This market was spotted on the streets of London yesterday,and according to the spotter......
'' it looks nothing different from Idumota market in Lagos island. Pepper sellers, fish sellers, clothes, shoes, CDs, panda jewelries, handkerchief, cream sellers etc.. on the road side. Lmao''
It's still well arranged
ReplyDeleteAsin en! ! over arranged sef. U guys need to see "château rouge" in Paris! U'll think u'r in idumota market.
DeleteStella I came across this kinda market in Apensen, Germany as far back as 2002! U haven't???
DeletePeckham has this. Infact I think it's a shuffling market around east London mostly at some specific days of the week or so.
That chic in d last pic look like m'cousin. That girl too waka... will call her up now and direct her here
This is not a new thing, these are stall markets. They pay weekly rent for their stall spaces.
DeleteAbeg I love these kinda road side market o. Nothing wey u wan buy wey u no go see. If u miss ur naija food just bounce to an open market like this. Finsbury Park market, Dalston market, Peckham Rye lane, Burnt Oak market etc. Omo all the food are fresh plus correct meat and chicken. Eheh
DeleteWhich kain Nigerian setting? Did you see flies there?? Abi you saw even one piece of paper or tomatoes or even vegetable leaf on the ground?
DeleteThere are markets everywhere - nothing new
DeleteIt's a flea market now they've got em everywhere. Just better organized and clean
DeleteMaybe its Farmers market. They sell things in an open area. Fresh profuce though.
ReplyDeleteI smiled watching the vegetables and fruit stands. Really looks like Nigerian setting. But certainly neater.
DeleteThis is our high street in barking, every Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
DeleteLol....Boys must hustle na. Nna na wa for you o. The hustle is in the DNA....
ReplyDeleteThose tomatoes are freshhhh! Yummy!
Seriously?
ReplyDeleteWow, dts nice.

DeleteIt's not just people,there all of different ethics and religion. Black,white,Indians and Chinese.
DeleteLol. But a neater version sha. See the floors.
ReplyDeleteYeah clean floor.
DeleteEnd time market
ReplyDeleteThis ur end time thing is beginning to irritate people. Must u say end time at every thing? If you don't know what to say pls shut up. Fish brain fool.
DeleteEnd time anon 10:42 with monkey brain.
DeleteJump inside lagoon if u dey vex. Exceptional idiot
Hahahahahahahahaha
DeleteLwtmb

