During Exile

Okonkwo was received by his mother kings man and taken to Mbanta during his exile. When a woman gets married the final ceremony is the Ceremony of Confessions.The bride is asked questions and she has to answer them truthfully. During his exile Obierika visited him and told him how Abame was wiped out and three months ago on a market day a little band of fugitives came into town and during the last planting season, a white man had appeared. They decided to kill him and they did it. But it was a mistake because you don't suppose to kill a man who didn't do anything, bad future would be bought among the village and the white man did not talk.Obierika said Okonkwo could thank him by killing of his sons or himself. Obierika came back with more upsetting news. The missionaries had come to Umuofia and that he had seen Nwoye with the missionaries.
