Gberefu Island Point Of No Return, Badagry – The Original Slave Route by travelwaka: 3:07pm On Jan 04, 2021 |
In Summary, the point of no return is a place where slaves were shipped off to an unknown destination during the slave trade era. It is an Island in Badagry called the Gberefu Island. It is surrounded by the lagoon on one and the Atlantic on the other side. You can only access this island via a boat. Thousands of Slaves were shipped off from this Island. It is one of the most popular slave centres in the world. I present to you the original slave route and the point of no return. It hosts a well known as the attenuation well, anyone that drinks from the water will lose their memory. The slaves were forced to drink the water before heading to the point of no return. This is probably one of the reasons why it was difficult for the slaves to fight the slave masters or escape during the trip. https://www.travelwaka.com/gberefu-island-point-of-no-return-badagry-the-original-slave-route/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5krRx6NssDI 4 Likes 2 Shares

Freestainworld: And how do you know this? Let me tell you what's going on at the moment. There is a whole movement going on right now with an increasing number of people who descended from enslaved Africans wanting and looking to move back to Africa. They are moving to places like Tanzania, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and the likes. You have Black people from America, UK, Caribbean, and beyond wanting to repatriate back to Africa. Things are bad in Nigeria I know but some other African countries are not doing too badly. I pray you get to the white man's land. You will come to realize that the oyibos many of you worship do not want you in their countries and they will make it perfectly clear once you get there. So brace yourself because you will be exchanging one set of problems for a different set of problems. 113 Likes 8 Shares |

Sometimes my blood boil with rage when I read and hear about the cruel things the white men did to some of my ancestors, it makes me wanna do em something wicked and brutal. But I always remind myself that the generation of the white folks that committed the acts have all been wiped out by the cold hands of death. 7 Likes 1 Share |

If not that my grandfather was very lucky to have been recalled from Porto Novo as a slave, cos he was the last batch before the abolishment of slave trade, I would have been in the USA. It hurts seeing myself in this British business centre 12 Likes 2 Shares |
