I have come to accept that I don’t have luck when it comes to getting discounts on clothing items. My roommates told me about IJK last year and explained that they sold clothes at ridiculously low prices, think 1k – 1k5 price range. I had promised myself to visit and purchase a lot of things, but never got to it. Fast Forward to April 2014, after so much preparation and fussing, I decided to head over to IJK…and the items were now like 3k plus! 🙁
It is a very big store and they sell basically everything! Okay I’m exaggerating, but they sell quite a number of items. I got into the store and was welcomed by an angry attendant. I asked where I could get dresses my size and she just ignored me… whateverrr.. nobody can kill my vibe. So, I checked out items downstairs and picked up some things I liked. I searched for another attendant who was more helpful and directed me upstairs to pick up more items. Let me also reiterate that items were going for 3k +, so I kept on minimizing items I was picking since I had a budget.
Before going upstairs, I tried on some of the clothes I’d picked, and decided to purchase 2 out of 5 as the others didn’t fit so well. I got upstairs and saw more beautiful items! I bought leggings, a dress, sunglasses, running shoes (Goal: to lose 4 pounds this month) and shorts. Leggings and shorts range from 1k to 1k5, and dresses range from 3k to 8k and so on. Not bad at all if you ask me.
In the end, all my items cost 6,300 naira, 1,300 naira above my budget, and I don’t regret it one bit.
Overall, not a great shopping experience, but the items made up for it and I’m looking forward to returning! Head over to IJK London and buy beautiful items.

Not a fun place to shop anymore
I stopped going there when I found out the only nice employee (dark pretty lady) no longer works.. she had a nice way of helping customers get what they want.. she was polite, and very cordial. The truth is, no matter how cheap or expensive a store is, if there’s no good customer service, no customer will feel welcomed.
“The truth is, no matter how cheap or expensive a store is, if there’s no good customer service, no customer will feel welcomed”…Preach! Please tell these Nigerian establishments oh!!
poor services. The attendants just keep shouting for u to put cloths back on the hangers over and over till it becames annoying, for heavens sake we are not deaf. Then they dont even have a rest room for customers only for staff which i found highly annoying. The pos never works. Unfriendly attendants. The cloths are ok tho but its filled with short dresses and tiny strap clothes.
Ijk is d only store I knw dt inflates price during festive perios,esp. Xmas, dt’s y I cnt shop wit dem again. Their security personal r very rude,particularly a fair lady dt’s fond of shewing gum loudly disturbing d peace of client wit d sound of her bubble gum. Ijk has lost it, excpt dey try reduced their prices&get a more customer friendly staff.
I fell in love the first time I went to the shop. Good guality things, nice ambience that just screamed “shop!shop!!shop!!!” I introduced my whole family to the shop and we became like addicts.I was always dropping by to pick a shoe here, a dress there. i’m one of those mood shoppers. I used to go to shoprite but there’s food there and i’m running away from food. I went back to ijk May this year and my goodness shoes were going for 7-8k, same kind I’d gotten for 1-2k before. So, it was clear the low initial prices had been a gimmick to get customers.*sigh* Naija people sha. And no they do not have POS. So, we have stopped going there.
Its true.. They don’t have POS.. Such big store.. Cashless Nigeria indeed.
The great IJK. The thought of going there was more fun for me than the actual act…. The price had gone up way more than I was told and I could only get two items! The attendant was frowning at me also and they don’t have a POS machine so I had to go look for an ATM. Pretty annoying.
how recent was your visit? not sure which kind of store doesn’t have pos in this modern day & age…
It is quality tho. With the tag on and all. Its still extortion. ! Thieves.
I remember going to IJK when they just started, their items were really cheap. Clothhes going for 500 naira . But now , they have customers, they have now increased price, *hiss*
lolol sonia…so would you say they have quality stuff though?
