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.
Ikemefuna is the boy that is sent to live with Okonkwo. Eventually the boy becomes much like Okonkwo's own son, and Ikemefuna even calls Okonkwo father.
Not too much is significant about the gun Okonkwo owns. As Okonkwo is not a good hunter, it has rarely been fired. When Ekwefi is mad at Okonkwo she remarks the gun 'has never been fired.' Unfortunately Okonkwo hears this, and flies into a rage, discharging the gun next to Ekwefi.
Okonkwo's illness implied that he had not eaten for 2 days, that he was drinking too much and that he had not gotten proper sleep.
People see him despairing. Uchendu is telling Okonkwo not to despair over being exiled, as he is not the greatest sufferer in the world. He must think of the future, and not see coming to the motherland as a punishment, but as a placement to be comforted when things do not go well in his fatherland.
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.

"Okonkwo was clearly cut out for great things. Achebe highlights Okonkwo’s ambition and drive to succeed, mirroring Africa’s own potential for greatness." "In Okonkwo's story, we see the struggle between tradition and change, much like Africa's own struggle to balance its rich history with modernization." "Okonkwo's tragic flaw, his fear of failure, resonates with Africa's own historical struggles with colonization and loss of identity."

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.
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.
