I downloaded the klasha app and used it to order an item and they've been stressing me since. The app isn't easy to use, they still have a lot of work it do. I had to complain before I was finally able to place an order. Now for my order to arrive, problem. It's 2 days past the estimated delivery date they gave me and they're telling me my order is still being processed and they're not even giving me a date when I should expect my order. The app is a good idea, but they still have to work on it.
@@halimatshaibu7205 the app is not easy to use,were you able to change to the price to NG,or its when you are about to make payment,it shows the amount in naira?
You're too creative abeg, you sabi this work 👏 But yea, the issue of harassment in many markets In this part of the world needs to be spoken about more often. Thank you for speaking about it
Thank you so much Ezinne for talking about this. I’ve stopped going to Balogun market cause of this! The catcalls, the touching, some would even insult you again for not responding 🤦🏾♀️ I’m glad that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this and regardless of how dressed down you are, they would still see you 😭 😭 😭 Thankful for vendors that take it upon themselves to do the shopping for us and for technology that helps us do our shopping online honestly, it’s a blessing.
1:04 Girl, I hated being grabbed too by the men at the Lagos market (normalised harassment), but I didn't have much of a choice then not to go into Lagos market. I had to hawk fruits in Lagos market every day from 2002 to 2006 just to be able to go to school. So girl, I am glad you talking about this. I hope to share my experience someday.
@@Pidginenglishnation Thanks, it's an emotional experience, but I will start putting a script together and see if I can get pass myself but once again, thank you.
Hi Ezinne 💫 I live in Kaduna and it’s honestly same here. I legit have to look for the baggiest, ugliest clothes when I go to the market because I don’t want to be touched or seen. I don’t know what it will take for this to stop cause I’m not sure they understand how traumatising it is . But thanks for sharing and spreading more light on this 🤍
Ezinne! Thank you for bringing up this topic. I naturally don't appreciate physical touch from strangers, no matter how little but you see at Balogun market they act like it's their right to touch you. You complain and they flare up like your body isn't yours. It's so terrible and I'm glad you brought this up. I have experienced it too many times so I decided I'll stick to shopping online and if I can't afford it then it's not time to buy it yet. I'll definitely check out Klasha!
Dyggg. There was one time we went to shop for school clothes for my sister and one man was touching her she now snapped at him and he was angry. One of the women now had to shout at him that if he didn't want that reaction, why did he touch her in the first place
Same here It can be really irritating. I remember once going to mile 1 market (in PortHarcourt, Rivers State) with my mum and immediate younger sister. They started touching us and my mum kept warning them but they didn't listen. She got really upset and slapped one of them. Nobody dared touch us till we left the market.
When going to the market especially Lagos and Yaba,i always make sure that I have someone with me, either my mom, sister or friends. It's so sad how harassment has become a norm in Nigeria. PS ; I'm a real one 😂, i really love your haul
It is so appalling 🤦🏾♀️, few days back, I was going somewhere and following the market route would obviously be way shorter but when I remembered how I’d get harassed, I chose to take the longer route🤦🏾♀️, as ladies when we try to even talk to them or shun them, they begin to jest at you, this topic needs to be addressed honestly, thank you for this Ezinne.
Ezinne your videos are so creative and so thoughtful. Who could have thought that a haul can still be used to tell a very sensitive and true story. The excellence of God’s spirit for witty inventions 😍. I Love it, I love you ❤️
Thanks for addressing this topic cause whattttttt!!! I grew up in Abuja and never really experienced the grabbing but when I moved to Ibadan I started experiencing it and it wasn't just in the market,infact it was rarely in the market,I could be walking on the street to the nearby restaurant and they'll not only grab me or stylishly touch me , some of them have tried holding me to a halt in ways I'll have to struggle myself out of their grip..... This shouldn't be normalized💔
This nonsense happens a lot in a lot of markets. There was one time when I was still in school. I went to Yaba and I was just smiling at everyone, my first mistake. I left feeling dirty and harrassed. Like I got home and I had to bath immediately I felt so uncomfortable
Because of this video and the timeliness, I’m convinced God knows my needs. I’ve been looking for the best way to shop. I’m always shopping from multiple stores on IG and spending a lot on delivery. Especially with personal shoppers but this looks like a great solution for a girl like me that has cancelled going to balogun market alone. God bless you Ezinne.
This is relateable, I remember being at Yaba and my sis having to threaten a guy that wouldn't let go of me (a minor at that time can you imagine!) saying she'd call soldiers to beat him up. That's when he received sense. Thank you Ezinne for bringing this up.
