Read the lines below from chapter 16 and answer the question. the imagery of the efulefu in the language of the clan was a man who sold his machete and wore the sheath to battle. what does this sentence suggest about the clans’ opinion of the efulefu? select all that apply. a. they are weak, ignorant, and cowardly men. b. they are the first clan members to become christian converts. c. they are not experienced warriors. d. they are worthless, empty men.

The correct answers are options B and D. In the Igbo clan in Africa, the efulufus were considered as worthless, empty men. They were the first converts among the outcasts attracted to Christianity.

In the Igbo tribes, there were some outcasts like twins, some of whom were killed at birht and also people with terrible diseases like leprosy  who were abandoned and casted out of the villages. They were mistreated and left aside.

In consequence, during the early Christianization of Igboland by the white Europeans, the new faith attracted the outcasts of the clans as they found that the new religion welcomed twins and people who were in the margins of community.

The efulufu were the first to embrace all the aspects of Western education and, ironically, became the ruling class of civil servants and administrators in colonial and postcolonial Eastern Nigeria. Not only efulufus left their own people's traditions and religion to join Europeans, but also fought on the side of the imperial power against their own Igbo people.
