Besides being a confluence of two great rivers, it also became the location of landmarks in Nigerias history, notably the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates. As it was also a confluence of various cultural clusters, the Niger-Benue confluence communities went through three phases of Western encounters: commercial, missionary, and colonial. These have combined to shape the sociopolitical profile of northern Nigeria in various ways. In particular, it is the cradle of Christianity in northern Nigeria. Yet social historians have often assessed all three foreign influences indiscriminately and overlooked the unique and fundamental impact of the missionary encounter in providing the treasured values that midwifed social stability in such a pluralistic and sometimes volatile environment. This study undertakes a separation of the strands and sheds light on the laudable initiatives and legacies of the missionaries to ensure more clear-minded interpretations.</p>...2002462Pathfinders for Christianity in Northern Nigeria (18621940)265368https://www.gandhi.com.mx/pathfinders-for-christianity-in-northern-nigeria-1862-1940/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1261336/dbce135c-c6cb-4acc-997a-6fa7eeb2b7cc.jpg?v=638337731701770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229781666706390_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9781666706390_<p>The rivers Niger and Benue come together at the heart of Nigeria on a map.