Honestly Ezinne, I understand what you're talking about very well. Even with the fact that I'm a guy, there's still a lot of cat-calling, and trailing. I always go with my mum and even though she's still with me, there are still times when they'll grab my hands or my mum's and will be forcing us to come to their shops. And in all honesty it's just so uncomfortable, because I really don't like people touching me without permission. I really, really dislike it and I feel like they're just invading my privacy, which is something that is very important to me. I just don't know why they can't leave us alone. You see guys that say it's not that bad and you ladies are overreacting just don't know what they are saying. It's sad that the harassment has become so normalized. It's just sad and frustrating, because we all want to be safe and have a sense of security, but they see it as so normal to give us the exact opposite of what we want. But thanks a lot Ezinne, for addressing this issue.
I typically go to Lagos market with my dad. The last time I went though, it was with my mum. The grabbing, catcalling, all of that was just a lot for me. It was then I realized that in going with my father, that male presence had shielded me from the harassment. I don't think I'll be going there without a male presence henceforth
I literally wear shirts covering my entire arm when going to the market even under the hot weather.. I dislike people touching me anyhow. It's really annoying. A bath once I get home is a must for me!! Enjoyed the video anyways!!
I’ve definitely experienced this in Lagos markets. It’s so frustrating. I became hardened and started giving men death stares lol. But I feel you on not wanting to go alone anymore. I usually don’t go unless my mom comes with me 🙈
I love love love this video❤😍 I thought I was the only one that's very mindful of layering properly. This harassment that we face is very annoying and makes me feel very unsafe. I actually don't like going out or being on the streets for whatever reason just because of this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and how you feel with us❤
I always get angry whenever I go to that market because they will be touching you almost everytime and I'm like.....you can talk with your mouth you don't have to touch me. It's disgusting and some of them will even go on to insult you
My dear, I can't explain the things that have happened to me inside market. One chased me in the market for no reason, someone hit my bum once, an police man was there and he did nothing. Now I just slap their hands and shout at them
That video in the beginning was so triggering, I hope things change soon because the way harassment is so normalized is so disgusting. Enjoyed the video as always , storytelling on a 100👏🏽
This video is so true. I don’t know how many times I’ve been harassed in the market as a 17 year old. Hopefully, more awareness would be created and things would be better.
This is a regular experience whenever I go to Ogbete Main Market in Enugu. At one time, I was even insulted for speaking out. I almost always dread going to that market but I don't have much of a choice. By the way, you look amaayyyzzing Ezinne😍😍😍!!!!
It is so sad to see what others go through and sometimes it's such a shock to think we are all in Africa. As a human, I think it should be hard and bad to see someone being hurt in any way. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Ezinne! Such a lovely video. People have also normalized the perception that if you can't handle the market harassment or drama, it means you're not hard or ajepako enough. So we see women wanting to be tough and harsh intentionally to deal with this as well. I hope, like you said, more awareness is brought to this and the "normalisation" is brought to null.
I can relate , lm not a nigerian but a Cameroon and here in the central market of Douala they do THE SAME thing , I think mynicipalities and marketing manager should create a mini course to educate sellers , there is a difference between harassment and marketing !
@@EzinneZara thanks for replying love the concept of your videos... Ill like to ask you some questions privately about my christian life so can I send you a dm on twitter or instagram?
The touching of a thing is just to annoying, nor just @lagos, but even at where I am. Now, I just move as far as possible, or they walking in two's, change my facial expression 😂😂😂😂 or just try to call my nerves, put on boldness, and snap at them..lol😩. And, I love the way you share other part of your lifestyle, showing you're a human being too, and not just the spirituality aspect...not everyone has the boldness to do all these ♥️♥️ I commend you greatly, sister Ezinne 😍😍😍😍😍 God bless you, much love.
Thank you for sharing ma The funny thing is it doesn't only happen in Lagos I have experienced it in every city I have stayed in Nigeria and its the way the guys don't see anything wrong in it for me. Sometimes they even make you feel like the sinner or weird one when you try to avoid their touch and all and sometimes you go home overwhelmed, guilty, dirty... after all the hassle in the market and very reluctant to go the next time like you would prefer to starve than going to the market. Nigeria my country! Thank you so much for lending your voice ma😘
Omo I can definitely relate. Every time I go to Lagos market it's such a terrible experience. Men dragging and pulling you saying "fine girl you wan buy jeans" it's honestly so annoying and frustrating. I went to yaba market one time and a guy said to me "Omo this one go sweet in bed o" . Was thinking of going to Lagos island tomorrow but I'm honestly rethinking it because is the stress even worth it? Bruh, it's so so frustrating.
