Christianity and Community Development in Igboland, 1960-2000: a Reflection

Abstract

The paper takes a look at the church and community in lgboland, 1950-2000. The paper sought to find out the extent to which the church has satisfied the needs of Igbo community in Nigeria. Primary and secondary means in the collection of data were used in the research procedure. Findings showed that modern church in Igboland is doing well, but not well enough in curbing some Igbo community ills such as corruption, unemployment, moral decadence, spiritual barrenness, academic decadence, economic bankruptcy, maladministration and political apostasy that are endemic diseases prevalent in Igboland. Recommendations in the way of strategies capable of improving the situation were offered.
