"I am engaged to marry another girl... she is a good Christian and a teacher" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 2.)
"Teacher, did you say?... no Christian woman should teach... who is she, anyway?" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 3.)
"Nene Atang... She is the only girl I can marry" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 3.)
"I Owe it to you... to show you what is right and what is wrong... this idea... it is Satan's work" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 3.)
In this first scene, we see the conflict between arranged marriage and marriage by love.
"You will change your mind... when you know Nene" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 3.)
"I shall never see her" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 3.)
Okeke wants to force Nnaemeka to marry a woman he doesn't love. Nnaemeka wants to marry Nene, the woman he truly loves.
The Letter says "I decided just to cut off your wife and send it (the wedding picture) back to you... I have nothing to do with her... and I wish I had nothing to do with you either" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 4.)
In this discussion, the Universal Theme of conflict between parents and children is presented.
What if I die without making it up to my grandchildren.
Okeke casts his son out from his life.
Six months later, Nnaemeka was showing his young wife a short letter from his father.
Then one day he received a letter from Nene saying "Our two sons, from the day they learnt that they have a grandfather, have insisted on being taken to him" (Marriage Is a Private Affair, page 5.)
