Ekwefi was a woman who loved wrestling, and fell in love with Okonkwo when she saw him throw Amalinze the Cat. She wanted to marry Okonkwo, but at the time, Okonkwo was too poor to marry. She ended up marrying another man, Anene, but after a couple years she ran away from him during the night to Okonkwo. Okonkwo took her and made love to her in his obi. Ekwefi became Okonkwo's second wife. Her love of wrestling remained. She bore child after child, but they all died during their early years until she had Ezinma. She treated her daughter Ezinma like a sister, as an equal. She continued to have children with Okonkwo, and fathered at least 10 children with him. Ekwefi often drew Okonkwo's rage, and was beaten by him occasionally. After one particular beating near the Festival of Yams, she made fun of Okonkwo's lack of prowess with a gun. This remark earned her a near-death experience, as Okonkwo discharged the gun at her, but did not end up hitting her. During one day, her daughter Ezinma was taken by the oracle Agbala's representative Chielo late at night. Worried for her daughter, she risked the wrath of the Gods by secretly following Chielo around the nine villages and back to her cave home where she communed with Agbala, all in very low light. Her daughter Ezinma also came down with the Iba or fever one day. She feared for Ezinma's death, but Ezinma managed to be healed by her father, Okonkwo. After Ezinma's iwi-uya was found, she felt much more relieved. Ekwefi continued to stay with Okonkwo, following him in exile to Mbanta, and then back home to Umuofia.
Okonkwo planted his first yam crop early in the season, but there was a long drought and the yams ended up scorched and dried. After replanting his yams for that year, the rains finally came, but became torrential rains that would not stop. The second batch of yams became soggy and moldy and did not grow. Both of his crops in his first year failed miserably.
Well, honey, it's a little bit of both. Okonkwo's choices definitely played a big role in his tragic downfall, but you can't ignore the fact that fate had a hand in it too. The dude was a hot mess express from the start, so it's no surprise he ended up crashing and burning.
No the estates general were created centuries before Napoleon Bonepart was born. They ended before he took over.
It pretty much started before we even became a country and in some places it hasnt even ended

Okonkwo was a masculine man, and expected his son to follow in his footsteps. Nwoye ended up being more effeminate, and either way could not follow in his father's footsteps, instead being obscured by his shadow.
This never happened.Okonkwo beat Ekwefi during the New Yam Festival. Okonkwo beat Ojiugo during the Week of Peace.

There are plenty of ways you could have ended Things Fall Apart.You could turn it into a science fiction novel and have aliens abduct the villagers.Okonkwo could discover a time-machine and be transported back 50 years ago, trying to find a way to prevent the colonization before it is too late.You could turn it into a comic book ending and have Okonkwo develop mutant powers.You could turn it into an animated movie ending and have the commissioner abduct Ekwefi. Okonkwo would lead a fight of the Umuofians against the commissioner and ultimately save the princess!Okonkwo could be executed publicly. He would openly denounce the evils of the government and show his pride by being willingly defiant in the face of execution.They could pull a switcheroo, having some other man take Okonkwo's place for execution. Okonkwo could then lead a secret resistance against the colonials.You could turn it into a meaningless ending by having a nuclear war start, with the entire village being destroyed by a nuclear bomb.
It was already beginning to lift before this, but WW2 completely ended it.
Slavery ended before Lincoln died.