It feels like with every video you release, the more I enjoy your content and just enjoy you and that's on you being yourself and just living your life, which I absolutely love. Keep being the woman God has called you to be, Ezinne. It hurts my heart to see that harassment in the market place not getting the attention it deserves. People need to be educated to be protected and prevent these things from happening.
It’s not easy a all. My friend @ammyj and I have been doing market Vlogs showing people where to shop wholesale from. It hasn’t been easy but I know people need to be careful when they go there
Honestly so happy about this video, I ignored it the first time I saw it then God reminded me of it when I walked through one of my city markets in Lusaka Zambia and I was surprised that I wasn't harassed today, I'm sure the people I told thought I was joking but it's sad how normal being harassed has become
Omorrr I can totally relate to this. I legit always think that they'll eventually leave if you don't pay attention to them but they don't so on one occasion I had to shout at the man and my dad knows that I don't shout normally so he had to turn back to send the man away. This is why I avoid going to the market at all cost now. I just buy clothes from school for now and after uni I will just be buying clothes from my friends that sell clothes
My man doesn’t understand why I shop online till date, I hate going to the market o, the touching, following , harassment in all those markets ehn , I can’t deal o, I only go to the market when I really have no other option
I didn't grow up in Lagos but in a small town in Naija. I can relate to this too well even as a teenager, a child for goodness sake. But I also looked like I was ready to fight if anyone touched me lol 😂. My mum was with me most of the time - I also noticed that they hardly harassed her.
I also get upset when someone touches in any way even following me i feel like i can even slap them i like the song i enjoy it when we sing it in our chapel💓
I don't live in Lagos, I live in the East and I know this definitely happens in a lot of markets. The crude remarks some them make is something else. Lol, one legit said that I can't be a good wife material 😂, I 'look' like girls that party all the time. Mind you I was decently dressed...in my head it was like does your opinion matter sir?
It's a really sensitive topic to be honest.always hated the Lagos market too as a child.but now I still do cos Don't really have a choice.ive grown a tough skin for the market now by frowning my face and threatening to slap anyone that touches me shaking their filthy hands off.Omo they now know who not to mess with.its the act I HV to put up wen going to market(my AGBERO look😂)cos once they site you're an AJEBO or COOL KID they'll be misbehaving.its not funny tho..things have to change.the street is crazy
Omg, I can relate to this sooo much, especially the dressing down part. I don't go to Balogun often, but that Tejuosho eh.. It's just tiring. When you don't respond to them, they'll start making comments about how you're not fine, and other really dumb stuff. I usually ignore them, but I've yelled at one once, I think. I've been avoiding the market lately though, because it's even more chaotic now that the roads are being repaired. Anyways, thank you for talking about this, Ezinne, and I really loveee your new clothes.
Your story telling skills! I enjoyed this video and HMMM! Going to the market is something I get my mind ready for because I like to TRY out clothes. But it’s not easy at allllll! Yaba & Balogun boys are always doing the most. It’s insane!
I have been to the market once and a young man smacked my bum, It was so embarrassing ehhh I was a minor, about 14 or 15 then I hate going to market with my entire life just that most of these online shops are expensive and might not give exactly what you want
It's soooo traumatizing Nne! I'd have to dress like a tomboy, have my mother's dead stares fully charged, no smiles for anybody and, I must eat well before I embark on that journey because damn if you're not ready to switch it up for them they'll do you anyhow. It's very sad!
Really grateful for this video. I can't remember the last time I went to balogun or yaba because of the constant harassment. I rather just shop online or at a nearby store. Thank you.
