Even though Mr. Smith was known as a man who was firm in his

belief and only seen things in black and white, black being evil. That night that

that Enoch had unmasked the egwugwu, the spirits chanted through the whole village

with machetes and screaming, it was a frightful night even for Mr. Smith. The day after

Enoch's action all the spirits where headed towards the church. When Mr. Smith found

out he decided to wait outside on the church steps. When he seen them coming with their

machetes and armor, he was even more terrified. The leader of the spirits being Ajofia spoke

saying how he wouldn't harm him, the only reason being that he was friends with Mr. Brown.

He also mentioned how they came to tell him that the church was going to be destroyed being

that it has caused so many problems with in the clan. Now to end these problems they are going

to destroy the church. Now the village leaders of Umuofia must have felt like they still had

their power, that they had before the Christians had came. The village was taking in hand their

problems and resolving them as they seen fit, but was it right?
