Local Markets

[Osamnsa]

My Name is Osam Nsa a Nigerian and a lover of adventure. Today I'd like to talk about a market in a Village called Okurikang Okoyong in Odukpani LGA of Cross River State here in Nigeria.

At the provision section of the Okurikang Market

This place don't even show on the map, its a market which holds three times each week; Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and attracts people from Calabar, Uyo and Ikot Ekpene from Akwa Ibom State, and as far as Aba in Abia State. 

The market has a lot of cassava, fresh fruits and vegs  palm oil and other palm produce and a rich collection of fabrics. Its more like a hub where farmers meet with buyers. Oh I almost forgot the fish, snails and oyster... So much sea foods on display here.

Its a great place to be. On Tuesday I'd explore more of this market.

Feel free to drop your comments.

Hi there Osam, Welcome to Connect.

Thank you for sharing information about Okurikang Okoyong. I would love to see more photos.

It's a shame when places don't appear on Google Maps, is there anything you do to help fix this?

Best wishes

That's me talking to a dried fish seller

 The market is big and I took as much pictures as I possibly could. I pray this community gets on the map soon!

Thank you for sharing, @Osamnsa. The market really deserves some attention. 

Have you tried to Add a missing place to the map? It would take some time but its what you can do to contribute positively to the market. Another thing possible is the people in charge of the market to make a registration on Google My Business.

Also, I'm merging Local Markets part 2 with this post so we can keep track. 🙂

@IrrPavlova, thanks for your feed back and advice. I already have two businesses that I have listed on google my business and for over 4 or 5 months I have not recieved my verification codes.

You see, over here we don't have organized addresses and time zone difference will not permit for video calls.

I understand it will take long but I will keep trying.

Thanks and Best regards Osam.

This market looks cool, I could walk around there all day - thank you so much for all the extra pictures @Osamnsa.

PS I hope you manage to get those businesses listed soon, don't give up.

Best wishes
