Twenty-Five Years in Qua Iboe: The Story of a Missionary Effort in Nigeria (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years in Qua Iboe: The Story of a Missionary Effort in Nigeria
In the present volume it has been the object of the writer to exhibit a picture of the work, as it is, around each of the six central stations. At the three older centres, more especially at Ibuno, a stage in the evolution 'of the native Church has been reached, which called for somewhat detailed treatment. It thus became necessary to devote more space to the labours of the earlier mission aries, than to those of the younger men.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey to Qua Iboe, a region in Southern Nigeria, as it was in the early 20th century. The author, a missionary, provides a detailed account of the land, its people, and their culture, drawing upon his own experiences and observations. The book offers a glimpse into the complex world of a region undergoing significant change, as European influence began to impact traditional practices and beliefs. From the bustling trade routes of the Niger River to the intricate social structures of the local tribes, the author delves into the everyday lives of the people he encountered, including their unique customs, their deeply rooted animistic beliefs, and the powerful secret societies that shaped their society.
