Chi is believed to represent a person's personal god and destiny in Igbo culture. In Okonkwo's case, his chi is associated with his successes and failures, guiding his path and influencing his destiny. Okonkwo's actions and decisions are therefore shaped by his belief in his own chi, impacting the outcomes of his life.
By working hard to become a well-respected man in his village, he had become just that. However, the case where he said yes, but his chi did not also say yes, was when he was exiled. This was a case where Okonkwo said yes, but his chi denied him the same affirmation.

Ezeudu warns Okonkwo not to participate in Ikemefuna's killing because Ikemefuna calls Okonkwo "father" and has been living with them for three years. Ezeudu fears that Okonkwo's involvement in the killing will bring him harm and cause his chi to turn against him.

Such a question shows the vast misunderstanding of the quote. In the first part, the elder wanted Okonkwo to be humbled, and not so derogatory to other lesser men, but in doing so, he chose a common phrase to get his point across. Everyone knew Okonkwo came to his success not through luck but by hard determined work. His success despite his first poor harvests (due to weather) further highlighted his hard work surpassing the ill hand he had be dealt; this includes the lack of inheritance from his father. As Okonkwo had worked hard, so did his chi favour him. When a man says yes, his 'chi' says yes also.
