Iyaloja and babaloja.
This a modern day form of slavery where a man and a woman are both coronated with the title of mother and father of the market. When they assume this position, they plant their minions at segmented parts of the market and any trader or even those who carry loads for others just to make a living will have to pay from one part to the other till you leave the market. This
happens for every business-run made in any
market where they hold sway. This has been on for sometime in Lagos State and the traders are at the receiving end of it and the painful part is that the state government is even behind them. This morning at Odunade coker market, the people who do business there awoke to the news of an imposition of iyaloja andbabaloja,even with a functional market union in
place and the local government breathing down their necks with heavy collections made daily from the traders.
APC, is this the change we voted for?
# morderndayslavery
anybody that is not in support of iyaloja or babaoloja,should go back to his or her village.these protest will change nothing

Nigerians stomping on small businesses and eventually killing it..tomorrow they'll complain of unemployment.

Lagos should take a cue from anambra state business pattern: on orie days, marketers are allowed to trade in the free-trade zone
