Steemit Engagement Challenge S4-W1|Traditional Retail Shopping :shopping in ipata market. By @ishayachris
No doubt, covid19 pandemic have affected thousands of business around the world. It has also affected the economic growth of almost every nation around the world. In support of the growth of those retail businesses that have been affected by covid19, I will be reviewing one of the retail market in my state.
According to history, ipata market was established in 1987. It is known as the largest and one of the oldest market in Ilorin, kwara state, Nigeria. People come from different part of the state to buy products in ipata market because, it is a market where every kind of food items are sold.

In ipata market, you can find all kinds of vegetables, rice, meat, beans, egg, bread, clothes, noodles, maggi, salt, etc. Because of the kind of product's that can be found in ipata market, the market use to be full with people. In the market, you can buy products both on retail and wholesale price, it all depend on the amount of goods you are buying.
Below I present to you the list of some items that can be found in the market, and their prices.

| Rice | 2,000 | 12.35 |
| Apple | 500 | 3.10 |

If you look at the prices of the items above, you will notice that the goods are not really expensive. With little amount of money, you can get one or two things to take home. I guarantee you that no one goes to ipata market and complains about the prices of goods.
Why I like buying goods from traditional retail, especially ipata.
- The sallers are extremely friendly with their customers
- Prices of goods are always cheat compare to modern markets
- Bargain is allowed between the sallers and the buyers
- They can be found almost everywhere on our streets
- Different varieties of goods can be found in retail market

Good post to read about another good Market place in the world. Ipata market seems full of stuffs to purchase, and helping place for customers. So customer do not feel bored. I see that Naira is very much high and steem is low. That's mean Naira is still struggling currency just like PKR.
