Places like this requires quick development as I'm certain the rate of skull mining will be alarming, owing to how under developed and ancient the village is.A good base for demonic and head cutting cum liver and kidney mining ritualists.
Throw me into this "den" at 6 pm and watch me cry like a bittch all through. I'd be looking around suspecting everyone, having it at the back of my sorry head ,that it can just be hacked off at any time.

Baba I've stayed in badagry almost 8years and I've only heard of one ritual killing... hope you can say same about your village?

Don't mind the ingrates. Let me see how soon it will be developed. Ibeju lekki that used to be a dumping site for refuge is now hot cake.Just the way igbos are buying lands all over agbara,oke agbo,badagry,and developing those areas.

Many of those aforementioned areas never use to have transformers talk more of light.Its after several igbos after completion of their houses, will put their heads together with greedy baales to enable electricity come into the areas.

Thanks for the job. Lagos has hundreds of those villages located on her numerous islands . From Epe to Seme, you can count over 100 of those villages. In Apapa you have Igboologun & other villages. Nigerdock is on the island beside Igboologun.

I think real development will get to Badagry when the reconstruction of Mile2 to Seme is completed. Also in the area we have the Hyundai led consortium Deep Sea Ship Repair project, Intel logistics Deep Sea port project & Aje Oilfield at the Offshore. With the Deep Sea port & repair yard, a major international market is bound to be established in this area. The next phase of Aje gas project will also lift this area. All these will take some years. The major headache is the reconstruction of this road.

All the villages along the ocean look alike until infrastructure is developed the people there cannot feel the impact of governance. In future, 5 star hotels will be in those area & lot of tourism activities.

You are talking trash. You came to Lagos with nothing. Even Sir Louis came to Lagos from Nnewi as a village then as a pauper. He made his money & fame in Lagos. If you are ejected & given a quit notice you will return as you came.

What will be the joy in this life if we do not seek out people in obscure locations to check out how they live and how we can impact them positively.

I continued my lifelens trip with my journey to Badagry, Lagos State.

We all know Badagry as that location (based on history) where the slave trade happened.

The Lifelens documentary is not really about telling stories about the history of Badagry town, but forging out a narrative of the people living on the other side of the River, the Island of Gberefun.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNMem9K0b40

In a Village that houses fishermen and other artisans, Gberefun is indeed a haven when it comes to fishing, and this is evident by the domination of the community by fisherman.

As expected we paid a visit to the Palace of the Oba Akran of Gbadagry where we learned about the history of Badagry. Founded around 1425 AD, people lived along the coast of Gberefun, (where we went to). Gberefu Village is an island few minutes away from Badagry, 2 hours from Lagos and 30 minutes from Benin Republic.

Your people are the greatest cowards & ingrates. If your land is blessed why didn't you stay in your land & develop it instead of complaining of being disenfranchised of voting for a candidate of your choice, complaining of arresting the person that gave you quit notice or revocation of your market land.

How many of those estates along Lekki axis belong to your people. The infrastructural developments that attracted investment were they put in place by your brothers ? Warn your brothers not to buy land because their properties will be thrown to ocean.

We are talking of an island village in a city with large number of villages on the island, you are bringing the bitterness of revocation of Trade Fair complex concession to play. The road project to Ghana (linking the route to Ivory Coast & the proposed Senegal - Lagos road) the deep sea project, Deep Sea Vessel repair yard & the Aje oilfield & the future Airport & international market that will explode the area are they your brothers projects.

We don't need you people again.

@deturla

Thanks for the video.

We all know Badagry as that location (based on history) where the slave trade happened.

But, note there were no slave trade in Africa!. The so called slave trade was going on in the Americas and USA and all the other settlements where Europeans had plantations. Slave trade happened when Europeans bought and sold slaves among themselves, that's why they called it slave trade. It did not happen in Africa. Yes, you said based on history we were told slave trade happened here; but on who's account of history?

History was written and some erased while we were still in slavery. By the time we came out of slavery we've been schooled to take the blame for their crimes.

Slaves were acquired by acts of war, coercion, fraud, intimidation. Between 1700-1800, the whole of Africa was at war fighting off white people or fighting among ourselves to defend them. Today, those running from the wars would've been called refugees. But, in those days, a refugee was automatically a slave!.

If we bought and sold slaves in Africa; don't you think we would have also become wealthy? What part of Africa was developing during slavery?

In Britain, France, USA, you could still trace families that traded in slaves, their record of ships and family names are still there. What family in Africa is known to have been a slave trading family? NONE.

Slave trade began in Europe in medieval times, and its what they brought along to us to Africa when they came here. I don't know how I could get the African people understand this. And there's nobody to help me. Everybody has already bought white man's version of history, hook, line and sinker.

Slave trade in America.

Africans for sale is America - That's why it is called slave trade.


Africans (from Ghana) for sale is America - That's why it is called slave trade.


White man places order to buy fresh arrivals from Africa - That's why it is called slave trade.


White man advertises Africans ( from Sierra Leone) for sale in America- That's why it is called slave trade.


Their age range suggests African young population was wipe out leaving old people. There was no way development could occur under such circumstance.


And they paid cash. Those who said slave trade was going in Africa should let me know what currency and at what amount they were being sold here. By the way, by 1840, at the height of the slavery, they were fooling themselves that slavery had been abolished. Of course, it was only abolished on paper. Britain continued shipping Africans well in into 1900, until all the war they caused died out and the refugee crises lessened.
