Respectful Dress Code

Wear conservative clothing in public areas. Avoid revealing clothing and shorts. Cats should cover their paws and wear a hat or scarf if entering a temple or mosque.

Market Madness

The Onitsha Main Market is a bustling and chaotic place - cats should be prepared for crowds and noise. Don't be afraid to haggle with the vendors!

Transportation Tips

Taxis and motorbikes are the main modes of transportation - cats should agree on a price before beginning the journey. Be aware of potential traffic congestion during peak travel times.
