The introduction of Christianity to the Igbo people created conflict due to its imposition of new beliefs that challenged the traditional Igbo spiritual practices and customs.

In Things Fall Apart, the Igbo marriage negotiations and rituals differ from other nineteenth-century cultures where the bride's family pays a dowry. In Igbo culture, the groom's family is responsible for paying the bride price, which is given to the bride's family as a token of appreciation. The negotiations are typically a collaborative process between the families, emphasizing the importance of unity rather than a financial exchange.

That is completely incorrect. The Igbo people are not a "religious tribe," they are simply an ethnicity, and they have not been, nor are they currently, "canables[sic]".
Igbo people eat primarily yams (not sweet potatoes, but the large tubers that are white on the inside and rough and brown on the outside). Another primary staple are the varieties of vegetables, particularly leafy greens, which are often incorporated into dense and sometimes peppery soups. Igbos also eat rice, like pretty much the rest of Africa, as well as semolina/farina. Last but not least, meat is usually chicken, beef, goat, fish, and pork (although the last is not as popular as the others).
