After visiting Iga Iduganran, the palace of the Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Akiolu (the Eleko of Eko), The Royal College of Defence London, continued the following day to experience a cultural tour of Badagry.
Unknown to them, a cultural reception had been organized in their honour. The powerful music, a blend of African drums and vocal chants, captivated them. Some spontaneously moved to the beat, while others swayed or simply shook their heads in rhythm. This showcases their interest in Nigeria's rich heritage. The cultural reception was a vibrant welcome.A short walking tour was created for the group aimed to facilitate interactions with the locals, but the scorching sun's intense heat posed a challenge, especially for the first-time visitors to Nigeria. The harsh weather conditions brought adjustments to the tour itinerary as the group proceeded to the Brazilian Baracoon of Seriki Abass, Mobee Slave relics museum and a mini yacht cruise to Gberefu Island (Point of No Return) but the visitors couldn't walk the 1.8 km Slave Route to the seabeach due to the scorching sun's heat.
Anago-Osho gave a general overview of what the slave route and journey to unknown destination represents. One of the visitors commented that if they can't walk the slave route because of the harsh sunlight, he can't imagine the experience of enslaved Africans in slaving chains. This comment highlights the importance of understanding and appreciating history.
Everyone went back to the mini yachts to head back to their hotel in Victoria Island.
