Badagry Division
Badagry Division is an administrative division of Lagos State in Nigeria. The ancient town of Badagry, also known as Badagri, is located in Nigeria and was one of the five divisions established by the Lagos State in 1968. It has a troubled past and an important present. With a history dating back nearly 593 years, the little coastal town and lagoon port is one of the most significant cities in Nigerian and African colonial history. History Badagry Division figures in the history of relations and contact between Nigeria and Europe, as it was a major slave outpost and market prior to British colonization. It was also the place where, in 1842, Christianity was first preached in Nigeria; this was memorialized by the Agia Cenotaph.

Etügen Eke ("Mother Earth", also transliterated variously as Itügen or Etügen Ekhe) is an earth goddess in Tengrism. She was believed to be perpetually virginal. The word "etugen" associates with woman and daughter of Kayra. Also her name may have originated from Ötüken, the holy mountain of the earth and fertility goddess of the ancient Turks.
