THINGS FALL APART - Scene 7

The dramatization of the epic contribution of Professor Chinua Achebe's book, "Things Fall Apart". The book, transcribed to more than 300 languages worldwide is renowned for its contribution towards the development of African History as till date, it remains a point of reference far beyond post secondary education in Africa and beyond. It is thought that the account, as portrayed in the book, depicts customs and tradition of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, and drawn from events as they happened in Ogidi, the Home town of much admired CHINUALIMOGU ACHEBE.

Also what does Igbo Kwenu mean?

[MEDIAFRICTV]

It is a way of greeting the the crowd. Same as saying "my people, I greet you".

[RealAFRO]

Igbo kwenu -is part of the longer version-, can be used in different contexts, it can be used as a way of calling the attention of the people, while at the same time sending blessings -Like the when added 'muo nu' (Meaning; reproduce), Zuo nu (meaning; live to train or brought up your children). It can also be used as a way to hype the people and as well as a show of respect to the people.

The Yea!! that people responds means, 'In agreement' or like Amen if you like...
