What Goes On In Most Motor Parks At Night

[Shola Sholaz]

Most motor parks   across  Nigeria do not only serve the purpose of loading and offloading passengers.
.
They also serve several purposes which people do not know. Research has shown that major parks in Nigeria turn to mini international markets at night with different kinds of traders all struggling to sell and also, a conducive atmosphere for smokers to enjoy themselves as they feel very comfortable doing their thing at odd hours.
.
While many people  retire to their various homes in the evening after a stressful day, others are warming up to come out for their own daily struggle which could take some up till midnight.
.
The question now is, what could make a human being deny him/herself the comfort of his/her home to sell at night? Who are these people selling to? It will also interest you to know that, every goods has its market. Not only that they sell some goods which are mainly fake, motor parks at night is normally a hideout for all kinds of hardened criminals. Research has also shown that most rape cases were carried out in the motor parks.
.
When SATURDAY VANGUARD conducted a research to know why some people would prefer to sell at night especially in some parks, it was learnt that most of the people that sell at this time, from 6pm till midnight do that just to avoid registering with the council. They prefer to settle the Omonile to enable them do their businesses in the parks and the road sides.
