Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is both historical and analytical and examines the recent development of missionary activities and its impact on the Muslims in Yorubaland. It traces the origin of Christianity in Nigeria and identifies some salient factors that may have triggered the spread of Christian influence in Yorubaland and highlights the roles played by mainstream churches to complement the efforts of missionary activities: it shows that churches, schools, health centers and chapels were built around towns and cities to further facilitate the process of evangelization. The findings show that Christianity has become more integrated into the Nigerian society and has impacted greatly on the local culture. This is facilitated by the introduction of a new way of life which includes western education, the romanization of the Yoruba language, modes of dressing and the use of the English language as the medium of communication among other changes. All these would not have been possible had it not been for the collaborative efforts between the missionaries and the colonial masters. Data for this study are drawn from both primary and secondary sources in forms of books, reports, scholarly journals, magazines, and occasional papers, proceedings of relevant conferences, newspapers and internet sources. Interviews were conducted to complement the qualitative methodology upon which this research is grounded. The research concludes, in view of the findings, by suggesting a constructive resolution of religious disputes and dialogue as a means of establishing a long-lasting peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians in the South Western Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract. In the following pages the writer sets out to investigate two separate but dependent themes. The political involvement of the Church Missionary Society as a London-based pressure group, influencing the British government to adopt certain policies, and the complementary political activities of its missionaries on the spot form the first theme. The second theme is the work of the Society in planting Christianity and civilization in Western Nig eria c The focus is on the work done among the Egba people of Yor- ubaland. The connection between the two subjects is that the CMS policy of building the Egba as a center of British and missionary influence, and as the symbol of regeneration in Africa achieved with "Bible and Plough", depended for its success on the attainment of certain political ends. These were the establishment of British influence on the coast, from whence missionaries and traders would penetrate the interior, and the promotion of the commercial and political interests of the Egba with whom the CMS became Intimately connected. Several sub-themes highlight these activities. The conver gence of missionary and consular interests demonstrated by the inter vention in the dynastic disputes of Lagos and Badagry in the late 1840*s and early 1850*s, the role played by the Society in the Bri tish decision to establish its paramountcy at Lagos in 1851* the subsequent divergence of missionary and consular policies, and the decline of the Society*s influence in the mid 1850*s are first analyzed. This is later followed by an analysis of the factors that led to the annexation of Lagos in 1861 and the abandonment of the pro-Egba policy pursued thus far by the British authorities in Lagos. In the sequel, a collision of commercial and political interests led to a military clash between the Egba and Lagos in I865. Finally, the circumstances that .led to the expulsion of the missionaries from Abeokuta in 186? are briefly examined. The Society*s policy pertaining to education, economic development, and an African Church is discussed in detail. Its accomplishments and failures are explained by way of the long and protracted controversy between Henry Venn (secretary of the CMS from 1841 to 1872, Venn was its great theoretician and director) and Henry Townsend (leader of the Yoruba Mission, Townsend directed the opposition to Venn*s policy) on such questions as the involvement of European missionaries and native agents in commerce, the type of education suitable for Africans, and the role of native teachers in the Church. The outcome of the competition between European missionaries and their own mission-educated elite in the late 1850's is also investigated. In appraisal, the evidence suggests that the policy of evangelization, in proportion to energy expanded and numbers of bona-fide converts, was largely a failure at least by 186.1. Re latively few were converted to Christianity -- almost none in places of authority. A few lived in Christian villages around the Mission House separated from the rest of the community, and there the cultural impact was significant. However, the fabric of the old society had not given way, nor did it begin to do so until very late in the 19th century. Venn's policy for African leadership in the Church did not proceed very far largely because of missionary opposition. On the other hand, the Mission succeeded in establish ing the foundation of the educational system of Nigeria. The Mission also succeeded in encouraging the Egba to exploit their agricultural and commercial resources but failed in the endeavour to undermine the age-old " trust" system. Missionary education aimed at fostering the growth of a 'middle class* of artisans and entrepreneurs who were to cooperate with missionaries in reforming Egba society. The educated emigrants from Sierra Leone, however, were inclined to competition rather than coop eration. They competed with their white superiors for leader ship in the Church and for the ears of the traditional authorities, and, when they finally succeeded in capturing control of the Egba government^ they turned around and expelled them.

This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades before colonial partition in Africa, the Church Missionary Society embarked on the first serious effort to evangelize in an independent Muslim state. Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther led an all-African field staff to convert the people of the Upper Niger and Confluence area, whose communities were threatened or already conquered by an expanding jihadist Nupe state. In this book, Femi J. Kolapo examines the significance of the mission as an African—rather than European—undertaking, assessing its impact on missionary practice, local engagement, and Christian conversion prospects. By offering a fuller history of this overlooked mission in the history of Christianity in Nigeria, this book reaffirms indigenous agency and rethinks the mission as an experiment ahead of its time.
