Big market along the coast.

Alaba International Market is the biggest open market in Africa, well known for clusters of lock-up stalls and medium stores that sell various brands of electronic appliances.
This gigantic market is sited along Badary expressway (the link highway to neighbouring West African Countries), projecting it as the business and road haulage route from any ECOWAS country to Nigeria hinterlands.

Well dominated by the most adventurous and enterprising tribe in Nigeria (Igbos), Alaba international market has been characterized by Good, Bad, and Ugly practices - ingenuity, self-employment opportunities, piracy, brand counterfeiting, exploitations, and obstruction of law enforcement!

Here, you get to meet with the everyday Nigerians, read first hand information, and hysterically share their pains and gains.