It's annoying and irritating, Balogun especially. It's a nerve wrecking experience, everytime I have to go to the market like today and now they've upgraded to calling you 'ashawo' if you dare complain about the grabbing. God will help us
Hey hey! I hope that you are well! I am so sorry you experienced all that you did at the market, I pray that God continues to protect you and guides you to a safer market in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏾 I loved the things you brought from the store but I couldn’t hear anything you were saying during the haul. I wanted to also say you have been a blessing to my life of following the ways of God & the truth of the Gospel 🙏🏾 I pray that may He continue to use you to reach the lost souls and those that have gone astray in the church, may God bless you & your husband, protect & guide you in your marriage 🥰🙏🏾I pray for more good health, be healed in Jesus name, for strength, joy, peace, wisdom, discernment, courage, more faith, determination, holiness, more hearing from Him, honesty, patience, receiving His Love, Self control, seeking Him, more self care, more help with temptations, more trust in Him, more trusting in his victory, more waiting on his timing, more walking in love, deepen the knowledge of Him, revelation of his word and Him to draw closer to you, May His will be done in your life in Jesus name 🙏🏾 I command all anger, compromise, emotions, discouragement and despair, fear, guilt and condemnation, unforgiveness to go, pride, rejection, selfishness, stress, self-exalting to all go in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏾 I definitely know God led me to you, I came across your videos not that long ago as I watched the consecrated life, seek first his kingdom, waiting on God the one you did with your friend & loved your recent one on obedience, this is really important God has been speaking to me on obedience and this is how we should live by faith and obedience, paying the price Christ didn’t die for our sins for nothing, we can’t just accept him and go back to the world which he saved us from which was sending us to hell, it is completely coming out of the world and giving ourselves devotedly to God, repenting of our sins, living holy as he is holy and following him as he leads no matter what. Thank you for your obedience 🥰🙏🏾 xx
Wow. I never knew it was this big. Thank you for the awareness. It is an issue and it is high time it was addressed. I have always hated going to the market the pushing, pulling and harassment. Thank you for recommending Klasha, I have lately become an online shopper and looking for great options👍💕
My favorite part is where you spoke about the bra outline, I’m always conscious of it as well and I use singlets for it. Although, it’s not usually so comfortable because of the weather sometimes, sweats and all, but I believe it’s worth it.
This is the norms in lagos market so embarrassing, even at the car park too until I moved to Abuja and realised that I have been in a jungle all this while....shopping online is truly BAE in a city like Lagos..I was born and breed in lagos, but I have never missed that Place one second, just do all you can to enjoy the place of your habitation..will download the app ASAP. THANKS AGAIN
Ezinne God bless you for finally pointing this out, it's so annoying!. Even with my mother with me, these men will hold my hands and drag me into their shops forcefully and I hate contact with my skin.. you can imagine the number of persons they have touched or what they have touched!!. My mom would always stay behind me because of that incident, the harassment is real. Thank you I really enjoyed the video, watched it twice and I love your taste of clothes and your choice of making life easy technologically. Yes!!!, I have been laughed at actually by female roommate in school, because of the layering under my top( singlets, camisole). I am glad you are in the same page, so glad thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It’s very terrible I hate it SO much! I have to shout at them sometimes to leave me alone or ignore them sometimes Honestly it can be very draining and annoying .it’s so crazy!!
I grew up in Osun State and it was a thing! Definitely not as traumatic because there were only certain areas of the market in my town where it'd happen (typically in the 'wears' section) and the harassment wasn't as bad as it seems to be in Lagos markets. Whew!
I thank God for all your lives on here, may God bless you all. I pray for God to give you more wisdom, discernment, courage, boldness, contentment, control, determination, encouragement, comfort, peace, joy, love, favor healing in any areas of your life and in your mind & body, more grace, more walking in love, more hope, hearing His voice, more joy in giving, holiness, his guidance, his will to be done in your life, more humility, honesty, patience, power, increase in prayer, supplying all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus, I pray for his protection, receiving more of his love, deepen understanding of Him & His Word and who you are in Christ, more obedience, more faith, self control, protection from temptation, more self care, more trust, more waiting on his timing and the spirit of worship, more courage to be his vessel and I command all fear, anxiety, depression, emotions, unforgiveness, guilt and condemnation, pride, selfishness, self exalting, laziness and passivity, loneliness, rejection, stress, anger, bitterness and all negative things spoken over them to go in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏾 God bless you all xx
Quite insightful I must say…Thank you for throwing light on this subject, the idea of dressing down never worked. Now I have resorted to responding to each and everyone, but hey I know you might think, this is ridiculous! Yea it is, cos it tires me out.😌 Honestly, these men acts as objects of distractions, they make the decision making process much more cumbersome, I mean the constant “nne what do you want” “I have this, I have that”, leaves one drained!
Thank you very much Ezinne for talking about this. It's really disheartening we have to face this despite us ''dressing well''. I really enjoyed watching this video as always 😊😊❤️.
Omo...the part where that man kept following Ezinne trying to convince her to buy what she doesn't want to buy got me laughing 😂😂😂...mhen😂😂😂 Plus the way Ezinne just crossed to the other side of the road trying to avoid him😂😂😂 It just reminded me of my last experience at the same market😭😂...I mean I was tired of saying "I'm not here to buy anything (I was actually there with a friend to see a couple who will be getting married)....omo, these guys won't leave me o🤲🏼😂 ,the moment one leaves another one will start to engage me in a conversation that I don't want to be part of....they now sperated I and my friend... different people, trying to convince us to buy clothes 🤲🏼😭😂😂😂
While you're talking I'm getting agitated and extremely annoyed because these things are still happening and they're bringing me flashbacks making me soooooo angry. Leaving the house knowing that you're most likely to be harassed is more stressful than going out in the first place. I live in Port Harcourt and it's the same story.. it gets worse because when they see that you're a bit difficult they flare up and insult u 🤦♀️why am I so angry right now?? When will these harassment stop??
