The journey from the Lagoon or river side, where the enslaved and chained persons disembark from canoes to continue the burdensome walk on the sandy slave route is tiring.  One of the characteristics of the enslaved person is that he can't complain. Who would he or she complain to? The lamentation of their misery was usually to an unseen force that they believe in. The lamentation is hope that their sorrows and condition will change.  Tour guiding guests on the slave route at Gberefu, Badagry or any other sites requires professionalism. The position or place of the tour guides should never be undermined in heritage interpretation for visitors to have a total experience.  An enslaved person is another persons property. This is the most dehumanizing condition on earth. To be owned by another human being is evil because an enslaved person don't have a will or purpose for living except the owners will. The experience on "the slave route" is important and must be handled b...

The mood will always be positive despite what ever the situation may be on the divine path I thread on the tourist guide occupation of life, as these group of tourists who came on @anagooshoadventures tour hit the nail on the head as they confessed that they made the right choice by choosing us to provide their tour guide services. According to the group, they initially contacted a tour operator with a great website and paperworks, but a colleague of theirs recommended Anago Osho Adventures to organize and lead the tour. It was asserted by everyone in the group that it's one of the risky but best decision they ever made. The referral worked for them. The experience they seek was achieved 100%. The group was great and brought out the best in me and my team. The tour group were on this tour for both educational purposes and fun. They asked deep questions and I am glad we were able to meet their yearnings. Anago Osho Adventures staffs of Mr Femi Whenu and Akinlawon Anago-Osho did very...

4 days walking tour from Tarkwa Bay to Badagry: Pollution, Beauty and History By Anago Osho The 62 km ocean trail and hike along the Coast of Lagos State took four days from Tarkwa Bay to Badagry, with creative stops, wellness, camping, villa stays, great food, great company, and yes, very - very great physical challenge. On this ocean trail walking tour, Mr Akin of Pop Beach Club, observed the decline of the birds and crab population on the shores compared to his experience on the same trail in 2018. The truth of his observation was that back then, you will be forced to walk on the other side of the beach, away from the shore because of the armies of crabs on the sea shore and numerous birds flying above in the sky as they set their prying eyes on the numerous prey to feed on but today, all these spectacles seems to have disappeared. It is sad that plastic pollution had taken over the ocean shores of Lagos and it's true that it's the same experience across the world. It is dis...
