Protest over Imposition of “Iyaoloja” and “Babaloja” in Computer Village
There was chaos in the Computer Village , Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday after traders shut down activities to protest the planned installation of female and male market leaders “Iyaoloja” and “Babaloja” respectively in the hub.
The traders said that the market was an international market that did not need such imposition of Iyaoloja, Punch writes.
Mr Wasiu Agbaje, an Information Communication Technology (ICT) Engineer, said that hub was not like the regular markets where such should be imposed.
Agbaje said that installing such would undermine the hub because there was no relationship between technology and Iyaoloja.
“What do the Iyaoloja and Babaloja have to offer, what value are they going to add to the hub? And what technological innovations are they bringing?
‘“The computer village is not like any other street market where pepper and other things are sold.
“It is an international technology hub and it should be treated as such,” he said.
Also, a businessman who preferred anonymity said that the introduction of Iyaloja will undermine the position of
computer village internationally as the biggest technological hub in West Africa.
He said installing such Iyaoloja and Babaloja would contradict what the hub was known for and breach the peace there because it was not a regular market.
