"Back home later that night, papa told mama it was sinful you don't bow to another human being" (93,Adichie)

Papa made Mama feel gulity because of papa strong beliefs by mama bowing to the Igwe man was very disrepectful to papa because they were going against his religion and beliefs. The next time that they were to have an interaction with an Igwe they wanted to make papa proud so they did not bow to the man.
