Was the culture of the igbo effective in meeting the needs of their particular society or did it indeed need to fall apart at the hands of the white man in order to improve it?

The Igbo culture was effective in meeting the needs of their society before the arrival of the white man. The interference of the white man led to colonial oppression, the imposition of new systems that disrupted Igbo society, and the exploitation of resources. The downfall of Igbo culture was not necessary for improvement; rather, it resulted from outside interference and colonization.
