Detailed Explanation

The rise of 'African Initiated Churches' or 'Nigerian Native Churches' in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a response to the perceived racism and Eurocentrism of mainstream missionary churches. It signified a desire by Nigerians to establish their own spiritual and religious autonomy, free from colonial control and interpretation.

Hint

These churches emerged as a form of resistance and self-determination against foreign control in the religious sphere.
