The Cathedral Church of Christ, Marina, in Lagos, Nigeria. The cathedral is a historic landmark located in the heart of the Lagos Island Central Business District.

This is the oldest Anglican cathedral in the Church of Nigeria. Its foundation stone was laid in 1867, and it was officially established in 1869.

The building was rebuilt in 1924 and completed in 1946, featuring a neo-Gothic architectural style.

The cathedral has been the seat of the Bishop of Lagos and has witnessed significant events throughout Nigeria's history.

This imposing edifice is the most visible and fascinating structure that often welcome the new visitor to the Lagos Marina. Its ancient gothic structure pattern of building is simply awesome and splendy. It was in this place Gen Yakubu Gowon married his wife in the 1969.

Hope it wasn't involved in Trans-atlantic slave trade? People should know their history!

The Anglican church has a complex history with the slave trade, including direct involvement through investments and plantations like Codrington College in Barbados, and ideological support for slavery. It also had members who opposed it and worked towards abolition. In recent years, the Church of England has apologized for its historical links and has pledged significant funding to address the legacy of slavery through investments and research. Goodlady

It used to be the seat of the Primacy until it moved to Abuja.

Former Heads of the church, Olufusoye & Adetiloye sat there.

I have been there before. The structure is ageless. To think several generations of people have worshipped in the church is humbling.

Africans are too slow. A building build by white men century ago is still a country's pride. Black men are still far behind. Imagine showing a foreigner a building build by his ancestors as Nations pride. Whadtaa

Lagos used to be peaceful and beautiful, then everyone started migrating there. Yet they won’t admit they moved because things in Lagos were working so well.

He greatly encouraged it
Rather than tell slave owners to not own slaves he told slaves to obey their owners in all things
