It's a Fight to the Finish Joseph C. Idigo

Ibiam, a town in Nigeria, is facing some quick changes as a result of British presence and her colonial administration. The people of Ibiam relish one thing and that is their culture that is intertwined in their own religion. This heritage is guarded jealously to a point that some of the diehard adherents are ready to do anything to preserve it.

With this present scenario a new religion comes into the scene. The people of Ibiam see this new religion as a threat to their culture that is already undergoing inexorable changes due to the colonial administration. At this juncture a battle for supremacy and preservation of the status quo begins to rear its head. Father Smith, the representative of this new religion, is now regarded as everything that has to do with the colonial administration and this new religion. The battle line is thus drawn. Ibiam is now ready to give this new block of development a fight with all the weapons in its arsenal.

It?s a fight to finish! is a breathtaking story of how the people of Ibiam methodically and intricately spin the yarn that eventually entraps the colonial administration in an entangling web of embarrassment.
