A very popular question among candidates.  Most of them understood the question and responded accordingly.  However, some erred by describing the process of the coming of the missionaries into Nigeria.  Those who scored high marks were able to describe the following points:

• formal western education was introduced that enabled people to read and gain employment;
• a new religion was introduced to the people and many were converted to it;
• Bible was translated into local languages;
• some unacceptable practices like killing of twins were preached against and discouraged, leading to their decrease;
• Nigerian culture was looked down upon;
• agriculture  was encouraged, etc.
