Badagry
is on the outskirts of Lagos. Precisely, it is located between the
cosmopolitan city of Lagos and Nigeria’s border with the Republic of
Benin. This location has perhaps made it a bit difficult for tourists
and Lagosians to check out this tourist’s haven. In addition, Badagry is
not situated in Lagos’s choice areas like Victoria Island, Lekki,
Ikeja, and Ikoyi.
Notwithstanding
where you reside in Lagos, Badagry is a delightful and wonderful place
to visit. We roll out some reasons that will no doubt spur you to pack
your luggage and travel to Badagry. Don’t forget to book your hotel on Jumia Travel!
Relics of Slave Trade awaits you
Slavery
is a phase in Nigeria’s and Africa’s history we all want to forget.
However, this history cannot just be wished away. It happened. And it is
important to preserve this heritage. It is, therefore, important to
note that Badagry’s history is incomplete without giving a mention to
slavery. You will find relics of slavery like chains, locks, and
shackles as well as see the different slave routes (point of no return)
and slave ports. In addition to this, you will learn so much at the
Badagry slave museum, the slave families, like Mobee Royal Family, and
the Vlekete Slave Market. You will be overwhelmed!
Badagry is a virgin
Yes,
Badagry is a virgin! Unlike other cities and towns in Lagos that have
been encroached and taken over by humans, Badagry is yet to be polluted
especially, its coastlines and peninsulas remain natural,
untouched and untapped! So, it is a wonderful place to have a good time
and you are assured of the air you breathe.
It is a city of many firsts!
Badagry
has the enviable record of having many firsts compared to any other
city in Nigeria. You will find the first primary school, the first story
building in Nigeria, and the first pair of Sato drum. This should pump up your wanderlust adrenalin!
The biggest border town in Nigeria
The

from Badagry. So do you want to see the biggest border town in Nigeria?
Pack your bags and leave for Badagry now!
