Why would this decision be incredibly challenging for an individual? Why would this be incredibly challenging for the larger community?
This decision would be challenging for someone because they have been believing in their religion for their whole life, and if they switch, they would be changing their beliefs that they have believed their whole life. Another reason why this would be challenging is because the person's family would be upset with that person if they switched religions since mostly everyone in the Ibo society do not want their beliefs to change. It would also be embarrassing since the culture would look down at the person for leaving.
