Nwaele should have share and discus his secret with his girl friend
openly. Discussion could make the situation easier for both of them.

Nwaele was going to marry this girl. He can not keep a secret from the
person who he wants to share one life. If he shares his secret with
his friend from the village, that could be a violation to his mother's
stipulation. In this situation sharing could have been honesty to his
future wife. His mother also violate a stipulation, I believe she
could have understand Nwaele clearly.

Nwaele should keep his secret until death. He could have said that it
was his mother lucky charm, and without it he won't be a to wrestler.
Using this lie could had prevented the girl from putting oil to the
charm.

Yes, he should violate his mother's stipulation. If he didn't he could
had lost the girl of his life. Moreover, the mother did violate a
stipulation from his father, so she should have understood his
reasons.

First of all his mother gave him the charm with purpose. Nwaele was
living alone in a very bad condition. He had only one friend. He was
eating whatever people trow him and sleeping in dust. Nwaele was
leaving in shame and isolation. His mother, after she obtained pardon
from her father, gave him a charm which will make him strong and
artful in wrestling. She knew that if he become strong in wrestling he
will be rich and famous. In the end he become and he found love. He
did not need to go to wrestling again. I think using the charm should
have end in that day so it would not cause his death. There was not
any need to keep his secret from his girlfriend.

I think he should have told everything to his mother and his wife. In
other words, if he had prayed and said to his mother who was goddess,
she would have solved his problem. Also, I guess, his mother might
hope that the son depended on her, and she might wait for him to talk
because she was his real mother. In addition, she was goddess who
favored human beings, so she would had helped him completely. Next,
if Nwaelele had said his girl friend, she also would have helped and
understood him. In my country, a saying goes that it is fast to
recover from a talkative patient's illness. That means if more people
know about the patient's dieases, there is possibility to find better
treatment. Thus, he could not keep the secret.

I think he should have said the truth to his girlfriend. If she had
known that throwing the charm on the floor Nwaele died, she would
never have done this. On the other hand, I think that it would be
difficult for Nawele to keep such a secret for a long time, specially
from a closer person.

Nwaele should have discuss the issue with his girlfriend due to the
fact that they were going to get married. Not keeping a secret between
partners is a great way to build trust. However, because of the
conditions and cosequences that he had, the issue should have been
discuss very carefully

I believe Nwaelele's situation is very hard to handle even in real
life, as Shakespeare said "the magic of first love is our ignorance
that it can ever end",and I believe Nwaelele's love for his girl
friend was real. we all know that even in our own live is very
difficult to keep a secert to someone we say we love.

In real life, if Nwaelele decided that his girlfriend was the most
important person to him and she would be his wife in the future, he
should honestly tell her about his secret. Honesty is always the
best.If his girlfriends knowed the secret, she would try to protect
him. Therefore, honesty is the best way that Nwaelele should do in his
real life

In real life, Nwaelele should have given her girlfriend enough
confidence about his love so that she would have trusted him; however,
he should have kept the real secret for ever as his mother stipulated
it. In fact, Nwaelele should never have told her that the dirty string
around his waist was a charm. Instead of that, he could have said that
the string was something important for him; in this manner, if she
really loved him, she would have respected his secret and she would
not have asked for it anymore.

this situation is very complexe in real life. Nwaelele by sharing his
secret with his girl friend won't respect the promise that he gave to
his mother. this became complexe to him because now he had to satisfy
both the person how are very important for his life his mother and his
girl. i believe that is the reason he shared only half of his secret
with his girl in odre to keep the promise that he gave to his mother
half way.

Nwaelele could not said to his girlfriend that the string was
something important for him because his girlfriend was a curious
girls. Sooner or later, she would find out. Best of all, Nwaalelee
should tell her honestly about his secret.

In this world, there is no secret that lasts forever. Nwaelele should
have discussed with his mother first before he told his girlfriend.
Then his mother would understood him and let him tell the secret with
his girlfriend.
