Jibade A. ★★★★★ : You can get quality combat trousers and the prices are reasonable
Tofunmi A. ★★★★★ : I only rated this one star because it's the lowest I could give, it's a horrible place with a horrible experience for those unfortunate enough to find themselves there. With no parking space, horrible traffic on an already narrow road, with old men waiting to extort from you money for what sliver of space you find on the side of the road. I would not recommend this place at all, you can find whatever you need elsewhere.
