A VISUAL GUIDE TO VISITING AWOLOWO MUSEUM AT IBEJU LEKKI

Too often many of us to do not appreciate our own history and we spend considerable time and money flying ourselves to other countries to learn about their history. When a friend of mine decided a while back that we should embark upon a trip to a beach in Ibeju Lekki, a beach with historical significance, I was sold. Ibeju Lekki is located east of Lekki. The beach of Ibeju Lekki was near the Lagos Free Trade Zone, a zone I had never been aware of. It took us approximately 2 hours from Victoria Island. 2 hours later, we stumbled upon an historical gem.

Rather than bore you with the history of the Awolowo museum at Ibeju Lekki (Chief Awolowo was one of the founding father of Nigeria btw) and the remains of the Regis Aine Factory (a slave trade company) which laid beside the beautiful beach, I’ll leave you with pictures and captions which am sure will be much easier for you to digest. Also I have a video of a Shrine we located alongside the beautiful beach. As always, I hope you enjoy and get to see a little more of my homeland and hopefully one day, make a visit.

Chief Awolowo On Self-Discipline
“I will, more than ever before, subject myself to severe self- discipline. Only men who are masters of themselves become easily masters of others. Therefore, my thoughts, my tongue,
and my actions shall be brought under strict control always.”
– My March Through Prison, 1985
