Neighbourhood guide

Badagry, Lagos

Lagos's historic coastal LGA and colonial-era port town — the gateway to Benin Republic and site of some of West Africa's most significant slave-trade heritage sites.

Badagry is one of Lagos State's own LGAs, a historic coastal town that predates Lagos as a major regional port. It is home to some of West Africa's most significant slave-trade heritage sites, including the Point of No Return and several preserved relics of that era, and sits close to the Seme border crossing into the Republic of Benin. Property here is markedly more affordable than almost anywhere closer to central Lagos.
