Got here on a Sunday. Not many stores were open due to the day. But I can truly see from the abundance of closed shops just how much would be available!! Indeed it’s a HUGE place! But to help make things simple make sure you know what you want before heading out.

I lovet he Kejetia market as the place looks modern and the environment is very conducive. You can have a good place to sit and rest. Car pack is available for those with cars. Besides, in case you misplace your item you have a center to lodge your complaint and have it announced in the market for you. Above all, the market is a well designed structed with modern roof top which shield both seller and buyers from heat from the sun and rain.

It's no surprise Kejetia market is referred to as the biggest open market in West Africa. The main market is comprises 3 levels(floors), I'll be using lowest, middle, and last floor up to avoid the British US English bruhaha on floor naming. The lowest floor is mainly dominated by sale of raw meat, fish and food items including but not limited to rice, oil, yam, spices, and vegetables. The floor also houses a hospital, a mosque, some banks, and some bus stops to certain destinations. The middle floor up is dominated by traders of cloth of different varieties, packaged foods, cosmetics and perfumes, bags, and also houses a cafeteria. The last floor up has similar composition to the middle floor with an added tailoring section, and wholesale jeans, underwear, and clothing sections. Finding shops for certain items can be difficult, most especially items that are not frequently used. However, I've often found if you keep asking vendors around you're most likely to find what you seek. The facility has wheelchair accessible entrances to each level but anyone with severe vision impairment would need assistance in moving around there. In case you come in need of it, places of convenience can be found on the ground floor.

A very busy and bustling commercial hub in the CBD which sees a somewhat low level of busy when it is night time after the rush hour time. Street side hawkers display their wares for people to buy and other night businesses comes alive this time from tea spots to fast foods restaurants and mobile services providers and also the trotro drivers and their mates. I like taking my strolls around that area most often because I fancy seeing the many individuals moving to and fro looking eagerly for vehicles to board to their homes and the behaviour of the night hawkers who try to get you to buy their wares with those convincing talks and there shouting of the driver-mate for passengers to come aboard their trotro home. However , one needs to be weary of the hundreds of pickpockets walking around in the mist of the people. You have to hold on tight to your phone or any other valuables because you will never know when they have taken it away. The least instance you bump into someone the faster you're robbed off you things, so be very vigilant.
