proud to be a badagrian. the most peaceful place in Lagos to live. with the history we have here, badagry is meant to be the Banana island of Lagos.... But the government just forget us for dis side. everything here is ancient mehn

Did i just read you write 'tourist center'? Ah! i see nothing to tour here other than washy chalky paints capped with rusty browny sheets of zinc. No vex laho wowo.


We're in the 21st century, where change is constant and speedy.


If they renovated and decorate the entire price, I know you won't hesitate to pay just to tour the arena. People from other countries will even come visiting.

Reminisce.. I visited the building sometime in 2010 for an excursion! It was amazing!.. Let me see what I can remember about the building.. Yh.. Its in badagry.. Not so far away from other historical sites like the ''point of no return''-during the slave trade thingy.. Once slaves were taken to that point and beyond.. That was the last ever seen or heard about them. A boundary or some sort between badagry and whatever route they were taken through before the atlantic. At the time I visited.. There was a house.. Where the slaves were kept before moved,I entered.. It was real creepy. I could literally feel like I was among em slaves.. The place was so pristine just as I woulda imagined it was 200years ago.. Also there was a museum of some sort. With chains used for the slaves then.. Some clothing materials worn by slaves,the hand and feet chains, some crude tools.. And other things I can't remember now.. But the most fascinating object there was a Big bowl!.. Like a very round drum basin.. All the slaves would drink water from this basin at the same time! Sometime in the heat of the struggle.. Ppl wud hit their heads on d basins which happened to be quite rigid and be seriously injured... Finally.. The oldest storybuilding in Nigeria was also the house in which the late samuel ajayi crowther lived and died. I visited his office..there was a bell and a bible on the table covered with a silk material.. The bell was the late bishop's personal bell and the bible was the first bible translated into yoruba from English.. And might I add! I couldn't even read the bible.. The words there were so not like our today's yoruba bible...read more like what yoruba's call ''egun'' language or something to me.. The interior of the building is actually wood except the walls... Like the deck between the down floor and top floor.. So on the top floor, you'd literally be walking on planks of wood.. The stair case was also made of wood.. And I'm talking archaic styled!..other fascinating sites were in the compound,a school and other smaller buildings.. Can't recollect all now though.. But there was this well with water believed to be powerful and all encompassing.. For problems.. Academics,spiritual and.. All that!!, I scooped some anyways...even though I didn't believe the overly exaggerated advert.. Now badagry is some fun place to visit!


yeah... I remember visiting in 2008 d tour guide told us d same story about d well.it was quite an experience.

That is NOT the first storey building in Nigeria. The first storey building in Nigeria was built thousands of years before the first Englishman existed.

You should be right if we consider those built using wood by fishermen at the banks of river and inside the river.

Antique.

Great.

Definitely stronger that that house which collapsed at Ikotun that murdered scores of people.

They said an aircraft flew over it and it collapsed.

Can someone here comment on this thank you awaiting to hear from sound minded nairalanders

Renovating it wouldn't be worthwhile. They should just clean the surroundings and inside the house and use for tourism.

Renovating it just makes it lose its appeal as a relic

and an interlocked compund.
If all wat you said is done then its no longer historic again bro...I tink they should just repair or replace any weakened part of it possibly with same material that's if it can still be gotten at dis era.

you can't touch the building cos it is protected by certain tourism laws...only the inners can be repainted....go to the museum and see the car that murtala was killed...they don't touch it but only change the tyres yearly or so...coming from a tourism student before they start to bash me
