The experience on the Point of No Return is a reconnection to the past. The walk on the Slave Route brings back vivid imagination of the experiences of the ancestors during the trans Atlantic slave trade in Badagry. Water was fetched from the popular well duged in the middle of the slave route and given to the slaves not just to quench their thirst but to make them weak and not be able to think right. Some said the water was drugged or charmed. The Lagos ministry of tourism call the spot, ”the slave spirit attenuation well’’, but Anago Osho calls it, “the well of memory loss”. The Atlantic Ocean and its tide would have been scary to majority of the slaves who were captured from the hinterland.
