    Visiting Badagry Musuem and Slave House was interesting and saddening. Historical artifacts dots this space. A guide gave us insight on the prehistoric slave trade, and explained how they were captured and moved across the sea. These landmarks and items need to be preserved on standardized forms. We saw the first story building and slave hub. Good place for students and tourists to visit.

    One of the best place for those who have interest in History. The relics, impressions of black days of slavery can be seen here. The famous "Point of no return" is here. The slaves were sent from this point to various country including UK, Belgium and USA etc. for never to return back to there HOMES.
    In the early 1500's, slaves were transported from West Africa to America through Badagri. It is reported that Badagri exported no fewer than 550,000 African slaves to America during the period of the American Independence in l787. In addition, slaves were transported to Europe, South America and the Caribbean. The slaves came mainly from West Africa and the neighboring countries of Benin and Togo as well as others parts of Nigeria. The slave trade became the major source of income for the Europeans in Badagri. Slaves were used for buying, canons, guns and other items from outsiders by local influential people and Kings.

    Small museum with some interesting artifacts. Helpful staff. The walk to the beach is easy but hot. Historically significant place.

    It's a museum which houses relics from the slave era, Badagry being the center of the trade. It's an okay museum but the government could do more than just let the institution fall apart.
    It's a National heritage site and this should reflect on the institution .
