Chinua Achebe Quotes
If Ever A Man Deserved His Success, That Man Was Okonkwo. At An Early Age He Had Achieved Fame As The Greatest Wrestler In All The Land. That Was Not Luck. At The Most One Could Say That His Chi Or Personal God Was Good. But The Ibo People Have A Proverb That When A Man Say Yes His Chi Says Yes Also. Okonkwo Said Yes Very Strongly; So His Chi Agreed. And Not Only His Chi But His Clan Too, Because It Judged A Man By The Work Of His Hands.
