In chapter 15, Obierika travels to Mbanta carrying heavy bags full of cowries to give Okonkwo. While Okonkwo is living in exile, Obierika has been watching over his friend's compound, harvesting his yams, and selling them for profit. Obierika promises Okonkwo that he will continue to look after his estate and bring him money while he is in exile. Obierika's loyalty is demonstrated in his willingness to help Okonkwo while he is living in Mbanta.
