    It was interesting seeing the first building in Nigeria, the journey from the Lagoon front to the Point of No Return was far but fun and the beach helps you relax and regain your strength.

    It was very valuable time to know the history for me. A lot of Nigerian students visited to learn about that. I thought knowledge that history gives you graceful forces. Everyone should know and learn this terrible history in Africa.

    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.

    The Badagry Heritage Museum or Badagry slave museum is one of the museums in the Western coast of Africa that extensively narrates and projects what the slave era looks like, this is because badagry itself is one of the biggest slave port during the period of it existence.

    Due to renovations and upgrade, the heritage museum is a must-visit site for any visitor(s) to Badagry. Else, your visit is not complete. It is located on the Badagry Marina close to the courts complex, Badagry police division, the Mobee Royal museum and the General Hospital. Good work on the upgrade by the state government.

    Awesome, emotional and insightful. Learnt about slave trade history in the transatlantic route. Heard about the role of the African, Nigerians and Europeans. Imagine that black men betrayed themselves, sold their brothers to white men just in exchange for something as simple as a mirror.

    Great place for historical purposes the town itself is full of history first school,church,story building etc what amazes me is most places in this area date back to 18th centuries even well, don’t just visit the museum visit other locations all around the museum, like the mobee museum, the Baracoon, district officials house etc all walkable distances But I must point out ask about the road before you set out
