Okonkwo throws a large farewell feast inviting all of his kinsmen; he slaughters 3 goats when 2 would have been sufficient.
Okonkwo's mother was buried in her homeland, Mbanta.
The leader of the Mbanta in "Things Fall Apart" is Uchendu, who is Okonkwo's uncle and a wise and respected elder in the community. He provides guidance and wisdom to Okonkwo and his family during their time of exile in Mbanta.
Mbanta is the name of Okonkwo's motherland.
He is not. He grows yams in Mbanta instead. Okonkwo previously had yams stored in Umuofia, which were transferred to Obierika's barn. These were then sold by Obierika, with the proceeds given to Okonkwo.
Okonkwo goes to live in Mbanta, his motherland.
Okonkwo originally lives his life in Umuofia, but he is exiled for seven years. During this time, he lives in his motherland, Mbanta. He eventually returns to Umuofia.
Okonkwo burns the church in Umuofia.Before that, he mocks it, advocates for its removal in Mbanta, then settles with ostracizing it.
By killing someone's son, the person to continue the father's heritage, Okonkwo is banished to his motherland.
Okonkwo last remembers visiting Mbanta during his exile after accidentally killing a clansman, which is considered a female crime in his society. This visit is significant as it marks a period of reflection and connection with his mother’s family. He stayed in Mbanta for seven years before returning to his original village of Umuofia. This time in Mbanta deeply impacts his outlook and sense of identity.
After being banished from Umuofia, Okonkwo goes to his mother's village, Mbanta, to seek refuge and protection from his mother's kinsmen.
Okonkwo is discouraged by the fact that he has to come to Mbanta in the first place. He is discouraged that he is unable to take part in his village's high society, and that he has lost so much. His great passion was to be one of the lords of his clan, but that avenue was now blocked to him.
