Balogun Market, Lagos Island

First up, Balogun Market—you can’t talk about Lagos markets without first talking about The Lagos Market. Picture this: stalls filled with clothes, shoes, bridal accessories, and provisions—oh, and if you’re looking for “Asoebi” (that perfect outfit for weddings or parties), this is your place!
But fair warning—brace yourself for the crowds and always keep an eye on your stuff (because pickpockets love a busy market too!). Still, nothing beats the thrill of scoring a great deal in the heart of Lagos Island!

Computer Village, Ikeja

Now for the techies, welcome to Computer Village in Ikeja! If it plugs in or runs on batteries, you’ll find it here. Phones, laptops, accessories, repairs—you name it. Plus, there’s some serious competition here, so you’ll definitely get a good deal.
It’s open daily (except Sundays and public holidays), and whether you’re upgrading your phone or hunting for accessories, Computer Village’s energy is unmatched. If you’re into tech, or you just want to upgrade your devices, you have to check it out.

Mile 12

Now, if you’re looking for some of the cheapest food produce, Mile 12 is where it’s at. This is the go-to spot for bulk perishable food shopping—think mountains of tomatoes, peppers, yams, onions, and so much more.
It’s also the largest perishable food market in Nigeria, so you’re getting the freshest produce at unbeatable prices. If you want to stock up for your next big event or just want to stock up your fridge, Mile 12 is the place. Plus, buying in bulk means savings. Who doesn’t love that?

Tejuosho/Yaba Market

Tejuosho Market, once chaotic, is now ultra-modern but still packed and busy. With businesses ranging from gold sellers to fabric and clothing shops, it’s the go-to spot for affordable shopping.
The night market here is also super lively, with all sorts of goodies. But heads-up—watch out for miscreants. Tejuosho has come a long way, and it’s definitely worth a visit for an exciting (and pocket-friendly) shopping spree.

Aswani Market, Iyana Isolo

Last but definitely not least—Aswani Market. Okay, this one is a bit of a hidden gem, but if you’re after ridiculously cheap items, this is your go-to. From clothes for 200 Naira to used gadgets, this place has everything at bargain prices.
And the best part? The market’s vibe is as lively as they come, with traders literally calling you over to check out their stuff. It’s one of those places where even if you don’t need anything, you’ll probably end up buying something just for the fun of it.

And there you have it!These markets are just a small selection of what Lagos has to offer.
