Choose between war or offering a young man and a virgin in compensation.
Nneka is the first woman to join the Christians in Mbanta in Things Fall Apart. Nneka had 4 previous childbirths, all of which were twins and thrown away immediately. During her 5th pregnancy, she runs away to join the Christians.
The village of Mbaino sent Ikemefuna to Umuofia as a peace offering to avoid war between the two villages. Ikemefuna was given to Umuofia as compensation for the murder of a woman from Umuofia by a man from Mbaino.
Ikemefuna is a boy from Mbaino who is given as part of restitution for an Mbaino clansman killing a Umuofian woman in their marketplace. He is taken care of by Okonkwo and his family while he is in Umuofia.
They were given the ultimatum of: (1) convert to Christianity, (2) flee Spain and its possessions, (3) submit to death.
Mbaino gives to Umuofia through Okonkwo: A young virgin and a young boy (Ikemefuna) to bring back to Umuofia. The young virgin is given to the man whose wife was killed in the marketplace of Mbaino. Ikemefuna is sent to live with Okonkwo until Umuofia decides what to do with him.
When given an ultimatum, he chose to leave the relationship rather than give in to her demands of relocating.
The exciting force in "Things Fall Apart" can be seen as the clash between traditional Igbo culture and values, represented by Okonkwo, and the encroachment of colonialism and Christian missionaries, which disrupt the existing social order and way of life in the novel. This clash sets in motion the unraveling of Okonkwo's world and the larger Igbo society.
