TFA: Converting

          Converting to a foreign religion is a difficult choice for anyone, especially when your entire culture is against it.  Members of the Ibo culture who converted to Christianity were resented by their own villages.  The Ibo culture had their own religious beliefs that were put down when the white missionaries arrived, and they didn't want to go against them.  It would be extraordinarily difficult to suddenly change religion when you have believed in one particular thing for all of your life.  In addition, imagine that your entire family is Ibo and you convert to Christianity.  Your family would be divided, right?  They would be emotionally divided because, while you are still family, converting against your own culture would drastically change your social status.  Plus, for every Ibo individual who converts, the village loses a follower.  Imagine it like a giant game of Jenga.  For every person that converts, it is like removing a Jenga block, meaning that the village will evantually crumble.  With the Christians taking over, the Ibo become weaker, meaning they have more potential for destruction