Thank you for this video Ezinne, these men feel it's so normal to do these things 🤧 I hate going to the market too cos your ordeal in Lagos market is same here in Ariaria maket or Ahia ohuru in Aba. (A try on haul video would be really nice) thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Yessssss Haul, please! 👌💖 The market harassment is a general naija thing. I basically scream them down everything. These Men in the market can just creep you out. It's well, Nigeria go better!
As always, I enjoyed every bit of this video You keep getting better and I’m absolutely here for it!😻 Thank you for lending your voice too, hopefully things change soon 🥲

I can imagine *sigh :(
I just got back from Balogun market now, experienced it today. Those guys doesn't even feel like it's a bad thing.
Nope! It’s as natural as breathing 😭

This is an investment in the earth of stories.

This harassment that we face is very annoying and makes me feel very unsafe. I actually don't like going out or being on the streets for whatever reason just because of this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and how you feel with us❤

Undergarment layering reminds of being in boarding school. Lol, still do it too!
That video in the beginning was so triggering, I hope things change soon because the way harassment is so normalized is so disgusting.
Enjoyed the video as always , storytelling on a 100👏🏽
Yes :( and thank you!
As in!! Storing telling on a 100!!
This video is so true. I don’t know how many times I’ve been harassed in the market as a 17 year old. Hopefully, more awareness would be created and things would be better.
This is a regular experience whenever I go to Ogbete Main Market in Enugu. At one time, I was even insulted for speaking out. I almost always dread going to that market but I don't have much of a choice.
By the way, you look amaayyyzzing Ezinne😍😍😍!!!!
I love the way you bring in the brands you’re working for. It’s so seamless and genuine
Ezinne’s storytelling skill should be dissected and studied cause you won’t even know this is an ad. So good👏🏼
It is so sad to see what others go through and sometimes it's such a shock to think we are all in Africa. As a human, I think it should be hard and bad to see someone being hurt in any way. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Ezinne! Such a lovely video. People have also normalized the perception that if you can't handle the market harassment or drama, it means you're not hard or ajepako enough. So we see women wanting to be tough and harsh intentionally to deal with this as well. I hope, like you said, more awareness is brought to this and the "normalisation" is brought to null.
Oh my, yes to women being pushed to be tough and harsh to survive :(
Very relatable
But I still have to go cause of fabric shopping in large quantities and co.
It's tiring shouting at them everything
Everytime
I can relate , lm not a nigerian but a Cameroon and here in the central market of Douala they do THE SAME thing , I think mynicipalities and marketing manager should create a mini course to educate sellers , there is a difference between harassment and marketing !
Yes thank you so much im not in Nigeria but where i leave its not only in the market even on the pathways but thank u for the message God bless
Ezinne you won't kill me. You legit said "Is this a sign to get a record deal'
😂😂😂
As a nigerian who use to live, work and do everything in lagos I understand perfectly the mental stress lagos brings to our lives..
Honestly…
@@EzinneZara thanks for replying love the concept of your videos... Ill like to ask you some questions privately about my christian life so can I send you a dm on twitter or instagram?
The touching of a thing is just to annoying, nor just @lagos, but even at where I am.
Now, I just move as far as possible, or they walking in two's, change my facial expression 😂😂😂😂 or just try to call my nerves, put on boldness, and snap at them..lol😩.
And, I love the way you share other part of your lifestyle, showing you're a human being too, and not just the spirituality aspect...not everyone has the boldness to do all these ♥️♥️
I commend you greatly, sister Ezinne 😍😍😍😍😍 God bless you, much love.
What are the odds that I saw this video just as I was considering going to Balogun Market?
Thank you for this Ezinne
Thank you for sharing ma
The funny thing is it doesn't only happen in Lagos
I have experienced it in every city I have stayed in Nigeria and its the way the guys don't see anything wrong in it for me.
Sometimes they even make you feel like the sinner or weird one when you try to avoid their touch and all and sometimes you go home overwhelmed, guilty, dirty... after all the hassle in the market and very reluctant to go the next time like you would prefer to starve than going to the market.
Nigeria my country!
