People in Lagos love fashion, and won’t hesitate to buy the best brands. But while some people spend lots of money to look glamorous, others spend far less to look just as glamorous by visiting a second hand market aka ‘bend down select’.
“Celebrities also come here to get their wears,” says Adeola jokingly
BattaBox presenter Adeola visits Katangua , one of the biggest and most populous second hand market in Lagos where you can find everything and anything you need for your wardrobe at a very low cost price.
“Jeans are sold for N500 (lesser than $2,” says one of the traders
The good thing about katangua market is that even as low as the prices are, you could still bargain with the trader for a good deal, be it children’s cloths ,jeans, tops, skirts, under wear, swim wears etc anything and everything is cheap.
“Swim suits cost N300 (less than a dollar)”
The most shocking was when Adeola discovered a shop where second hand wedding dresses are sold for close to nothing.
“You can get your wedding dresses here for N1,500 (less than $5),” says Adeola
Traders and sellers are surprisingly making lots of money from selling second hand cloths. One woman who sells swim suits tells her story…
“With this business i’ve educated my kids, built a house and bought a car,” she explains
Trust Adeola to buy a couple of things for herself.

Adeola, you are just too cute! Like we say in the States, you look good
enough to eat…..hahahha…
I see comments like “used panties…yuck.” Okay ooo. But I see Naijas go
into Goodwill to shop……Which are pretty much used….
Anyways gently used clothes aren’t bad. But Naijas are funny. If I send my
used clothes to my cousins, the way they’d act ehh, but same people would
go to these places to shop……
Am I the only one thinking why would anyone want to buy used underwear?
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST EPISODE I HAVE EVER SEEN
I live in SoCal a lot of those large standalone metal “good will” donation
boxes you see in parking lots are actually used to make profit in naija and
similar countries.. adeola is so beautiful
I have to say this is your best work yet. your personality shined
Adeola great job! Loved the tour, you are are a great presenter O. Keep
doing your thing my sista one love ;)
I don’t know…the whole thing turned me on…the way she was…with those
clothes and the wedding dress….boobs everywhere.
Sadly this will damage our local economy by not giving local manufacturers
a chance to compete in the market
I love you ,Madam Adeola.no shame.thanks battalion box for searching out
this lady for real
