Portugese sailers were merchants and masters at the seas. When slaves were exported to America from Africa they saw a commercial opportunity and started to transport the slaves. At this market slaves were sold and bought. It's a black page of history but one that has to be told. The name of our city 'Lagos' became also the name of the big city in Nigeria where most of the slaves came from.
