CHAPTER ONE 1.1 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY A market is a site where sellers and buyers assemble daily or specific days to exchange goods and services. Markets are not only important as centers for the exchange of goods, ideas and fashions but also perform significant social and political functions in the community. Moreover, exchange and subsistence activities were and still are integrated into market systems. It is important to identify the factors which enable markets to expand. These are namely.
All these factors are present on Osele market which is the subject of this essay. The concept of market is appropriate to early as well as to move recent times. That market can contract and that future trends are more a matter of speculation than of accurate prediction.2
The extent to which Osele market attracted traders not only from Akoko land but also from other places to bring out how it had contributed to the inter-group relations among the people in the pre-colonial period. Furthermore it must be stressed that there is no gain saying in the assertion that Osele market attracted traders from Akoko and yorubaland.3