DeleteNigerians de carry the hustle everywhere
ReplyDeletePls how is the news.... Every uk town have markets like this
ReplyDeleteThese markets have been there forever
DeleteOk, everybody has been to or is in London, and u guys beg for everything here even pampers. I can feed hundreds of you but I've not yet been to Europe. Misplaced priorities or what?? I will go there only when I have good reason to, not to just for going sake. I am no longer a slave
DeleteAnon take a chill pill
DeleteWhat is the population of Nigeria again??
What is the number of people commenting on this blog??
Do you know that??
Or you think it's the 100_200 people that leave comment that visit the blogs only..
Some people visit and don't comment. Some comment occasionally
How many poor and rich people are in Nigeria
All of a sudden you feel because some people are well travelled then they are the beggars?? Please.. You didn't wonder if it was the givers that traveled??
When you have the money travel but until then stop having on those who have left the shores of Nigeria and you haven't..
Everyone always claiming they can feed the entire nation.. Issh
Anon 11:55 what a horrible person you are. So what if people beg? So what if you can feed people who are out of the country? Are you God? You have shown your wicked heart and unintelligence here. Even though people beg now, God can change people's destiny for good. Keep trying to belittle people. It will not make you look better.
DeleteAnd what is the big deal about travelling to London o???? At this day and age some people still think it's a status hype?? **confused**
DeleteSisi EKo, it is a big deal and an achievement.
DeleteHave you ever travelled to London or even seen snow?
A whole London? London is paradise naa,lol.
I have only seen snow in movies, Kikiki.
This is not a big deal Stella..it's Deptford market and the do this Monday,Wednesday and Friday. .they allow people sell their stuffs on the road at a cheaper price to allow less priviledge people buy things at a cheaper rate...most of them are Pakistani who sells all odds and ends..
ReplyDeleteIt's called a High street...just like peckham.. Woolwich and all..the south East of London is immigrant dominated so you find all these here
Wrong. This is not deptford high street. Look well. Deptford looks nothing like this and is much smaller.
DeleteN thrz one on east street too, on walworth road, with lots of nigerian sellers...not a big deal sdk
DeleteBarking market.
DeleteThat's barking in east London close to the new asda supermarket. Pealie
DeleteLooks like east street market to me, or woolwich, one of the two sha
DeleteIt's barking market !
DeleteCould deduce that from the last pic.
Anyway Stellla , they have all these markets in various areas in London and they have market days like the ones in some towns back home .
Lmaoo. Make una no fight, the markets look the same.
DeleteTrue, it's Barking
DeleteLooks like Woolwich to me
DeleteIt's definitely barking market and its been there for over 10yrs. Not Nigerian selling mostly Pakistanis and Indians. You can buy cow foot and shaki as well as yam or pepper.
DeleteIs this not dalston market?
ReplyDeleteIts definitely Dalston market. The person that sent this is definitely a big JJC, cos this is normal all over east and south east London.
DeleteThe thing tire me. Something a we are tired of seeing here sef
DeleteIt is Dalston. London, London- a lot of people suffering and not smiling.
DeleteGuys this is Barking, have been there so many times
DeleteThis is not new nah.
ReplyDeleteI've been to the one in Kent too.
everybody need money na
ReplyDeleteStella not so weird i remmeber the last time i visited cologne in Germany i saw somthing like this too, my sister told me it was every tuesdays and Fridays.
ReplyDeleteThey do it here in Germany too...
DeleteYup....it is every Tuesday and Friday in Germany....it is called Wochenmarkt.
DeleteThats true, I visited one in weisbaden in germany too..bought some lovely glasses there.
DeleteEven in Paris self.
DeleteDis is obviously d senders first time in the UK.. lol
ReplyDeleteLol. This is just a street market that any city would have; especially where they have diverse population of people.
DeleteClick my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
I swear down, that's why they are so amused. I only wonder why Stella is also sounding shocked, Nawa o.
DeleteExactly.
DeleteSherry's Daughter
I sure half of the shop owners are of Nigerian descent.
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS NIGERIA.
The person who sent this in na real JJC. This is very very very common across UK. What's the big deal here? And abeg it's very different from smelling idumota. Dey lie small small biko.
ReplyDeleteThis is a market, although in a street, but the roads are not in use during market hours, afterwards, the whole place is cleaned and and traffic return. If you don't live in the area, you would not know it's a market once past market hours, that's the difference. Nothing like Nigerian market. And by the way, you find such market across Europe not just England!
ReplyDeleteForever slaves. See how all of you are busting your veins to defend England, you can't do same for your own country. Well news flash: you'll forever remain immigrants there, 3rd class citizens.
Delete@ Zeddicus, your unintelligence is beyond comprehension. People are merely stating facts and not defending England. Stop the hate!!! You are a slave to hatred. Free yourself!!!
DeleteOMGGGGG!!! @ zeddicus are you for real? No one's defending London, people are clearly stating the obvious
DeleteWho is defending who??? Pls go and sit down jorr.
DeleteEast Street Market off Camberwell Road I believe. There's lot of this markets in London and outside London too. Even in cold fucking winter these people come out and sell.
ReplyDeleteGod bless our hustle

