"The colonial economic order that neglected local crafts and industries but allowed the foreign trading companies to flood the markets of southeastern Nigeria with European manufactories facilitated the decline and eventual collapse of local industries especially those associated with women…Moreover, in few occasions when government attempted to train the natives in skill acquisition in textile and pottery/ceramic industries, only males were considered. Reinforced by a dysfunctional Western education, the colonial gender discriminatory industrial and employment policy excluded women from participating in modern industrial production." -Gloria Chuku
