Unoka accepted the honor of breaking the kola.
Most of my notes are from my class. We had a spokeswoman from the Congo who explained scenes and the cultures through our texts. Here the kola nut is a symbol for saying "I'm with you. We are together." Eating the nut is by not splitting in half and eating separately (which is saying you deny the person). But it is traditionally eaten by slowly breaking it apart and eating side by side. She told us it's a bitter nut and no one really loves it, at least she doesn't. So it's mainly symbolic. Also mainly men preform this as they have more opportunities to do so.
