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

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
