You see this woman below, she was a yoruba slave brought in when she was 2 years with her mother and sister in 1860 in Alabama. She has yoruba tribal marks and could still speak the native language since she was brought in with her mother.

She was renamed Matilda McCrear.

She died in 1940 at the age of 83.

codemaniacs:


you can't even see how wrong you are with your own information

slavery was abolished in 1834 by the bri:tish.
slavery was abolished in 1865 by the U.S:A.

you claim that the woman was brought to the U:S in 1860 with her mother.. but according to history, slavery was abolished in 1865, so that means if people follow this false news you're spreading, then it means there are meant to be Yoruba speaking communities in the U:S.A and other African languages communities in the U:S.A... since the woman won't be the only African to have arrived in 1860 ...


I've told another person already and I'll say the same to you - "you lack the intellectual capacity and intelligence to use your brain to decode things... you rely on goo:gle and eur:opean version of African history.....

OneCandleAway:


So you don't know humans are stubborn, that slavery was declared abolished doesn't mean people didn't try to find ways to bring in slaves into the country. Free labour isn't what they were willing to let go of easily.

These are facts, documented facts

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.

Badagry has unfairly suffered developmental neglect from successive governors in Lagos State. Each governor visited Badagry as election candidate to ask for votes with nothing remarkable done at the end of each four years.

Badagry deserves to be opened up as tourism, vacation and hospitality hub in West Africa. Develop a proper town-plan for Badagry, build good network of roads and infrastructure, set up the beaches properly, involve investors, create areas for hotels, cinemas, night clubs, amphitheatres, amusement parks, conference centres ensure adequate security with CCTV, etc and watch Gambia crumble as tourist destination in West Africa.

This remodelling of the slave market is good but Badagry deserves MORE.

What is the use of remodeled museum, without roads to access it?

codemaniacs:


so now your evidence is "So you don't know humans are stubborn" ...

for your information, owners of sl:aves were compensated by the U:S.A after sla:very was abolished so your "So you don't know humans are stubborn" comment is nonsense...

Is the law of nature. Badagry must pay for all the atrocities its forefathers. Badagry will be backward forever.

Nigerian leaders no get sense to think in that developmental way

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?

Every part of Ibile deserves more as well as the PDP Badagry

Ttalk:


[s]That why I always call you out as a sissy and slowpoke that is using Nairaland to cover his insecurity.

What made you make such thoughtless comment? If asked to substantiate your baseless comment, you would start another fable story which you are known for.

All the current elected public holders are APC members, from Councillor to HoR member, and there is no time since 1999 when the elected candidate has been more than AD,ACN and now APC[/s]

I strongly disagree with you that Badagry suffers neglect.

festacman:


You are entitled to your opinion but I strongly enjoin you to not only disagree but to personally visit Badagry.

olaolaking:
What you stated earlier was also your opinion.

I visited Badagry for the first time in 2012. The slave route down to point of no return was worked on few years later by Fashola and the work still continues.

Or do you want the government to use the budget of a whole year to work on only Badagry?
