EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of young apprentices in the Industrial Department at Qua Iboe, Nigeria, West Africa, circa 1910s. The image offers a glimpse into the past of this significant period in Nigerian history, as the country underwent rapid industrialization and Christian missionary influence. The apprentices, a mix of boys and men, are seen posing proudly in front of various machinery and tools, their expressions reflecting a sense of determination and focus. Dressed in simple work clothes, they appear to be engrossed in their tasks, eager to learn and contribute to the burgeoning industrial sector. The Industrial Department at Qua Iboe was established as part of a larger missionary effort to promote education, employment, and self-sufficiency among the local population. The missionaries, who were predominantly British, believed that industrial training would help to reduce the reliance on traditional farming and hunting practices, and ultimately lead to a more prosperous and stable community. This photograph is a testament to the transformative power of industrialization and the role of missionaries in shaping the economic and social landscape of Nigeria during the early 20th century. It also highlights the importance of apprenticeship programs in providing opportunities for young people to acquire valuable skills and gain employment, paving the way for a more industrious and self-reliant future.
