This paper examines how European colonial naming, religious conversion and interference has altered the identities and behavioral patterns of Africans. A book that captures this reality very well is Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe. Crusoe not only proves European ingenuity, but influences in real life how a people consciously comply with imposed values. Crusoe has a busy schedule because of the high stakes, such that, when he comes out of the enclosure where he performs various tasks, nothing will remain the same again. Crusoe names a native Friday, converts him to Christianity, changes his crude and uncivilized ways, and teaches him to speak English. While reforming the man to become civilized can be contentious, the other values have stuck among Africans since the colonial times. Africans have almost dropped their native names and traditional ways and are satisfied handing European names, for instance, to generation atter generation. Christianity plays its own role, as the traditional religions are being phased out and the indigenous languages going extinct. This writer undertook this project as a result of efforts being made to rescue what he can. It is hoped that more people would be won over to engage in this exercise. Suitable books, articles and newspaper publications are relied on for this work.
