Obierika found his kinsman, Amadi, among the missionaries in Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart." Amadi was a convert to Christianity who had become a teacher for the missionaries and was instrumental in spreading their message in the village.

Okonkwo, personally, though I found Obierika could have been more developed. However, then Obierika probably would not have been able to fulfill his role as the foil.
In chapter 20 of "Things Fall Apart," Obierika expresses doubts about the wisdom of the District Commissioner's book title, "The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger." He believes that it misrepresents the complexity and richness of Igbo culture and society, reducing them to mere "primitive tribes" in need of pacification. Obierika argues that the book fails to capture the true essence of the Igbo people and their way of life.
Yes. Things Fall Apart had many things falling apart. It also represented the gradual tearing away at older values that modernization brings. The title ties in with a conversation Okonkwo has with his best friend Obierika, about the white man cutting the ties that held their civilization together.
In "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, Akuke is the wife of Obierika, Okonkwo's close friend. She is portrayed as a hardworking and supportive woman who is respected within the community. Akuke plays a minor role in the novel, but her character helps to show the supportive relationships that exist within the village.

Only Obierika's reaction is shown in Things Fall Apart. Obierika is driven to despiar and anger at the District Commissioner and his men. He considers Okonkwo one of the greatest men in Umuofia. Later, in Arrow of God, it is revealed that Okonkwo was lionized as the symbol of the pride of Umuofia and the Igbo as a whole. Okonkwo rejects living in a world where he would have to sacrifice his pride and demean himself before a greater colonial power.
