The author of the book “Marriage is a private affair, how did he introduce Nnaemeka's father in the story? What did you learn about his father's personality/character?
Nene asks her fiancé Nnaemeka if he has written to tell his father about their engagement. Nnaemeka says he thinks it is better to wait to tell his father in person in six weeks, during his leave from work.
Nene is confused about why Nnaemeka doesn’t want to share the happy news sooner. Nnaemeka shyly admits that his father will not be happy to hear they are getting married. Nene is surprised to hear this, and so Nnaemeka explains that because she has lived in Lagos for her whole life, she knows little about people in remote parts of the country. Nnaemeka says that such people are unhappy if an engagement is not arranged by them. In their case, the situation is even worse because Nene is not a member of the Ibo tribe like Nnaemeka is.
