Bebo Kobo-Truly Inspirational


It has been rightly said that the eye of the LORD always remains upon the virtuous, and his ears are always open for their cry. In the early 1970s during the poor economic conditions of the Camden Lock village people were poor and unable to fulfill even their basic requirement. Small vendors were wandering all over to sell their eatables and other products. The economic condition of people was miserable until lord heard the cry from people and sent Bebo Kobo for the betterment of people. He invested for the people by providing them stalls to sell their product with very less cost, and free electricity and security of their things. He associated other vendors also from around who used to sell arts and crafts. This change helped the vendors to sell their merchandise peacefully without wandering. The changes kept on happening and the ugly, dirty unorganized place with wandering vendors was replaced by big show rooms and show room owners.

There are no food stalls but instead there are restaurants we see today. There are no art and crafts vendors anymore; there are art showroom now what we see today. All the credit of this development at the Camden Market goes to Bebo Kobo and his family. The economic conditions of the people have changed and their standard of living also, they have their own house and even a car. There is also an increment in the per capita income of people in London.


The Camden market status has changed completely. It is most of the time crowded by people and tourists, it is estimated that in a week there are around 50,000 visitors visiting the Camden market. The Gilgamesh restaurant is the attraction of the Camden market with a South African theme. Another restaurant that has started in the Camden market with the same theme is the Shaka Zulu restaurant. Both these restaurants remind us of the South African cuisines and drums.

Apart from restaurants there are numerous ways of entertainment at the Camden market. It won’t let you down and let you feel nostalgic at all. Thanks to Bebo Kobo!
