What i dont understand is, why Achebe is using parables borrowed from foreign land to warn and discourage his kins going to foreign land.

How could Ibo and this dike know what sea or mountain is when you have neither in your land? So why would the words of Dike have effect when the people it addresses are not a people of sea or mountain?

This thing get K-leg.

Go knock on Achebe's crypt. He will give you copy. grin grin grin grin


You must have knocked on the dead old grand tribalist and unrepentant bigot to obtain your own copy.

I didn't care for the ipob bigot when he was alive so visiting his bigoted crypt is totally a No No..

If don't understand an adage, just shut up. In Igbo land, it is a disgrace for a man to ask for the explanation of an adage. It means the bride price his dad paid for his mum is a waste.

I would want you to understand that in reality, Igbo Land have mountain as for the sea, no community had a sea, you can have a shore, every community can have access to the sea if they so desires but Chinua Achebe is a modern Igbo man so giving him more exposure
