History of Slave Trade in Badagry
The Slave Market in Nigeria - SHOCKING

Where the sandy bank juts out into the blue waters of the lagoon is still described as the Point of No Return - its beauty offset by its nightmare past. This is where slaves were sold and shipped to the Americas - never to see Africa again.
We call it Point-of-No-Return because past there you will not see Africa again, says CornerStone, showing us the port where the slaves boarded the slave ships for the Americas.
BattaBox reports from the Badagry Slave Museum in Nigeria which is currently undergoing rehabilitation and you can see the well that was dug by the slaves in 1847.
Figures vary considerably, but it is estimated that nearly 3 million slaves were taken from the West African region (Togo, Benin, Cameroon, etc), particularly in & around Nigeria - 11 million slaves were taken from Africa as a whole by European and Arab slavers. An estimated 30% of all slaves sold from Africa - came from the Nigeria.
Figures and report and map can be found here:
We call this one ankle shackle, says Cornerstone as he shows us a variety of historical artefacts in what was once a Barracon, which translates as slave cell in Portugues, who ran many of the early slave trading lines.
There were forty rooms in this one building alone - A minimum of 1600 slaves lived in this compound. In the 'Inspection Room' there were physical check the dental and health of the slaves - to see if the slave is healthy enough to travel.
Iron bars are on the small windows stopped anyone from escaping.
Chains were used to emasculate and imprison the slaves are still available for viewing at the museum with photos to show how they were used on Africans.
They even have an umbrella - used to shade local chiefs - that was exchanged for forty slaves, says CornerStone.
Many of the slave forts and prisons have fallen into complete disrepair along the Nigerian coast - whereas in Ghana they still stand as a testament to the horror of the years of the slave trade. But Badagry Slave Museum is now being rehabilitated.

The History of (Colonial) Atlantic Slave Trade in Africa /Nigeria
Slave Market
Fine lots of slaves for sale, men women and children not sold for any fault, but just to settle an estate. Street cries like this called customers to the slave traders to select one or two likely servants. Humane owners tried to avoid splitting up a family, but a husband might cling to his wife's hand while auctioneer's chant elicited a bid that would separate them for life. Eyrie Crowe of England tried to sketch up such scenes in Richmond in 1853, suspicious and angry dealers made him leave the market. Plantation slaves lived in crude cabins with the barest necessity of life, a little distance from the owner's residence

BADAGRY SLAVE TRADE TOUR 2018
Slave Descendants Return to Badagry
Badagry was regarded as the cradle of Christianity in Nigeria and gateway to Education. It was the first city to have a story building in Nigeria. The building was built in 1842 by the missionaries and first to be urbanized as well as a corridor for Human Livestock during the obnoxious slave trade.
Crucial to the slave trade of the period was a farm founded by a farmer, Agbede. The farm was referred to as Agbedegreme, which was later, coined into 'Agbadarigi' by the Yoruba aliens of the south-western part of Nigeria. The name was further corrupted to Badagry by the European slave merchants when the coast of Badagry was discovered and opened to the New world.
It was one of the slave deports in west Africa. It was also one of the slave coasts discovered by the Portuguese along with Whydah (now Benin Republic) where large number of slaves were exported. Slaves were also brought from all nooks and crannies of Nigeria, mostly from raided-villages. These victims or war captives were also brought to Badagry for auctioning.

Door of No Return - Ultimate anti-slavery poem. Must-watch! Try not to cry! (enable subtitles).
inspired by my visit to the Cape Coast Castle in Ghana where black people were held before being transported out of Africa in slave ships.
People of the world, we have indeed moved far along civilisation, understanding and tolerating one another's differences.
Black and White, let us all be thankful we live in a better world today.

Badagry Festival 2015… uniting the Diaspora with motherland

When Badagry Diaspora Festival 2015’s International Symposium on Toussaint L’ouverture (François Dominique Toussaint Breda) opened last Saturday at Administrative Staff College, Topo, Badagry, it was a euphoric reunion between some Diaspora members and Nigerians. It was also a moment to re-ignite the need to forge closer ties between them for the development of the motherland. The call became urgent in view of myriads of problems plaguing the motherland, with Africa’s young professionals forcibly migrating to the west through perilous routes for economic reasons that are reminiscent of the cruel Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade centuries ago. The festival also coincided with the International Day for the Remembrance of Slave Trade and its Abolition declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1988. Organised by Mr. Babatunde Olaide-Mesewaku-led African Renaissance Foundation (AREFO), Badagry Diaspora Festival 2015 had guests from Haiti, Benin Republic and Nigeria as resource persons who articulated the fundamentals of synergy between Africa Diaspora and the motherland. It was chaired by Prof. Olusola Ojo of MacPherson University, Ogun State.
Dr. Amos O. Abisoye of Department of Social Sciences of Crawford University, Ogun State, best captured the economic travails of the continent in his paper, ‘African Political Leadership and Development: The Diaspora Connection’. He’d argued, “A thin line differentiates the forced migration of the slave trade era from the rampant incidence of brain drain which is now the order of the day in Africa. The west has continued to pull out the best of Africa’s population today just as it was during the slave trade era.
“Knowledge of the quantity and quality of African professionals in the Diaspora can only lead to lamentation for our motherland. The current pain and hardships faced by Africans leave no one in doubt that if a slave ship would anchor on the Atlantic shore today, many Africans would volunteer to jump in it only to be taken to the west.”
