Chielo carried Ezinma away.
There is not really much evidence in chapter 11 to support the conclusion that Ezinma is spoiled as a child. Ezinma is told a story by her mother, and given a piece of fish before her journey with with Chielo, but there is nothing greatly out of the ordinary. Chielo carries Ezinma.
The priestess crawled out of her cave with her belly to the ground like a snake. With Ezinma on her back, the priestess travelled back to Ezinma's home and placed Ezinma in her own bed to sleep.
In Chapter 11, Chielo (priestess of Agbala) goes into Okonkwo's compound at night and takes Ezinma away.
Ezinma calls her mother by name, not Nne. Ekwefi also allows Ezinma to eat eggs. They talk to each other more as companions. Ekwefi only has one living daughter, so she treasures Ezinma. Ekwefi neurotically worries about Ezinma, as if she might pass away as well.
Ezinma was an ogbanje child and Ekwefi is her mother. Since an ogbanje child is on whom dies but comes back to cause the mother pain, this shows that this was what Ezinma was supposed to do. Ezinma is the only child Ekwefi had and this was why. Because she is the only child, Ezinma and Ekwefi are very close.
Ezinma returns to Okonkwo's compound with the help of her mother, Ekwefi, after she falls seriously ill. Ekwefi follows the Oracle's instructions for Ezinma's healing, which involve taking Ezinma to the shrine and administering special herbs. This treatment helps Ezinma recover and return home.
Ekwefi is devastated and terrified when her daughter Ezinma is taken away by the priestess of Agbala. She follows them to the shrine, showing her deep love and concern for her daughter's well-being.
People assume that Ezinma is special and holds a close relationship with her mother, Ekwefi. They believe she has a strong spirit and resilience due to surviving multiple childhood illnesses. Additionally, some in the community think she may have a strong future ahead based on her intelligence and independence.
