Things Fall Apart Uchendu’s Speech

Uchendus Speech Saving Ourselves My friends and fellow Ibo, I come to tell you the evils of the detestation called Christianity. To see what I assimilate seen in my homeland Mbanta, I cannot ensure upon these people with respect and camaraderie. They have stolen our brothers and sisters, angered our gods, and assaulted our age old culture. As a member of this tribe, I cannot stand by and watch the final stage of our peoples traditions. My parole-in-law, Okonkwo, was known throughout his fatherland and all inhabit villages as champion of the greatest men of his time.His achievements were famous, and he had always hoped his son would carry on his legacy. His oldest son, Nwoye, had betrayed Okonkwo by switch overing to the new religion. You may ask how one can ignore the lessons of his father and the examples of hard work, dedication, and loyalty to our customs. But the dismantle the protective mother lion can lose her raw rookie who runs after a little bug. Nwoye was intrigu ed by the new people, and unfortunately he had been tainted he did not want to return to us.I understand the Christians recite they teach our people civil behavior, but to take a young boy away from his own father is just inhumane. We must fig out our children right and protect our sons and daughters from being taken by the Christians. They tear families apart. They have soiled our tribe, our traditions, and our hopes. If this continues, Mbanta, Umuofia, and Mbaino will be no more unless we stick to our customs. If our sons and daughters convert to the new religion, any hopes of preserving our history will be ruined.
