1857- Christian missionaries attempt to convert the Igbo

Missionaries thought that their main task was to preach, teach, and convert the Igbo to their religion.

Turn Of The Century- More Christian converts started to appear

Most of the Igbo listened to Missionary propaganda, but they still stayed away from the Christian Church.

Many Missionaries found that converting the Igbo was harder because they found that most of their time was taken up by doing odd jobs to help their own lives.

The Igbo would go to the missionaries if they were sick and ask for the Missionaries help.

The Missionaries modernized Africa and created a better transportation system so they could be more mobile.

Missionaries became more mobile with these new transportation methods.//
