Chapter Twenty
In this chapter, Okonkwo has move back to Umuofia, and is catching up on everything that has happened within the clan. He was very happy to return, and had many plans for his future; he wants to build his compound bigger, with a bigger barn, and build two new huts for two new wives, which brings him to five. He also had Ezinma, who is now old enough to be wed, wait till they returned to get married, the same with Obiageli, instead of marrying a suitor from Mbanta. But instead, he learns that his plans might be tough to accomplish, because most of the clan has lost its faith within the clan and has converted to Christianity. They talk about the chance of taking over the whites, and Christian, but realize that most of their clan now are Christian, and would go to the main town and bring soldiers who they call Ashy-buttock (because of the color of their pants)…hehe… and bring them back and wipe out Umuofia like they did to Abame. I think that maybe they few that are left, that follow the culture, should possibly pick up and move to an uninhabited area and get others from other clans to go with them and start anew. Then the ones that believe in Christianity would not be bothered by the unbelievers, and possibly they might be able to get the Christian believers to come back on their side and rid the land of the whites. They are ripping the clans apart, making them weak so that they can start slave trade.
