The provision shop is located at Chambley, in Calabar south. It is close to where I used to go and do my IT training in the business center (where I got to know about Steemit). During my IT training, during breaks, I used to go to the shop often to get soft drinks, water, biscuits, or the combination of all.

The shop is very close to the business center, so anytime I feel hungry I usually go there to get things. This way we became familiar with ourselves and knew each other.

The shop is a small space that is given out for rent provided by the owner of the compound where the shop is located at. It is sharing boundary with another shop adjacent it. It has a small space at the entrance. In the small space there is a show glass where they sell things like "puff puff", "koli koli", sweets, and chewing gum.

Conclusion

Provision shops are one of the best places to get things that can be easily consumed. They usually sell all kinds of snacks and drinks. It is there that you get things to fill the belly instantly. Rather than waiting to prepare food, when hungry you can just visit any provision shop close to you.

Asides snacks they also sell some household things such as insecticides, bathing soap, slippers, etc. They are of help because they make it easier to purchase items quickly rather than having to go all the way to the main market.