Thank you so much for lending your voice ma😘
Yes! 😭
Omo I can definitely relate. Every time I go to Lagos market it's such a terrible experience. Men dragging and pulling you saying "fine girl you wan buy jeans" it's honestly so annoying and frustrating. I went to yaba market one time and a guy said to me "Omo this one go sweet in bed o" . Was thinking of going to Lagos island tomorrow but I'm honestly rethinking it because is the stress even worth it? Bruh, it's so so frustrating.
It feels like with every video you release, the more I enjoy your content and just enjoy you and that's on you being yourself and just living your life, which I absolutely love. Keep being the woman God has called you to be, Ezinne. It hurts my heart to see that harassment in the market place not getting the attention it deserves. People need to be educated to be protected and prevent these things from happening.
Thank you so much 🥺 & yes, they need to be educated and the 2018 Market March tried to do this
It’s not easy a all. My friend @ammyj and I have been doing market Vlogs showing people where to shop wholesale from. It hasn’t been easy but I know people need to be careful when they go there
Thank you Ezinne for the Klisha App plug! Also this video was very fun to watch while still handling a very serious topic.💕
Honestly so happy about this video, I ignored it the first time I saw it then God reminded me of it when I walked through one of my city markets in Lusaka Zambia and I was surprised that I wasn't harassed today, I'm sure the people I told thought I was joking but it's sad how normal being harassed has become
Omorrr I can totally relate to this. I legit always think that they'll eventually leave if you don't pay attention to them but they don't so on one occasion I had to shout at the man and my dad knows that I don't shout normally so he had to turn back to send the man away. This is why I avoid going to the market at all cost now. I just buy clothes from school for now and after uni I will just be buying clothes from my friends that sell clothes
My man doesn’t understand why I shop online till date, I hate going to the market o, the touching, following , harassment in all those markets ehn , I can’t deal o, I only go to the market when I really have no other option
I didn't grow up in Lagos but in a small town in Naija. I can relate to this too well even as a teenager, a child for goodness sake. But I also looked like I was ready to fight if anyone touched me lol 😂. My mum was with me most of the time - I also noticed that they hardly harassed her.
The angle of this video rings so deep. Absolutely hate those nasty market experiences.
Such a great storytelling technique! I love how this isn’t so OVERTLY commercial. More wins in Jesus name. Amen ❤️
I also get upset when someone touches in any way even following me i feel like i can even slap them i like the song i enjoy it when we sing it in our chapel💓
2:25 this exact situation happened to my mum and I 😢
I don't live in Lagos, I live in the East and I know this definitely happens in a lot of markets. The crude remarks some them make is something else. Lol, one legit said that I can't be a good wife material 😂, I 'look' like girls that party all the time. Mind you I was decently dressed...in my head it was like does your opinion matter sir?
What kind of statement is that? 😩
It's a really sensitive topic to be honest.always hated the Lagos market too as a child.but now I still do cos Don't really have a choice.ive grown a tough skin for the market now by frowning my face and threatening to slap anyone that touches me shaking their filthy hands off.Omo they now know who not to mess with.its the act I HV to put up wen going to market(my AGBERO look😂)cos once they site you're an AJEBO or COOL KID they'll be misbehaving.its not funny tho..things have to change.the street is crazy
Omg, I can relate to this sooo much, especially the dressing down part. I don't go to Balogun often, but that Tejuosho eh.. It's just tiring. When you don't respond to them, they'll start making comments about how you're not fine, and other really dumb stuff. I usually ignore them, but I've yelled at one once, I think. I've been avoiding the market lately though, because it's even more chaotic now that the roads are being repaired. Anyways, thank you for talking about this, Ezinne, and I really loveee your new clothes.
Your story telling skills! I enjoyed this video and HMMM! Going to the market is something I get my mind ready for because I like to TRY out clothes. But it’s not easy at allllll! Yaba & Balogun boys are always doing the most. It’s insane!
It’s very sad that we have to look for alternatives to something as basic as going to the market just because we’re women
I have been to the market once and a young man smacked my bum,
It was so embarrassing ehhh I was a minor, about 14 or 15 then
I hate going to market with my entire life just that most of these online shops are expensive and might not give exactly what you want
It's soooo traumatizing Nne!
I'd have to dress like a tomboy, have my mother's dead stares fully charged, no smiles for anybody and, I must eat well before I embark on that journey because damn if you're not ready to switch it up for them they'll do you anyhow. It's very sad!
Sigh :(
Oh mi mi! I'm so downloading klasha
Really grateful for this video. I can't remember the last time I went to balogun or yaba because of the constant harassment. I rather just shop online or at a nearby store.
Thank you.
