Know before you drive into a market-day jam.

On market day, the roads around a market fill with traders, buyers and loading trucks. Marketdey tells you the evening before, so you can leave early or take another road.

Market day
Afọ market · 2.4 km
Market day brings traders in from nearby farms and towns, so there's more to choose from and more room to haggle. Follow the markets near you and Marketdey tells you when each one is on.

Go to the market known for what you need.

Some markets are known for one thing, like yams in one town and fabric in the next. Search by what you want to buy, see how far it is, and arrive on the right day.

How Marketdey counts · an example
Every eighth day, whatever day of the week it falls on.
This is an example of how one market might work. Some markets in Delta State run on an eight-day cycle, so market day lands on a different weekday each time. Others keep a fixed day of the week, like every Saturday. Marketdey follows each market's own schedule and alerts you at 6 pm the evening before and 6 am the morning of.

Traders restocking
Get in, load up, get out.
Know the turn before you reach it, so you are not circling with an empty van while the good stock goes.
First-timers and people new to the city
No street names needed.
Follow the cues people actually use, like “yellow canopy on your right”, instead of addresses nobody knows.
Okada, keke and delivery riders
Stop calling for directions.
Landmarks come up in the order you pass them. Check once at a glance and keep riding.
Commuters and drivers
Slow down at the right place.
Each cue says which side and how far, so you are not braking at every junction looking for the gate.
