The genesis of Black Friday.

10 Precious Souls were sold for a Bottle of Rum (Whiskey)

Don't bring up the rum part, there was a reason I didn't add the amount of slaves he used to maintain his wine/rum cellar. Some people might troop to his Palace in Badagry and pull it down.

What are the characteristics of terrorism ? Who are the foremost human rights abuser ?

They should make the statue of Seriki of Badagry exclusive.
A very famous slave trader that sold 20 young ladies for one umbrella, 40 men for a gun and 10 boys for gunpowder.

He sold 10 ladies for a snuff box amongst other record breaking sales.

Seriki of Badagry, his descendant is into politics. I won't mention his name.

Stop spreading false information...

During that era, 96% of the women were warriors and soldiers it was impossible to capture women or a single woman because they moved in groups.

Please state his name.
We need to know these séllouts

You could have just searched the name (seriki of Badagry) on Google instead of disgracing your ancestors like this

I don't need google, you're the one disgracing your ancestors because you rely on google to tell you history...

the Yoruba nation and the other ethnic nations that were surrounding it were policed and controlled by women... the seriki of badagry doesn't stand a chance against them...

like musicwriter already said on this thread "that place wasn't a slave market"...

google and "the history" you read was written by e:uropeans and their African collaborators to support the eu:opean version of African history...

If eu:ropeans brought gu:ns and gu:npowder to Africa then every African language will not have a word for gun...

but like I said, It is you that is disgracing your ancestors because you lack the intellectual capacity and intelligence to use your brain to decode things... you rely on "goo:gle"...

Where the road to badagry abi no be the same mile 2- iyana oba- volk- okoko- road ?

Women were sold as slaves. This is a fact and evidence are plenty.

Even some of the Dahomey women warriors were taken as slaves also.

Yoruba people.... All over UK, America, south America etc.

musicwriter:
That place wasn't a slave market because slavery came later. Europeans had been in Africa, buying cash crops, gold, tusk and Ivory, timber and they used that place as processing and shipping port, many years before slavery.

There are many such shipping ports dotted all over West Africa and other parts. Before Europeans arrived, that place must always have been a port!!. Otherwise, why did white people anchor their ships there? And how did they anchor there? Such places were originally meant for legitimate business before the Atlantic slave trade began. During slavery, they were used to process the slaves before shipping. IT WASN'T A MARKET!!!.

Do you think the only and first business to happen between Europe and Africa was slavery?

you're wrong and I'm sure If you have any evidence to use prove your point it will be evidence gotten from eu:ropeans or their African collaborators..

Women are more than men... it will be impossible to capture one Afric:an woman in that era because all or at least 96% of them had military training...

Yes, it's something I really need to take seriously. Right now it's just like a hobby.

Any idea how that type of blog could be monetized? Because adsense would mess up everything.

If they will resume the market after 100s of years, they should let me know when ship from America berth

he is speaking lies..

I don't care if you grew up in bada:gry, even you yourself called it "a story".... which means everything you heard was hear-say and someone's story....

If slavery happened in Nigeria, the amalgamation of Nigeria would have happened in the 1600s or 1700s not in 1914.
If slavery happened in Nigeria, especially in southern Nigeria, all the indigenous languages would have been extinct..

...To Be Completed, Commissioned Soon


The rehabilitation, remodelling and equipping of the popular Vlekete Slave Market Museum in Badagry with historical artefacts have now reached over 95 per cent completion stage and would soon be commissioned by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

This was disclosed recently during an assessment tour of the project by the Special Adviser on Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mr. Solomon Bonu, alongside the Permanent Secretary, Princess Adenike Adedoyin-Ajayi, as well as the Director of Monument Management Department, Mr. Olatunde Lawal.

While noting that the museum would soon be opened for use by members of the public, Bonu stated that the approval for the rehabilitation of the Vlekete Slave Market Museum further reaffirmed the status of Badagry as a major tourism destination in Lagos State and by extension, Nigeria.

According to him, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave approval for the Museum based on his conviction about the importance of the historical narratives behind the Vlekete Slave Market Museum in Badagry.

In her contribution, Princess Adenike Adedoyin-Ajayi remarked that the Vlekete Slave Market in Badagry was adjudged to be one of the most populous slave markets in West Africa during the Slave Trade period, reiterating the commitment of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to hand over the Museum for public use soon.

She disclosed that when the Badagry Slave Market Museum International is completed, it will serve as a major tourism attraction for Nigerians within and outside the country and also re-enact the memory of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and its abolition several decades ago.

The Director, Monument Management Department, Mr. Olatunde Lawal, commended the contractor that handled the remodelling of the museum for the quality job done and for keeping to the delivery period for the project.

He said that the Managing Director of Messrs Obinjade Nigeria Limited, Mr. Ashamu Sewanu Fadipe, cooperated with the Ministry to reach the present stage of the project.

Fadipe, who took the Special Adviser and other top government officials from the Ministry on a tour of the Museum, said it houses collections of notable slave relics and useful information on Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Sahara slave marketing in Badagry.

He disclosed that a particular portion of the Museum has been dedicated to simulating the re-enactment of the trade experience to visitors and tourists using video presentation.

The Badagry Slave Market Museum International, also known as Velekete Slave Market, served as a business point where African middlemen sold slaves to European merchants, thus making it one of the most populous slave markets in West Africa.

such fake "facts" are written by eu:ropeans and Afric:an coll:aborators who have several educational degrees in history, philosophy e.t.c.. which validates their fake "research" and fake "facts"... so even if I write anything it would be termed "conspi:racy theo:rist" and will never ever be validated...

even with thousands of virology, pharmacy e.t.c. PHD holders in Africa.... eur:opeans will never ever validate and accept a vaccine or cure created by Africans...

even when travelling abroad to study or look for job as Nigerians who speaks english... Nigerians and other countries who have e:nglish as an official language still have to write and pass several e:nglish exams, for them to validate that you understand en:glish..

oh God. Humans for just snuff and gun. Terrible

BKayy:

Leave the idiot. Something that featured on NTA about 9 or 10 years ago.
It was direct interview, fact display, house touring and most of his over 40 cells were displayed.
The umbrella he sold the girls for were also displayed.

I don't think I will gain anything from convincing the ignorant dude.

He is soo ignorant. Even around the early 1900s there were women from Africa in the US who were brought in as slaves but freed later and couldn't return. Google 'Redoshi'

Please state his name.
We need to know these séllouts

His name is Seriki Williams Abass born Ifaremilekun Fagbemi in Joga-Orile in Ilaro, Ogün State. He was captured by a white Brazilian slave trader called William in Dahomey and taken to Brazil. William promised Seriki his freedom if he agreed to keep working for him by joining him in his business. That business was slave trading. That is how Seriki got involved in slave trading after he returned back to Nigeria. The man kept selling slaves in exchange for guns, gun powder, umbrella, liquor, etc. Slavery was brutal, I tell you. If you go to Badagry, Lagos you will see the museum and even his final resting place.
