Status Updates From Things Fall Apart

Chapter twelve. I am Halfway through. Very much into this book. Okonkwo is an interesting main character. A harsh violent man with 3 wives and a few children. The burden of his father’s life drives him to live in the opposite. Being driven, showing strength, and abolishing laziness to replace it with ambition. Ambition that shows in his wrestling and Yam harvesting.

Really love how the author scatters world-building information throughout so far . Loving these Igbo terms as well, reminds me of Vagabonds; how it nonchalantly incorporates native words

I think it’s so interesting that Agbala is the Oracle but agbala (lowercase) means a woman or a man with no title. Is there a difference in the vocalization I wonder to distinguish the difference. Crazy how the word can mean something way above you that knows more than you but also use it to demean someone.
