Did you know that in Marina, Badagry, Nigeria, the first storey structure was built? It may also interest you to know that the structure still stands today, despite the fact that it was built in 1845.

Badagry has a plethora of historical and cultural relics. This results in an almost endless list of interesting facts, which contributes significantly to its popularity among Nigerians and foreigners alike.

Badagry was a key port and commercial centre for the trading of African slaves to Europeans between the 15th and 18th centuries due to its proximity to the ocean. During that time, it is estimated that 550,000 slaves were exported to America. These slaves were auctioned off for items such as iron bars, mirrors, cotton, gunpowder, dry gin, whiskey, and other alcoholic beverages. Badagry is unquestionably the best place to learn about the Nigerian slave trade.

The Aworis, Egun, Yoruba, and Ogu people of Badagry are known for their hospitality and the popular snack Ajogun, which is made from cassava and best enjoyed with coconut water.

The native language is Ogu, a dialect of Aja similar to the Fon language (a subgroup of Aja spoken in Porto-Novo), and the people celebrate a number of festivals, including the Ajido Zangbeto Cult, the Igunnuko festival, and the Badagry Diaspora and Heritage festivals.