ReplyDeleteGo to Liverpool street, they will even be shouting five five pounds!
Romford market sef get hin own...Peckham nko?
This BVN na probably JJC Stella if he/she is surprised..
Lolll. Chai.. Liverpool street Sunday Sunday market. With their mega phone screaming...
Delete" all fiva..pick for a fiva..come in me luv. Fiva me darling fiva." Loll.
London is a multi cultural city, they try to accommodate everyone. This is just another way of doing that. The street is cleaned afterwards and it's business as usual! We are not complaining. Everyone loves it. Only till about 4pm, then street is cleaned up. Happens in most western country guys. Get about more!
ReplyDeleteI saw this market a couple of years ago. I was so happy for them and wished it was somewhere close to my place. Infact, I saw yams, periwinkle (Isam) exactly the same way they put it in basins containing water to sell in the Garden city. I saw fresh ugwu, scent leaf,etc. Chei, l miss fresh scent leaf. Time to make some fresh fish pepper soup. Na who want some?
ReplyDeleteLiars.
DeleteCould be called Lagos in London.
ReplyDeleteStreet markets are a common sight all over the UK, though in designated areas. Nothing new or newsworthy.
ReplyDeleteDon't you have them in Germany? I'm sure they have them in other parts of the world as well. It's not unique to naija.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteNaija my Naija!
When I saw the heading i was like "nothing new na"First time I saw it,I was confused.I was like"Oyibo dey sel for road too hahhhahaha.from Waltham Cross to Waltham Abbey to Edmonton to even
Some places near Essex.
If they oyibos can sell clothes,shoes,bags and toys on d street,surely my Naija brothers and sisters can sell pepper and tomatoes. Hehehehe
Gosh. u well so?
DeleteThat person must be new in London. This is a normal sight na.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be Deptford High Street market... Similar ones exist in Woolwich and Peckham.
ReplyDelete-Princess of the Most High
It exists everywhere! All d ppl in London are not rich na.
ReplyDeleteThe spotter is a JJC in London. Spotter dont go and fall mugu if not maga go chop you
ReplyDeleteIs this not portobello market?cos I have seen something like this there...
ReplyDeleteHahahhaha see forming...
DeleteThis is a normal Friday market.
ReplyDeleteIt's on the road side but it's organized and not dirty like Idumota
ReplyDeleteThere is no big deal to this and their have been markets here from time.....more organised and usually closed by 6pm. It is nothing compared to idumota
ReplyDeleteWhoever sent u this picture must be a JJC here,this is very normal here. There are called street/open market.
ReplyDeleteHiaah!
ReplyDeleteThat person is a first timer in London. Make she settle first before taking nonsense pictures
ReplyDeletecool.
ReplyDeleteAnd so?
ReplyDeleteThey won't sell all these things if or when they were in Nigeria oh!!! Things Nigerias do abroad for money ehn.
ReplyDeleteWho told you they are Nigerians.
DeleteA lot of these stalls are majorly owned by asians (and some africans). They even deal more in african groceries than africans themselves.
DeleteSmurf, my local halal shop is owned and run by Asians but they sell EVERYTHING African. Eachtime I see a Nigerian or Ghanaian meal on YouTube or food blogs I want to try, all I have to do is go there and they sell some.
DeleteI hardly see African shops run and owned by Africans. Just a few...
These guys even greet you in your local dialect when you enter..lol
Smurf,don't let me laugh at you na.
DeleteSo you think they are Nigerians?
You people will not kill me, lmao.
My dear, you will be shocked that the percentage of Nigerians in this market is 10% or even less.
No its not like what we have in nigeria, it is more coordinated.
ReplyDeleteIts not new nau. There's a road side market like this at Enfield too.
ReplyDeleteThey too have to survive!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm. End time artificial eko magically appeared in London.
ReplyDeleteLol road side market is everywhere naa.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a new thing na...
DeleteActually it looks very different from Nigerian markets, can you see how clean and organised everything is?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Romford market though, that area has a large black and asian population. You won't see something like this where all the rich people live sha.
Is this person new in London, they always have dese mkts na. Some do just Saturdays.....some week days.
ReplyDeleteIts not new jare! Dat person na JJC! U would even see a white dude selling undies! Shouting Come buy my Braaaaaa! Wearing d bra self!
ReplyDeleteAll dis our big madams here! U need to see wat dey du for aliving ova there!
Even some of our big ogas are cab drivers over there they are all over heathrow airport! And those tins are sold super cheap abeg
All of a sudden everybody is a Londoner
Deletenonsense, this person must really be a newbie in the UK. This is called farmers market, and they don't look anywhere like Idumota market. This looks like the one in front of Lewisham Shopping mall.
ReplyDeleteStella you and the person that sent in these pictures need to get out more.
It's nothing Jare. Plenty markets like this in London. From Liverpool Street market to East street to Dalston to Peckham to Romford to Upton Park market. The good thing is one can a good bargain and haggle for discounts.
ReplyDeleteTheirs is neat and well arranged unlike ile epo market....
ReplyDeleteBeta days ahead

ReplyDeleteporr @sdk needs a trip to London to see this all over the placea
ReplyDeleteStella this is very common in the UK, abi e no dey Germany? na here we dey get d best deals for good quality stuff u cant even find in super stores. Bargain markets are the real deals!
ReplyDeleteSo many bv's seems to have seen this before. Tho could still be strange to some jjc including me wey never leave Nigeria before. From the comments I read now, stella they said it's a normal thing seen in some parts of obodo oyinbo. Lols
ReplyDeletei dont have ideas bout such markets ooooh.i hardly cook naija food.
ReplyDeleteStella oyibo..lol But to be fair, If you marry a caucasian, the chances of cooking African food is so small. No need for pots of soups, swallows all the time. Jollof, yes! However, one tends to cook a lot of Mac and cheese, pasta bake, spag bol, salmon, chicken in white wine sauce, stroganoff etc....lol
DeleteI've lived in east Germany and they do have these markets wochenende market fri, sat, sun. They have them in framce, Belgium in most European countries. They even have them in the US. It's not everyday sha mostly on weekends and mostly ran by asian people.
DeleteMonday Tuesday Thursday you find Market like this in Amsterdam Bijlmer
ReplyDeleteThis is a common feature in most big cities and towns in Uk.I remember the open market at the back of bullring in Birmingham.You get things at incredibly cheap rates.The eastern european guys will open blocked phones and fix bad ones in a jiffy there.Even in places like walsall,tamworth and bloxwich there are periodic open markets like this.Reminiscing on those sweet days of mine at west midlands.
ReplyDeleteWHATS NEWS HERE? ANYWAY THIS PERSON MUST BE VISITING LONDON FOR THE FIRST TIME....THERE ARE VARIOUS MARKETS LIKE THIS SCATTERED ALL OVER LONDON, SOME R HELD ON DIFFERENT DAYS OF THE WEEK SHA...STELLA U DONT HAVE IDEAS ABOUT SUCH MARKETS?

DeleteIt is East street barking market (Town centre. Nothing need, it is everywhere,though it make the street look dirty, but it is cheaper to get some stuff there.
ReplyDeleteThey are called open markets and very popular across Europe
