Trash, trash, trash, arrant trash as usual!..
Not did he only Publish/ptoduced it, he also wrote. He needed someone of an igbo extraction who would help interprete/translate from English to igbo.. fortunately a certain Jonas a bond-servant who worked under him in the mission came in handy. Not only in igbo, but also wrote & produced vocabulary in Yoruba & igala( I suppose).
There is no doubt that Ajayi, being the first west African Bishop established the first mission school & church in igbo land in the town of Onitsha & was later handed over to JC Taylor at the end of his sojourn.

For the record, Ajayi did not translate the English Bible into igbo,rather his igbo counterparts took a leaf from his monumental work( of translating English Bible into Yoruba) & were greatly inspired to write the igbo version. Once again Yoruba leads, igbos copies & follows.
Kiss the truth!

Let me require it again so you can wait out delusional defense.

In 1857, an ex-slave of Igbo extraction, Simon Jonas, wrote the first manuscript written in Igbo language, 'Isoama-Ibo Primer'. This was done in Sierra Leone for emancipated slave from Igboland in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The Igbo dialect spoken in Sierra Leone is called Isoama/Isuama-Igbo. Ex-Lagos slave, Samuel Crowther, published it as a book. Both Jonas and Crowther stayed together in Lagos before being shipped to Sierra Leone.

The REAL HISTORY exposed. Make it e pain you some more. Tell una usual rewrite to your over deluded ethnicity
All your Afonja brother did was take credit as usual after someone else did all the work.

Bollocks ! They were on a quest to conquer and dominate, using religion as a front.

Of course there were missionaries among them and there were economic migrants as well, but in a nutshell you should be grateful to God that they came to Africa at all. Maybe by now, the Oracle would have been demanding for your head as a sacrifice to appease the angry gods and your father would have easily donated you to avoid further wrath of the gods!! So stop whining as if you are not enjoying the benefits of their coming to Africa. The Nairaland you are on now is as a result of their coming to Africa, your phone is as a result of that, your electricity in your house is as a result of that, also that you went to school is as a result of that. Stop complaining for no reason!!!

Thanks a lot... Did you notice the organized communal system? The way the chiefs insisted on consultations and the way a pre existing traditional representative system was beckoned to welcome the strangers? You noticed the bravado exhibited by the man that was intrigued by their "noses"? Typical igbo stuff. I have always said it here. The best type of communal democracy was practiced in igbo land. Some of that exist up till this day. Those who think that monarchy in their places at that age represent a more "sophisticated" political organization are just petty thinkers... Monarchy marks obedience to one man... Communal representation in the process of decision making ,in my assessment is even far modern than some atavistic monarchies..

Of course.

ike! Ike! ike! How many times have I called you..... Let the great Afonjas enjoy their eternal glory na!.
Where have you heard that a servant writes for his master to print most of all what the master needed was the servant interpret into his dialect for the master to put down in writing.

Chinua Achibe has moulded you in the art of revisionism.
Kiss the truth!

[/b]They seemed to have no idea of sin. Everything is so new and strange to them, our appearance as well as our message, so it is no wonder they do not unerstand. Our work would be entirely hopeless if we did not believe in the Holy Ghost.[b]

So before the missionaries came we had no idea of sin, we lived in peace and harmony without greed. So they came, taught us what is sin and what's not but instead of us getting better we got worse . the whole world is practically swimming in sin.

If the whites taught us about sin , who taught them what should be a sin and what should not? Did they know this by divine?

I need some answers Coz I 'm confused.

How can a slave be master? Your Crowther was a SLAVE to the white man. His worth was less than that of a stone. While the two others worked, he lazied about then came to collect credit like your typical afonja. As usualong, the credit claiming gets exposed thus making una Afonja yet again a comical, lazy, bunch.

Ike!!..I salute you. You're a true son of a revisionist. Stop believing in an invalidated feeling, an abyss of self-disorientation. If "a slave' could rise to become a Bishop while the freeborn served under his authority. Then who is ACTUALLY the SLAVES. The joke is on you.
Truth is talking!

See revisionist calling another revisionist while at the same time stupidly confirming what I said.

Your Crowther was a SLAVE to the white man. A lazy Slave at that who stole credit

Read the point again, it sure flew over your head. One slave crowther equals 100 Ebo slaves. Ask Jonas(his igbo servant)
Kiss the truth!
