several of them, and the biggest ones are enom10us, with up to 30.000 people passing through every day. In order to keep this mass of people organized, everyone who trades in the same kind of product occupies the same general area. Dealers in the product also organize themselves into guilds, with a woman as the head. At the head of these women is another woman who serves as the " market master." These women make decisions about the day-to-day running of the market in areas like sanitation, rental charges, and fair pricing. They also see that market law is enforced.

Though social rewards may be more important to most of these women than profit, the market women in Onitsha, on the eastern banks of the Nigeria River, are famous for their skill at making large amounts of money. And they spend it in high style. They acquire servants, hire chauffeurs to drive their new caps, wear silk clothes and gold jewelry, send their children to reputable universities overseas, and influence the outcome of local elections. They do all this on money earned from a business that for them is hardly business, but a natural part of life.
