How are you all doing... Hope things are getting better. I remain @mbetobongluke from Nigeria and I'm super excited to participate in this contest organized by @saintkelvin17 my regards to him.

I see market as a place where we have physical demonstration/ appearance in the cost of transaction or exchange of difference goods and rendering services to the buyer.
I also see market as a place where difference people from different communites comes together in one terms or party to showcase their goods and services. Here we meet and engage in an economic transaction. market is à place where we make different transaction such as goods, services, information and even currency, or a combination of any kinds that passes from one party to another.
We also have different experiences in the cost of exchange of either goods or patronizing one party or the other.
These are place where we also get experience and get updated in the current price of things.

How often do you go to the market?

Being a boy child was one of the difficult task I experience in the cost of going to the market especially at my tender age. This was one of the things my mom deprived me of, thinking the market women will cheat me.

But as I grow up and start living on my own, it was now more or less like a difficult task for me because I was not exposed in that aspect.
As I progress in life, with the current reality of the economy in my country, which is biting hard on everyone. I then see the need of going to the market to see/experience things for myself.

My going to market was intensify by one of my female friends that said market goods are more cheaper than street shops because of the competition and numerous goods in the market. I buy to her idea, and see the need to buy from the market.
Currently, I enjoy going to the market than buying things in street shop.

I go to the market every Saturday which invariably means four (4) times in a month and I see no regret in doing this.

What's your unforgettable market experience?

My first and unfortunate experience at the market was more or less like a traveller in a strange land.
I can vivically recur that was on a rainy day. I don't really do meat, I like eating fish what ever kind of fish than meat. But this time around, I wanted buying cow meat and prepare pepper soup rice since it was very cool and that was the solution to it.
I was with 1,500 which is 6steem currently, on reaching the market to buy the meat, I found out that meat is sold in kilo in which one(1) kilo is 2,000 which is almost 8steem. I was so disappointed as I couldn't afford with the money I was with.
This was one of the unforgettable experience I had as my whole plan of cooking/eating pepper soup rice got terminated.

Tell us about 5 things in the market and their current prices.

As one who have experiences in buying foodstuff in the market. I can go on and on but for the sake of this question, I will like to follow suit.
The prices of foodstuff in my country is not certain as things keep going up day by day. Currently, I can recur what I bought of recent.
First let me start with beans.

•Beans is sold for 500 a cup which is almost 2steem

•A litter of Palm oil is sold for 1,000 which is 4steem

•Pepper can be sold at any given price starting from 200 which is not up to a steem

•Waterleaf is sold for 500 which is almost 2steem

•Yam is sold for 1500 which is 6steem depending on the size.
