Nigeria was not left out in the world’s history of slave trading.The kings and chieftains were the custodians of tradition and gatekeepers of some significant events in the history of the people they preside over. Somewhat, there is a link of slavery and slave trade relating to the palaces of these traditional rulers. Where some work within the palaces as domestic servants, some were imprisoned and reserved for sacrifices during festive periods or probably when something happens to the king and there’s need for atonement.
There is something attached to the number of slaves you have in your custody, as high accumulation of slaves became a status of symbol. Slaves were thus confined for domestic use both on farms and household environs.
Back then, in the history of Nigeria, it is common among the kings, chiefs, the wealthy and prominent members of the society, that the number of slaves you have in your custody tells how rich you are. Sadly, the female slaves were playing the roles of mistresses or serving as domestic helpers while the good looking able-bodied men were sometimes castrated. So, slave trading was a good business and source of revenue for the kings and the wealthy in the society as humans are been stocked up readily for purchase to the slave merchants. Notable places in the history of slave trade in Nigeria were Badagry and Lagos.

In the past during the slave trade era, Badagry region due to the large expanse of water, serves as a place for the Europeans to harbor their slave ships. In Lagos, slave trade was in vogue where wealth and power was significant not in ownership of landed physical properties but rather, in the control of human beings as slaves. Lagos was a slave port, where buying and selling of people as slaves was carried out, this is funny, as if its perishable goods they are selling. There’s a slave market where bargaining is done, also a buildings located at different areas within the slave-dealing quarters where slaves are kept until they are been transported. These slaves confined, are made to walk a two kilometer path to a spot known as ”a point of no return” just because these ones have met bargaining power and awaits to be shipped out. Imagine humans treated cruelly, oppressed, taking away forcefully from their families, and so on.
