AN ENCOUNTER WITH RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN UBOMA LAND

Abstract

The theory of evolution proposes that human cultures (including religion) go through a process of development beginning from the lower or simple to the higher complex form. As part of a larger Igbo society, the clash of missionary religions and Western culture left Uboma with some continuity and discontinuity of their traditional practices. Some of the basic questions this research work had attempted an answer are, was the effect of religious change felt in Uboma land? What are the agents of such religious change and how the Uboma people react to such menace? What has remained of Uboma after the so-called clash of the cultures?
