Things Fall Apart Chapter 16

Obierika comes back to Mbanta after two years. He brings money and also some distressing news. He has seen Okonkwo's son Nwoye with the white missionaries. They settled in the village. Okonkwo will not speak of Nwoye. He excommunicates him from the family for believing in such a stupid religion. Apparently, the christian missionaries came to the village and talked about this one great god. They told the villagers that it was wrong to worship little stone and wooden idols. They also said that is was wrong to have more than one wife. Most of the villagers laugh at the missionaries, but Nwoye believes them and converts to christianity.
