So I travelled to Badagry for a event and boom I remembered I've heard a lot about Badagry, I brought out my phone and opened my Google app to check where I was and I saw a slave village close by, it was only a 3mins walk away. I got there and it was Chief Sereki Williams Abass Brazilian Barracoon, 40-room Barracoon, small rooms about 5ft by 5ft in which captured slaves were held before being sold to European slave merchants and shipped away across the Atlantic. We paid N1,000 each and we processed with our tour, I saw relics and heavy chains that were used to cuff slaves when they were been shipped to the destination of no return, the umbrella slaves were exchanged with was shown to us, saw Sereki Abass' courtyard and where his remains were laid. If you love tourism and history, you can visit too.

It was interesting and also educative, it gives an insightful memory on the our forefathers were being maltreated by the colonial masters, and how they’ve suffered for us to be liberated and gain our own freedom

A place of dehumanization where 10 humans were traded for a ceramic bowl or mirror. 40 humans for a shotgun or an umbrella and 100 humans for a cannon gun. 40 humans had to stay in a room (estimated to be 5ft by 5ft) for 3 months while they await being taken to the point of no return; the women had their monthly period in that same room, excreted while some gave birth in the same room - the only window is estimated to be 12 inches by 5 inches.

This place is situated in the heart of Badagry, where slaves taken from different parts or some parts of Nigeria are kept or transported across the shores to unknown destinations, there is a torturing room or court where slaves were being kept with little or no ventilation, humans were exchanged for a bottle of gin, umbrella or bowls. Entry fee into the museum is 500 per person, taking a boat across is like 500 to 1k per person to the point of no return. I appreciate the tour guide who took the time to narrate all that is needed to know.

It was great for historical aspects and the tour guides were awesome! However, I was disappointed in the aspect of it not having proper lighting, no public bathrooms, accessibility and lack of things I am used to seeing in other museums in the US.
