Ikaosunwon:The Missionaries, Thomas Birch Freeman and Henry Townsend, just had Eucharist at Badagry on the 25th of December, 1842 and they moved to Abeokuta because the people of Badagry were not so receptive. |

LOC1:Abeg, na lie ooo...Thomas Birch Freeman was the first Missionary to be sent(by the Methodist/Wesleyan) and he arrived Badagry in 1842. Henry Townsend was later sent by the CMS and both of them had joint Christmas Eucharist on the 25th of December, 1842. The people of Badagry do contest with Ake because of this service. 1 Like |

Berrypie:Yes, that's true. According to Historians, it was initially made with thatched roof. |

funkybully:The point is this, it was initially made with thatched roof and you can't expect the church to still be using thatched roof in this period of modernization. It's ever recorded that there was a time the church was burnt because of political upheaval and turbulence. |

If that church building and materials for building it is not up to 120yrs then, that is certainly not the oldest church , because the one in my village s above 120yrs, with proof, pictures and facts. And it has maintained that follow come roofs,the architectural designs,the spike(very very tall). The only new thing in the church, is the new tiles inside the church, the interlocks outside the building and the constant repainting of the building. So, OP, give us the date it was built, then we can take it from there. And the date that very structure was also built,( I don't mean the one that was demolished to build this one ooh). |

Napoleone: If it was initially made with thatched roofs and now with zinc, then, it is certainly not the oldest. |

mecuzee: Your logic is warped. Go and enrol on Philosophy 101. Some free online courses are offered these days even by Yale and Harvard to enable people like you get education (not necessarily certificates which like most Nigerians you probably have but arguably lacking in in depth critical thinking). The OP is talking about something which can be verifiably proven; you're yapping about unverifiable truth-claim. Can you see your folly? |
