Today being 7th July, 2022, I will be promoting one of the busiest traditional retail in my locality. The market is by name "IPATA". ipata market is located in Ilorin south local government area, along Agbaya road, kwara state, Nigeria. Its known as one of the busiest market here in Ilorin due to the kind of products that are being sold there. Apart from being the busiest, its also one of the oldest market in the history of kwara state. People come from neighboring village's to buy a lot of goods from the market.
