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.
There were 9 Igbo villages in Things Fall Apart. The main ones were: Umuofia: Okonkwo's home. Mbanta: Okonkwo's motherland. Abame: The slaughtered village. Mbaino: The village who killed an Umuofian clanswoman. Also: Ire: Home of Ogbuefi Ndulue.
In Chapter 24 of "Things Fall Apart," Okonkwo returns to Umuofia after his exile in Mbanta. He finds that the arrival of the Christian missionaries has significantly changed the village, with many converts and the destruction of the traditional way of life. Okonkwo struggles to rally the villagers to resist the influence of the missionaries and protect their culture but ultimately realizes that his efforts are in vain.
Ezeudu is an old and respected clansman in Umuofia. He has several titles and many children. He is noted for his warning to Okonkwo to not kill Ikemefuna. Later, he dies of old age, and a great funeral is held for him.

Obi Okonkwo is the first person from the 9 villages of Umuofia to go to England to be schooled post-secondary. Against the elders' wishes (whom provide him with the scholarship to be able to go there), he studies English as opposed to law. Becoming a senior-civil servant when he returns to Nigeria, Obi Okonkwo is caught up in a bribery scandal over 20 pounds and arrested.
