Cotonou's Dantokpa Market is the biggest outdoor market in West Africa. It's warren of tiny crowded lanes employs thousands of men, women and children, and harbours dozens of thieves and pick-pockets. I regularly go there to find car parts and tools, and have come back unscathed so far, praise God.
Above, crowded lanes inside the market, where motorcycles and people often jostle for room.
Above, more lanes and people.
Above, a hint of the size of the market.

I thank God for John, my translator, fixer and minder. Olly
