"Men of Ephesus, doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?" Unfortunately for Araya, while the "whole world" knows of the open Bible and letter that fell from heaven, Araya is not the custodian of that mysterious treasure today! Although Christianity was first introduced to Onitsha on the Niger in 1857, the missionary activities were confined mainly to the Eastern part of the River Niger.

D. Aitken as the Pastor in charge and Oleh as headquarters.Second, a large number of lsoko became converted and were visiting Patani in large numbers. Although these converts were illiterate, they bought Bibles in English, which they put under their pillows "as a witness to God that they have left heathenism and have joined God’s company", as Reverend Aitken put it.Mr. Isara Ewhoboh of Araya was one of those who bought these Bibles. Indeed, whenever Reverend Aitken visited Araya, he stayed in Isara’s house. He was allocated a room in the house and its windows had to be blocked to shut out mosquitoes. That was not the onlyevidence. ...
