His only education was the one he got from his master as a second hand clothes seller. His is loud and a heavy drinker and he is an "expert " in the history of Nigeria. 1 Like |

Igboid:LOL. "Crowther was a mere figure head in CMS gospel to igboland"? If you give an ibo man a pen, he would change a straight line to a curve. Why are you so much darkhearted to the extent that you belabour yourself way too to erase any external imprints on the ibo race. I can imagine how hurtful it is that your "imaginary enemy" can't have an influence on ibo history. Quite unfortunately for you, history predates you and there's absolutely nothing you can do to erase the past. Time and events was kind and gracious to Crowther to have played a major role in the history of ibo nation. Calling the first African Bishop a mere figure head shows you're diametrically opposed to reasoning. At the time Crowther was ordained a Bishop, there was no African missionary that wasn't under the leadership of Crowther. There was no expedition or mission assignment under CMS that were done without his approval, although he himself was answerable to the highest body of authority. Taylor was far more learned and a junior missionary than Simons who was an house boy to Crowther. Simon served Crowther as an house boy in Sierra Leone. In my earlier comment, I stated that Crowther worked with missionaries of ibo descent on his expedition to Eastern region. To achieve a measure of success, Crowther worked closely with natives of different places of destination as he laid the foundation of Christianity from Onitsha, Bonny, Abeokuta to Lokoja. 2 Likes |

Putindbutt: Crowther was an administrative figure head as far as gospel in Igboland was concerned. He couldn't interact with Igbo natives, he spoke no Igbo, the small Igbo he tried to learn in Sierra Leone from the slaves there ended up being Useless when he got to Igboland as he found out he couldn't use it to interact with real Igbos on ground. So yeah, he was a mere figure head. An administrative dinosaur, as far as gospel of CMS is concerned in Igboland. Simon and Taylor did the real work and reported to him as their oga. It's madness and foolishness to suggest that Crowther wrote Igbo Bible or brought the gospel to Igboland. Quit the stupidity. |

Igboid: Very obvious you are talking from a place of pain, throwing tantrums like a typical loser. That book you called "useless" was the beginning of formal Education in iboland. Other works that came after improved on it with a more general dialect among the locals. Knowledge is never static, books are revised. Crowther, with his works, laid every blocks of foundation from Education to Christianity, not only in iboland but the old Eastern region. Like I said, history predates you, centuries before you were formed in your mother's womb, history had been made that a certain Bishop Ajayi Crowther gave you a reason to be proud of your tribe. "Administrative figurehead"...Lol. There's always something up the sleeves of ibos to flip their self esteem just for the charade. 4 Likes |

Putindbutt: Someone who couldn't speak laid down foundation of Igbo language. No be juju be that? You speak from a position of inferiority complex. Crowther life work was translation and production of his native Yoruba language. Why can't you be happy and contented with that? Why do you have the insatiable need to claim that a man who couldn't speak Igbo language laid down the foundation of Modern Igbo language? Are you okay at all? 1 Like |

Igboid:I saw you and your ilks pasting several documents from earlier centuries. Have you ever thought about how the Europeans who couldn't understand a word of your language were able to write your history despite your ancestors unable to read and write. Don't be slow. Language is hardly a barrier to a linguist . One of such renowned linguist of his time was Crowther. 6 Likes 1 Share |

aribisala0:@aribisala0 Ogbeni, I'm NOT making anything up here! I have a vast knowledge of world history and I've been a collector of a broad range of major historical books since the early 1980s. "Chef" on a slave Schooner ke? Lol Okay, one of the older history books in my collection clearly states some of the foods (such as boiled yams) that captives were occasionally fed with on the slave Ships. Another book I read under the Asanti Empire made reference to the NEW YAM festival that took place in Asantiland in the 1800s which was recorded by some European visitors. New Yam festivals are also celebrated from time immemorial in Yorubaland and by other ethnicities! This clearly shows the importance of yams in the cultural ascendancy of some West African groups. NOTE: I was already correcting the unintended error in my post (which an NL poster had kindly pointed out to me) when your NL mention also appeared. I didn't proofread that yam origin part of my post properly before posting because I was in a rush. Lessons learned. You are absolutely correct that yams are native to Africa. Yam species are also NATIVE to Asia, South America and the Caribbean. Gracias. |
