"Umuofia was feared by all its neighbors. It was powerful in war and magic, and its priests and medicine men were feared in all the surrounding country." pg.11
This explains a lot about there culture, like how strength is regarded so highly. It was sort of strange to find that they feared magic so much because our culture does not trust in magic it trusts in science for healing. When i read this quote i could not help thinking what an advantage it would be to have neighboring villages fear you, then you would have to go to war only if it was completely necessary because no one would be willing to attack you.
