not nwoyes effection towards ikemefuna

Nwoye, who was two years younger, looked up to Ikemefuna. To Nwoye, his adopted older brother did everything an older boy was supposed to do and then even better, "He could fashion out flutes from bamboo stems and even from elephant grass....he knew the names of all the birds .....He knew which trees made the strongest bows." Ikemefuna took Nwoye under his wing and the two became "inseparable".
