Aaaa...Ezinma(Doughter Of Okonkwo) Comments

nice poem, its staning you can write good poems keep it up.

wow - this is brilliant 10/10

wow this an amazing piece 'My mind is made up, Bring me his mask and skirt of raffia; Let me be the last man to lead Umuofia.' Okonkwo had his weaknesses however he refused to compramise....the last verse talks to me as a woman living in Africa today...Ezinma inspires me to take my place in Leadership and to fight for the africa of our forefathers. Thank You this poem moves me

you are very smart for such a young person, i dare say that i did not know how to relate to the book before i read your piece, this is very good....nice write keep it up

I gave this work a 10, coming from a young person who was not yet born when Chinua Achebe's masterpiece, 'Things Fall Apart', was written. In a culture given to a male-dominated perspective of life, the introduction of Ezinma, as the daughter of Okonkwo marks a landmark event, one that would not sit well with the traditional society. This poem comes fifty years after Achebe's novel and speaks volumes of the need for change of some of our traditions, especially those realted to the roles of women in society. Still I am a woman I shall now marry my father's memory.... Let me the last man to lead Umofia. This is exactly the focus of my novel, Forever Chimes, which, I hope, will soon make its way into international awareness - a girl can inherit the most precious heirloom of the family dynasty and be the true emodiment of all that the family holds sacred and noble.
