Obierika visits Okwonko because in Umuofia he saw Nwoye among the Christians. When he asked Nwoye what he was doing, Nwoye responded that he had embraced the new faith. And when he asked Nwoye about Okwonko, Nwoye responded that Okwonko was no longer his father. Greatly disturbed, Obierika visits Okwonko, but Okwonko does not want to talk about Nwoye. Obierika hears the truth from Nwoye's mother.
