Ojiugo was Okonkwo's third wife and mother to Nkechi. She appears to be younger and less responsible than Okonkwo's other wives.
Ojiugo is beat by Okonkwo for failing to prepare meals for Okonkwo and her children.
They are not related by blood; they marry one another.
She tries to minimize Ojiugo's thoughtlessness. While not entirely clear, her reasons are possibly a sister spirit with the other wife, and a generalized fear of Okonkwo's anger. She is never seen to enjoy the suffering of others in the book.
Okonkwo's third wife has many children including Nkechi. The other children are not strictly named or not directly attributed to her.
Okonkwo waits for his afternoon meal from Ojuigo but it never comes. She went to get her hair plaited at her friend's house and forgot to return early enough to cook the meal. The first wife ends up feeding her children. Okonkwo beats Ojiugo for her negligence.
Okonkwo breaks the sacred Peace of Ani, also known as the Week of Peace, by beating Ojiugo, his third wife. He is forced to sacrifice to the goddess and repent. His neighbours look down upon Okonkwo for the sacrilege, and also for not being outwardly repentant, as they think he is not genuinely repenting.