It's annoying and irritating, Balogun especially. It's a nerve wrecking experience, everytime I have to go to the market like today and now they've upgraded to calling you 'ashawo' if you dare complain about the grabbing. God will help us
Hey hey! I hope that you are well! I am so sorry you experienced all that you did at the market, I pray that God continues to protect you and guides you to a safer market in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏾 I loved the things you brought from the store but I couldn’t hear anything you were saying during the haul. I wanted to also say you have been a blessing to my life of following the ways of God & the truth of the Gospel 🙏🏾
I pray that may He continue to use you to reach the lost souls and those that have gone astray in the church, may God bless you & your husband, protect & guide you in your marriage 🥰🙏🏾I pray for more good health, be healed in Jesus name, for strength, joy, peace, wisdom, discernment, courage, more faith, determination, holiness, more hearing from Him, honesty, patience, receiving His Love, Self control, seeking Him, more self care, more help with temptations, more trust in Him, more trusting in his victory, more waiting on his timing, more walking in love, deepen the knowledge of Him, revelation of his word and Him to draw closer to you, May His will be done in your life in Jesus name 🙏🏾 I command all anger, compromise, emotions, discouragement and despair, fear, guilt and condemnation, unforgiveness to go, pride, rejection, selfishness, stress, self-exalting to all go in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏾
I definitely know God led me to you, I came across your videos not that long ago as I watched the consecrated life, seek first his kingdom, waiting on God the one you did with your friend & loved your recent one on obedience, this is really important God has been speaking to me on obedience and this is how we should live by faith and obedience, paying the price Christ didn’t die for our sins for nothing, we can’t just accept him and go back to the world which he saved us from which was sending us to hell, it is completely coming out of the world and giving ourselves devotedly to God, repenting of our sins, living holy as he is holy and following him as he leads no matter what.
Thank you for your obedience 🥰🙏🏾 xx
Wow. I never knew it was this big. Thank you for the awareness. It is an issue and it is high time it was addressed. I have always hated going to the market the pushing, pulling and harassment. Thank you for recommending Klasha, I have lately become an online shopper and looking for great options👍💕
My favorite part is where you spoke about the bra outline, I’m always conscious of it as well and I use singlets for it. Although, it’s not usually so comfortable because of the weather sometimes, sweats and all, but I believe it’s worth it.
Yeah, sometimes it gets hot 😄
Loved the story telling and the editing in this video btw!! 😻I felt like I was following through with your experiences!!
Thank youuuu 🥺🤍🤍🤍
I think almost everyone that shops at Lagos markets can relate to this.
Your storytelling 💯
I totally love love the white tee you got
💜💜
Thank you!
This is the norms in lagos market so embarrassing, even at the car park too until I moved to Abuja and realised that I have been in a jungle all this while....shopping online is truly BAE in a city like Lagos..I was born and breed in lagos, but I have never missed that Place one second, just do all you can to enjoy the place of your habitation..will download the app ASAP. THANKS AGAIN
Ezinne God bless you for finally pointing this out, it's so annoying!. Even with my mother with me, these men will hold my hands and drag me into their shops forcefully and I hate contact with my skin.. you can imagine the number of persons they have touched or what they have touched!!. My mom would always stay behind me because of that incident, the harassment is real. Thank you I really enjoyed the video, watched it twice and I love your taste of clothes and your choice of making life easy technologically. Yes!!!, I have been laughed at actually by female roommate in school, because of the layering under my top( singlets, camisole). I am glad you are in the same page, so glad thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
🤍🤍🤍
Thank youuuuuu!!!!!!!!!. Seeing congratulations from TH-cam because of you is soooo amazing 💖💖😭
It’s very terrible I hate it SO much!
I have to shout at them sometimes to leave me alone or ignore them sometimes
Honestly it can be very draining and annoying .it’s so crazy!!
I grew up in Osun State and it was a thing! Definitely not as traumatic because there were only certain areas of the market in my town where it'd happen (typically in the 'wears' section) and the harassment wasn't as bad as it seems to be in Lagos markets. Whew!
I thank God for all your lives on here, may God bless you all. I pray for God to give you more wisdom, discernment, courage, boldness, contentment, control, determination, encouragement, comfort, peace, joy, love, favor healing in any areas of your life and in your mind & body, more grace, more walking in love, more hope, hearing His voice, more joy in giving, holiness, his guidance, his will to be done in your life, more humility, honesty, patience, power, increase in prayer, supplying all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus, I pray for his protection, receiving more of his love, deepen understanding of Him & His Word and who you are in Christ, more obedience, more faith, self control, protection from temptation, more self care, more trust, more waiting on his timing and the spirit of worship, more courage to be his vessel and I command all fear, anxiety, depression, emotions, unforgiveness, guilt and condemnation, pride, selfishness, self exalting, laziness and passivity, loneliness, rejection, stress, anger, bitterness and all negative things spoken over them to go in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏾 God bless you all xx
Hello Ezinne☺️ I've missed you so much... I've not seen your videos for awhile now.
