When he is home, Nwoye sees him alone and kind of depressed so in that moment he knows that his friend is dead and that was when he felt that something was breaking inside of him, he was feeling like he did with the twins in the woods.
Depression took power of Okonkwo, he stopped eating and the only thing he was drinking was palm wine all day. Some days passed and Obierika, Okonkwo's best friend, went there and argue with him about if it was right or not that he was involved in Ikemefuna's death.
Ezinma got really sick and everyone there was worried about her because she had been suffering a lot before this...nine of ten of the children she had, died very young. Just because she was sick Ekwefi took her of her during the illness, Okonkwo went there with an expert in medicine, he told her that Ogbanje was maybe tormenting them and that they had a wicked thing. They found the iyi-uwa and it helped Ezinma to get better and also with her problems.
There was a ceremony that almost everyone goes, and it is in the village; Chielo went so see Enzima so they go with Agabla to the mountains, Ekwefi was following them and Chielo takes her to bed, so Okonkwo was really worried about the stuff that was happening.
Time passed by and Okonkwo kills his son accidentally in the ceremony, they were having a fight but they didn't mean to shoot him; the ceremony was because Ezeudu died.
Killing someone from the clan was a crime against the earth goddess, so in Umuofia they tell Okonkwo to get out of there with his family for seven years, because of what he has done, Umuofia started killing Okonkwo's farm and burning his buildings.
