He was not only the finest poet of his generation but I believe that as his work becomes better and more widely known in the world he will also be recognized as one of the most remarkable anywhere in our time.
Ajayi Crowther – The Triumphs of A Legend
₦3,500.00 ₦3,500.00Crowther opened numerous missions up the Niger and Benue rivers, from bonny to Lokoja to kippo hill, earning the trust and friendship of the local kings, he translated the bible fully into Yoruba and partially into Igbo and Igalla. Unfortunately, however, the last two years of his long and eventual life were to be marred by controversy and bitterness. Some priests sent down by the CMS from England on a visitation on the Niger Mission returned very negative and destructive reports. As a result, the Bishop already over 80 years old, suffered a stroke from which he never really recovered. He died in the closing hours of December 31,1891. This play is about those last, painful years