That market disturbance is not nice at all. Sometimes if you follow some to recommended shops it will even be more expensive. Nice vlog
Your video quality is just soooo doooopeeeee...love your videos Ezinne...waiting for another midnight rant though😅
Last week in the market sef... one was literally dragging me and said give me a kiss ... automatic slap ...like reflex action
Chaii thank you so much for projecting this becauseeeee😩
“Thingies”😂 everyone always looks at me like a baby when a say that🤭😂 but now I have a buddy🥹🤗
Paused the video to say .. your content is indescribable in a good way. No exaggerations.. I love them so much!
Awww thank you 🥺🤍
I go to the market with a lot of pins as they are touching me, I'm using the pins the injure them
This was such a beautiful video Ezinne. From you...to the story... the way you linked it with the klasha ad... Weldone Ezinne! You're indeed a gift🙏
Thank you!
Quite insightful I must say…Thank you for throwing light on this subject, the idea of dressing down never worked.
Now I have resorted to responding to each and everyone, but hey I know you might think, this is ridiculous! Yea it is, cos it tires me out.😌
Honestly, these men acts as objects of distractions, they make the decision making process much more cumbersome, I mean the constant “nne what do you want” “I have this, I have that”, leaves one drained!
Honestly! I feel so drained after a visit to Balogun
@@EzinneZara Thank Goodness, Klasha app is here to save one the stress. And thank you Ezinne, for letting us know about it.😊
Most of us can relate...
I need this waist cinching thingy..
Thank you very much Ezinne for talking about this. It's really disheartening we have to face this despite us ''dressing well''. I really enjoyed watching this video as always 😊😊❤️.
Omo...the part where that man kept following Ezinne trying to convince her to buy what she doesn't want to buy got me laughing 😂😂😂...mhen😂😂😂
Plus the way Ezinne just crossed to the other side of the road trying to avoid him😂😂😂
It just reminded me of my last experience at the same market😭😂...I mean I was tired of saying "I'm not here to buy anything (I was actually there with a friend to see a couple who will be getting married)....omo, these guys won't leave me o🤲🏼😂 ,the moment one leaves another one will start to engage me in a conversation that I don't want to be part of....they now sperated I and my friend... different people, trying to convince us to buy clothes 🤲🏼😭😂😂😂
Honestly I was weak 😂😭
It’s Same in main market onitsha..so horrible
While you're talking I'm getting agitated and extremely annoyed because these things are still happening and they're bringing me flashbacks making me soooooo angry.
Leaving the house knowing that you're most likely to be harassed is more stressful than going out in the first place. I live in Port Harcourt and it's the same story.. it gets worse because when they see that you're a bit difficult they flare up and insult u 🤦♀️why am I so angry right now?? When will these harassment stop??
Thank you for this video Ezinne, these men feel it's so normal to do these things 🤧 I hate going to the market too cos your ordeal in Lagos market is same here in Ariaria maket or Ahia ohuru in Aba. (A try on haul video would be really nice) thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in shock 😮😮😮
Shopping in the Lagos Island is very stressful and frustrating 😣
Honestly
Thank you for this info. I live in Rivers state do I don't even know that this happens. I'm sorry for this! The clothes are pretty.
I love the documentary / Sensitization at the beginning of this Video
Lovely video I really enjoyed watching the Cloth haul, you got amazing Items ❤️
This happens even in Ph here, I get scared going to the market alone, even if you're with someone they don't care. Storytelling on point as usual 😍
Yes! especially Mile one market
@@wobochioma1825 Yes o Mile 3 is much better but mile 1 if you complain it becomes worse
Yessssss Haul, please! 👌💖
The market harassment is a general naija thing. I basically scream them down everything. These Men in the market can just creep you out. It's well, Nigeria go better!
😂😂😂 “scream them down”
@@EzinneZara yesso!!! Nor be me dem go stress! 😫
As always, I enjoyed every bit of this video
You keep getting better and I’m absolutely here for it!😻
Thank you for lending your voice too, hopefully things change soon 🥲
U tell stories the very right way. Love you.
Honestly, the harassment is too much. These shameless men touch ladies anywhere.
Not me saying I’ll come to say I want haul and you actually did one. My smile when you said you are a real one @5:12
