 not perform well because they failed to provide the required answers to it.  They did not

3. he compiled a grammar and dictionary of Yoruba and other languages e.g. Nupe and Igbo languages so that the people could read and understand the bible;       
4.  he discouraged idol worshipping, social vices and converted people  to Christianity.
