(education). According to the study, this development ushered in the dependency syndrome that defined Gbagyi modernity and continues to impede Gbagyi and his Minna society's evolution. The paper demonstrated the impact of this alien knowledge system on the Gbagyi in Minna and argued for a redefinition of the Gbagyi knowledge system that differs from the western educational tradition, which emphasizes superiority as a measure of educational attainment.
