About Oshodi

Yes, haggling is expected in markets, but do so politely and with a smile.

Use ride-hailing apps or public transport during off-peak hours to avoid heavy traffic.

Try suya (spiced grilled meat), jollof rice, and puff-puff (fried dough) from local vendors.

Yes, but avoid taking photos of people without their permission, as it may be considered intrusive.

Dress modestly, especially in markets and religious sites, to respect local customs.

Shop at local markets and haggle for better prices. Avoid buying from tourist-targeted stalls.

Oshodi is known for its vibrant street life and cultural festivals, such as the Eyo Festival, which occasionally takes place in Lagos.

Politeness is key. Always greet people before starting a conversation, and avoid raising your voice in public.

Use reusable bags for shopping, avoid single-use plastics, and support local artisans and eateries.

Okadas are a common mode of transport but can be risky. Use them for short distances and ensure the driver provides a helmet.
