Igbo is based on having a larger than life benevolent creator of the world called Chukwu. Below Chukwu there are smaller gods or errand runners for him such as the snake and wood gods. There is also a large importance put on the individual’s chi. Chi can either be good or bad, based on your actions in this life, and it will follow you into the

away completely no matter what. Another example is on page 180 when Achebe wrote, “ We make sacrifices to the little gods, but when they fail and there is no one else to turn to we go to Chukwu… We approach a great man through his servants… We pay greater attention to the little gods but that is not so… Chukwu is Supreme.’” By all means the Igbo tradition is not gone forever; there are some people in the tribe that still believe in the Igbo traditions, for example, worshipping an Igbo god, and those

CULTURE COMPARISON IN NIGERIA WITHIN THREE IGBO SPEAKING LANDS AND (YORUBA) LAND. Nigeria is a west African country with over 180 million people. It consist of 3 known ethnic groups, igbo’s, Hausa’s , and the Yoruba’s. The igbo’s (Biafrans) are known as Christians, the hausa’s are known as muslims and the yoruba’s are mixed Christians and muslims. However in this three ethnic groups there’s so much cultural, language and morality differences. But in this project, I will focus more on the within

Before Things Fall Apart was published, most novels about Africa had been written by Europeans, and they largely portrayed Africans as savages who needed to be enlightened by Europeans. For example, Joseph Conrad's classic tale Heart of Darkness (1899), one of the most celebrated novels of the early twentieth century, presents Africa as a wild, "dark," and uncivilized continent. In Mister Johnson (1939), which in 1952 Time called "the best novel ever written about Africa" ("Cheerful" para. 15), Irishman

Compare and contrast Okonkwo with Obierika and Uchendu. Okonkwo is a stern man who firmly believes in the Ibo traditions. He works hard and has a lot to show for his work ethic (Achebe 13). Okonkwo and Obierika both follow the tribe traditions when it comes to marrying off their daughters. Obierika however is more lenient in Ibo traditions. Obierika questions Okonkwo’s exile, he believes Okonkwo should not be punished for accidentally killing Ezeudu’s sixteen year old son (125). Okonkwo accepts his

When outsiders encounter a culture unlike their own they tend to make misconceptions about that culture. The British see the Igbo culture as dark and gory. Achebe sees it as a fully functioning society. The Nigerian community may seem odd and not functional when in actuality it is functional. For a society to be functional, it must have a culture as well as properties of a civilization. The British judge it as dysfunctional, but this is irrelevant to whether the society truly is or isn’t functional
