Vicky and her friends took a tour of Badagry Slave Port where they were shown the first storey building in Nigeria.She shared the photos on social media and wrote...

'Then we had to work some few kilometers away from the first administrative building to the first Storey building in Nigeria built in 1845. Outside this building use to be an AGIA TREE where Christianity was first preached by Rev. Birch Freeman of Methodist Church. Discretely, everyone said a silent word of prayer here because we were told that prayers said here always get answered. Oh! The miracle well that houses the cleanest water I have ever tasted was there. It was dug by Slaves. It’s called miracle well because it is the only well free from salt in the whole environs.

Inside the building were portraits of men like Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther and several other notable men who work on establishing Christianity in Nigeria.

We also saw a broken Chair that was so much taken care of like glass wares cared for by a woman. “What is so special about this Chair Mr Ade? “ One of us asked our tour guide. We learnt it is the last chair standing since 1859 in the iconic building. I felt blessed to be there and some of spiritually just engulfed me. But our tour was just about to start'

This Thomas Birch Freeman and Ajayi Crowther were the people who introduced Christianity to the Igbos of today.
Ajayi specifically preached vigorously for them to stop killing twins, Osu oppression, and disposing bodies in evil forests which was still prevalent among the Igbos at the time.

Following the British Niger Expeditions of 1854 and 1857, Crowther produced the premier full dictionary for the Igbo language in 1857, another for the Nupe language in 1860, and a full grammar and vocabulary of Nupe in 1864

Times have really flown by.

CHRISTIANITY- Preaching god on one side and practicing slavery on the other.


This place should be commemorated as the birthplace of Nigeria's mental slavery.



The place should be burnt down and a shrine to the GODS of our ancestors be consecrated in its place.

Don't yab nonsense. just because you have fingers to type.

Killing of twins was done only by a small section of the Ijaw, namely the Kalabari. not by any other tribe in Nigeria.

this was just missionary propaganda to paint traditional Nigerian faiths in bad light and to gain converts.

Infact it is technically not possible in other tribes because most Nigerian traditional faiths rever twins as sacred and some even consider them as representatives of dual force deities . e.g. Orisa Ibeji (Yoruba)

Moreover, Osu oppression started after conversion to chrsitianity whereby Osu (former sacrificed shrine attendants of deities) were considered evil and dirty because they were associated with the old Gods.

in pre-colonial times Osu were rather respected and feared because of their association with the Gods. this role reversed after the coming of xtianity. and then post Nigerian independence you see a reversal of trend again whereby local Nigerian pastors start advocating against Osu and blaiming Osu discrimination on traditional religion.


Wake up Nigeria!

Badagry over to you.
