Hi i am okonkwo and i am well-known among the nine villages. I have never actually thought of being so successful.As a young man at the age of eighteen,i managed to take down Amalinze the Cat,the reason why i put in so much effort in whatever i do is because i want to be successful.I don't want to be thought as the weak and be like my father Unoka.I have a hatred for my father,he is lazy and improvident,he was always in debts because he was constantly borrowing money from our neighbours and not paying them back.I felt disgraceful to have such a useless father.So i made up my mind,did not want to use my father as a good example because he never showed anything that was worth learning.

Twenty or more years has past.....
Now i have fame,family and most importantly i have 3 wives.I am tall and huge,i keep my eyebrows bushy to give a stern look,hopefully people would be afraid of me and treat me with respect. Now having a family and 3 wives, i am constantly under alot of pressure as i need to make sure that my family gets a good life.Most of the time,i am exhausted and have a slight stammer.I am also constantly forgetting what i want to say as i have too many things in mind and this make me very frustrated.I have no patience with unsuccessful man,like my father Unoka and this was my main reason why i had zero tolerance for unsuccessful man.I would not forgive my father for being so useless even though this happened a long time ago.To be honest,the only good thing that my dad could do was to play a flute and that was in his younger days.When he was grown-up,he was a failure.I was also humiliated as people often laughed at my father for being a loafer.I really wish my dad was like his good friend Okoye who was a musician but had a large barn full of yams and has 3 wives too.When my dad died,he died with no title at all and was also heavily in debt.I really feel that my dad's life was meaningless.I am really glad i have two barns full of yams and a rich farmer too!I am also really happy to be the total opposite of dad,as i was one of the greatest man of my time at a young age.
