5. BADAGRY
The ancient town of Badagry was founded around l425 A.D. The origin of Badagry could be traced back to the period when people lived along the Coast of Gberefu and this area later gave birth to the town of Badagry. Badagry – the 2nd largest commercial town in Lagos State – is located in the western tip of Lagos city and about an hour drive from Lagos main land.

There are buildings, sites and memories of this iniquitous period so that tourists can unearth the dark impact of this era. Interesting places that can leave an unforgettable memory are:
Palace of the Akran of Badagry and its mini ethnographic museum
the early missionaries cemetery
the District Officer’s Office and Residence
the First Storey Building in Nigeria constructed by the Anglican missionaries
relics of slave chains in the mini museum of slave trade
cannons of war
the Vlekte slave Market, and the Slave Port established for the shipment of slaves before the l6th century.

Others are: the site of the famous Agia tree under which Christianity was first preached in Nigeria. Visitors will also do well to trek on the Gberefu Beach to the ‘Point of No Return’. African-Americans eager to identify with their African roots will find a great deal to connect with in Badagry. Also worth visiting are Suntan Beach, Hermitage Resort, Whispering Palms Beach Resort, Halem Seaside Resort etc.
