From dusk to dawn the market is ever busy,the African market goes beyond mere buying and selling;here emotions,gossips and everything important to the human life are traded problems of one another solved.To the African market trader money is not the main thing, important it is however the joy and happiness that comes from talking to different people,many of which you will never see is more than enough to bring one to the market everyday to sell your goods.
The noise here it is not the ordinary type,it is a mixture of expressions of buyers and sellers either happy or sad over the transactions,the noise here it is so unique,it is one innate part of the African market you cannot miss out.
Oh Africa ,from the East-West,North-South the market is different but one characteristic of the market remains the same all over and that is the simplicity of the market which is always evident despite the crowded nature of the market and this simplicity is a reflection of the understanding that flows between the buyer and seller.
(A SCENE FROM AN AFRICAN MARKET).
Each morning the markets comes to life and the spirit of the market ushers in people, guarding and directing them till late at night when it takes its leave
Every market has its own "day" on such days goods are cheaper than usual and on such days also the crowd is double the usual amount ,such market "days" bring people from far and near in the hope of getting cheaper price for goods.On such "days" the market becomes a very colourful place and the Noise is thrice the usual also.
The African market of a particular country would be a nice place for a foreigner to visit first,cause the African market is a reflection of the day to day life of the people of a particular country.The African market speaks one very clear word and that is unity,from its structure and patterns it emphasises that no one is an island and that that one needs the strength of others to survive.
One very interesting thing about the African market is that there are no fixed price for most goods and the amount of goods you purchase depends on your haggling power.Despite the noise,the ever so many people,the hustling and bustling crowd the African market brings inner peace.No matter the urbanisation taking place the African market remains,it flows with the change but forever retains its identity and essence.Watching the Sunset in an African market gives a thrill that would be hard to express with words. .Sweet Africa..
