MARKET FRIDAY WENT TO IKEJA CITY MALL
HELLO HIVE
It's another wonderful Friday, and I'm happy to be back in this lovely community that continuous grace my sight with different people's culture and market experience around the world, it's always a joy to go through each of the post, today I'll love to share my experience at the Ikeja city mall in Lagos where I went with the mindset of purchasing some corporate office wears to be worn to my newly acquired job.
It'll be noted that I stated in my last post here that I just got a new job in Lagos and to fulfill and obey all protocol of which dressing etiquette is parts of, I decided to stock my wardrobe with corporate office wears that will be wearing to my new place of work.
So to make that happen I visit the Ikeja city mall close to my resident, because I was told it's loaded with many and various type of outfit and that I'll surely be getting my size without being bother about seeing what I like, that isn't in my size.
So with the recommendation and proximity to where I logde I decided to check it out, and I must confess that I was wowed by what I saw, they seems to have everything, the place is as well beautiful and pleasant to the eyes.
Before leaving home, I made a list of the amount of shirts I trousers I needed and the average budget I would be working with, in other not to over-spend, since I've been told I'll surely see stuffs to that'll literally grab my attention to the point where it can make me spend beyond my budget.
So I left with a budget of ₦30,000, since such amount can get me much in my former location, but on getting to the mall I realize price are very high compare to Ilorin, I mean my budget if there isn't a thorough search and bargaining can't purchase more than just two shirts and a trouser, because the least amount I saw a shirt was ₦9,000 each.
I had to work around the mall, in search of a place where it'll be cheaper, and that's why I was able to take so many pictures of different store and female wears, in the end I was able to finally see a store that agree to sell each shirt at ₦7,000, I felt its still much, but due to his consideration I decided to purchase just one of the shirt and a trouser at ₦6,000
I purchase those two alone with the hope that I'll be getting it cheaper elsewhere, or I might just purchase them in Ilorin when I travel back to go get my properties.
But then aside the high prices of items at the mall, I must admit, they've got it all, quality and mind-blowing collections and it was a beautiful sight to behold that got be engrossed and overwhelmed.

It is a real eye-opener, isn't it? I would have run away too, what other choice would I have? I am glad you will be going to Ilorin to purchase your needs. I am sort of sad you will be leaving your home there, but the chance for opportunity is too great to pass it up. Just like clothing, there will be tradeoffs for a better living.
I don't believe I have congratulated you on your new job! Congratulations and well done! That is so awesome and I Know that you will shine in whatever you undertake. I am sure your family is so very proud of you. I am so glad you stepped out in faith to realize this new life. I wish you all the luck in the world for you and for your family.
The mall was awesome!! I am not sure how long it takes you to get to Ilorin from there, but, until the times get great, going back there for buying seems like the way to go... although shopping in that mall will soon be part of your new life!
I want to thank you for being a part of the #MarketFriday Challenge. I have personally found there is always so much to learn about people, where they live, and how things are done in different parts of the world. For me, reaching out across the globe and learning about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, has been such a rewarding experience. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the rituals, festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... and what is 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. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. We do differ in many ways, which makes us interesting and unique, but, there are many ways in which are so much alike.

It was indeed an eye opener, well I actually anticpated the price will be on the rise here in Lagos, since it's the economy hub of our country, just that I didn't envisioned it'll be this high.
To get the cloth actually later send some funds home in Ilorin, and I was able to purchase at least two shirts from what is been charged for one here.
I wished I won't be leaving too, but it's all aimed towards living and having a better life, where I can meet the needs of my love one's, so that why I opts for the employment.
Smile, it's all good, thanks so much for the well wishes, encouragement and believe you've in me, it's one of the things that kept me going and motivated to do better with life, just to make I and my family proud, and I'm certain they're proud of my achievements so far.
It's indeed a wonderful place to be, to get different Quality items(well for the rich and well to do lolz), but I had a great time there, and even learn few dressing style from how some of the mannequin were stylishly dressed.
Getting to the mall in Lagos will take nothing less than 7hours, but I'm presently staying at a friend's place pending the time I'll be getting an apartment to rent for myself, I'm presently checking the various rentable apartment closer to my place of work.
I'm always excited to come visit the #MarketFriday weekly, either I post or not, the valuable knowledge I got here are second to none and it's also make me understand the way of life, culture and how things are done in different territory, and I must commend your efforts for keeping the tradition and modernity in the same light in building and aiding the development of the community.
