It's Honeymoon spots again on yspot! with the honeymoon planner- 'Seun Makinde

Hi guys

Last time, we talked about what honeymoon is. Today and subsequently, we will be looking at various spots around the world where we can travel to, to have and enjoy that nice and romantic honey moon we desire to have with our spouses.

In the south-western part of Nigeria, to be precise in the city of Lagos is a city along the coastal shore with beautiful beaches and a strong heritage. it is a place that blends the past and the present together,  a place where you can re-connect, rejuvenate and reignite your love. You are wondering where and what this place is right, should I let the cat out of the bag? Wow ! I can hear some thunderous responses -yes. Okay it is the town called BADAGRY.

The ancient town of Badagry was founded around 1425ad; its origin can be traced to the people who lived along the coast of gberefu. Gberefu gave rise to what we call Badagry today. Badagry is the second largest town in Lagos and is an historic town with regards to Nigeria’s independence. It was a major slave port and market on the West African coast which accounted for over 600,000 slave exported to America and Europe.
Though a serene city, it has a lot of things going for it. Nevertheless it still remains full of unspoiled nature.

PLACES OF INTEREST

You have the palace of the Akran of Badagry with its mini ethnographic museum.
    

Yes and the first story building in Nigeria built by some early missionaries.
    


You have lord Lugard’s house while he was a district officer.



Incase you are wondering, this is what we have left of the house!

Another site to behold is the famous Agia Tree under which Christianity was first preached in Nigeria. I couln't get a picture of this.

There is the suntan beach, a beach with good white sand and natural beauty.


Also, the coconut beach in the coastal town of badagry. It is called the coconut paradise of badagry.



There are many other places in badagry which time and space will not permit us to talk about but I must mention this also Badagry is a border town to other West African countries.

In case you are wondering, where do I put my head during my visit? Well, they have hotels like the Heritage resorts but the most popular, captivating and exotic is the whispering palms where the palms actually do whisper. Yes they do. Do I hear some doubting Thomases…….who would love to see before they believe. Well a visit to Badagry will leave you dumbfounded. If you need tickets just say the word.

       


What more can I say about this town?  Well nothing, other than a visit will surely convince you. Indeed Nigeria is truly blessed.

Watch out! Your country might be next!
I remain your honeymoon planner

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
