Chikita66:My dear sister it is not overhyped. That book is a reply to Joseph Conrad's heart of darkness and other books that depicted Africa as people with no culture. That book projected Africa in a good light as a people with culture, values and traditions. Not barbaric and making horrid faces as some foreign writers said. 7 Likes |

I think no. 9 is taken from "Things fall apart", wr one of Okonkwo's friends or relatives converted to christianity and registered his marriage with the church. During the marriage celebration, a cake was made, but the wife was the one whose hand was on the knife and she cut the cake, while the hubby's hand was on her hand. I remember the husband being mocked for being a simple and tolerating husband. That fact taught me that e don tey wey some of our papa dey romantic, even b4 white com wit e wahala.

Ejiod:I've read it and some of his books: 'No Longer At Ease' 'Arrow of God' My best quote from 'Arrow of God's is..... "It's a coward who shows a stranger the destruction of a brave man's house" That should be the chief priest advising the 'brave' Obika. (I stand to be corrected, it's a while I read that book.) 4 Likes |

1. A god who can kill his only child - a male child for that matter, what will he do to another man's child? I must follow him.. 2. The white man came quietly and peaceably with his religion, we were amused at the white man's foolishness and allowed him to stay; now, the white man has won our brothers, we can no longer act as one. The white man has put a knife on the cord that held us together and we have fallen apart. 3. Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer... Things fall apart, the center cannot hold, mere anarchy rules the world. 10 Likes |
