Aggressiveness is a way of life in Nigerian market.

One thing people have to contend with in markets like that is continues grabbing of the hand by vendors. Vendors grab your hand to get you to come buy their merchandise, you might have to be a little aggressive to get some of them off you. It’s even worse with ladies. For a foreigner it can be very offensive. They are a little less aggressive when you an Oyinbo though. Tommy might wanna know these few tips, to watch out for Jossey.
