Part 2:Chapter 16-17

Chapter 16-17

            Chapter 16: When nearly two years past by Obierika paid another visit back to his friend. The missionaries had come to Umuofia and mark their landing of where the church was going to be built at. What had moved Obierika to visit Okonkwo was the sudden appearance of the latter's son, Nwoye, among the missionaries in Umuofia. Later on, there was the arrival of the missionaries in the village of Mbanta. They had came to tell about their belief.

            Chapter 17: The rulers of Mbanta had gave the missionaries the land to build their shrine. The land they have given up was the land of the Evil Forest. The missionaries had accepted the land which no one in his right senses would accept. Nwoye had been attracted to the new faith from the very first day, but he had kept that a secret. The villagers were so certain about the doom that awaited these man that one or two converts thought it wise to suspend their allegiance to the new faith.
