Vlekete slave market was established in 1502 and it serves as a meeting point for European slaves merchants,African middlemen and slaves brought from hinter lands for auctioning.Vlekete slave market was one of the slave markets in Nigeria and the other slave market was situated in Calabar called Eyon slave market,in which slaves were also auctioned but Vlekete slave market in Badagry was the largest and most populated.The market used to be opened for business every 2 days and nothing less than 900 slaves were sold from this very slave market per week.Slaves were auctioned for mere commodities like iron bars,mirror,cotton,dry gin,whisky,cannons,gun powder,gun and other assorted spirits.It was recorded that a cannon was used in exchange for 2 able bodied men/souls.It was thought to be a profitable business for European merchants,Trans Atlantic slave trade was providing a booming market for the European manufacturers and companies this period.The slave market house a shrine called Vlekete and some of the Europeans were tried there after the abolition of slave trade.About 18 million people were sold from this market for the 400 years that slavery lasted.When slaves were auctioned by different slave merchants,all slaves will be marched down to their various cells in different part of Badagry usually along the coast,where they remained for 3 months under terrible conditions,chained from head to toes.The defecated and urinated in their various cells {Baracoon} until they were released for shipment.Minimum number of 40 slaves were kept in a cell.Slaves auctioned by the Brazilians for example from Vlekete slave market in Badagry will be marched to the Brazilian slave baracoon {cell} which now happened to be the only existing slave cell out of the cells built by foreign slave merchants.In the baracoon {cells} they were kept for three months and after this they were branded by using a very hot iron in writing the slave owner's name at the back of slaves he purchases and after this they were marched down to the slave route port.The Brazilian slave baracoon {cell} has about 40 cells in all.I can't just imagine how people can be so cruel,to sell their own fellow human being just for irrelevant things,and i will blame my fellow black brothers and sisters for aiding and betraying their own kind.More photos below.
