What was it about Nwoye's actions that disturbed Okonkwo so much?

Nwoye's actions prove to show him to be a man of Unoka's caliber, not Okonkwo's. It reflects badly on Okonkwo, and makes it hard for him to distance himself from his father. Further, Okonkwo has always had high hopes for his son up to this point, despite what has happened so far. This reality disillusions Okonkwo.

Okonkwo was disturbed by Nwoye's decision to convert to Christianity because it went against their traditional Igbo beliefs and customs. Okonkwo saw Nwoye's actions as a betrayal of their cultural heritage and a sign of weakness. Additionally, Nwoye's conversion meant that he was turning away from his father's authority and control.

If Okonkwo shows despair, he would be betraying the image of masculinity and strength that he has worked so hard to build in the community. It would be seen as a sign of weakness and failure, which could lead to loss of respect and status among his peers. Okonkwo's fear of being perceived as weak drives much of his actions in the novel "Things Fall Apart."

What upset Okonkwo most about his son Nwoye in Things Fall Apart?
Subjective answer: The thing that upsets Okonkwo the most internally, is the fact that Nwoye is too much like his grandfather Unoka. The one action that gets Okonkwo the most upset externally is finding out that Nwoye has been hanging around the Christians, at which point Okonkwo confronts Nwoye and nearly chokes him to death.

Ekwefi gives Ezinma the meal of roasted plantains and palm-oil sauce, despite Okonkwo's warning that Ezinma should not eat too much of it. This delicacy is a symbol of Ekwefi's love for her daughter and her defiance of Okonkwo's strictness.
What do you think his first day with Okonkwo would be like for Ikemefuna?
The day that Ikemefuna is taken by Okonkwo, it would seem as if he is being taken (with the consent of his tribe), away from his family to a foreign land by a huge warrior. Okonkwo is a strong silent type with a stern face, so I doubt much would be said between them.
