IgbosDestroynSA:At least you read where he talked of a certain"God"being worshipped even before the coming of Christianity. Igbos used "Chukwu" (God) as names before the coming of religion. |

IgbosDestroynSA:Although Crowther was great, but he didn't bring Christianity. Many missionaries from same Sierra Leone had worked in Igboland already. Rev Taylor (Igbo origin previously based in Sierra Leone) was working at Onitsha already and did a lot of research on the native religions and beliefs. 2 Likes |

1Sharon:Do not go around throwing abuse around . You have absolutely no idea how people spoke over a hundred years ago. He wrote in the language of his time(his dialect) for the people of his time . Nothing stops you from improving his work. Do you know how many translations there are of the English bible ? Do people still use thou, thee , knowest , knoweth , thine when they speak in 2021. He did a job without pay the like of which has not been matched. You seat down after overdosing on eba and lazily call him a house negro. I guess you want to practise the phrase 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Antivirus92: Actually he is right 1. Maize is native to Central America. It was brought here by the Portuguese in the 16th-17th century..and spread across the African continent. 2.Cassava also came here from South America. Brought in by the Portuguese. 3.Cocoa was also brought in AGAIN...by those Portuguese..this time in the 19th century from South America. Gabon was where they planted it first. 4.Sweet potato came in via the slave trade. (It's native to Europe, and the Americas...the first White American settlers were introduced to it by the Native Americans in the 17th century) 5.Tomatoes...again colonization too is very very responsible for bringing them here..... Other foreign crops...rice, cocoyam, palmoil, cotton(cotton growing here started in the 19th century because of the American civil war). What were we eating before these crops came here? 1.YAM...in all varieties. 2.Millet (been here since 2000 bc at the earliest) 3.Fonio....indigenous to these parts 4.Cowpeas/beans (something that black Americans consider a part of their cuisine even now) 5.Vegetables...a lot of vegetables, and also a lot of meat from wild and domestic animals.. 6.FISH, snails, mushrooms 3 Likes 1 Share |
