“Both the C.M.S. and the Roman Catholic pioneers were all united in denigrating the whole of Igboland as ‘the citadel of Satan’.

(Holy Fathers’ Archives, Paris 115/A)

"'Do unto nature as you would have nature do unto you," is the magnificent moral of the Pygmy legend cycle...Efe's laws command us to be ethical in our dealings with both man and nature.
