This question is based on Ferdinand Oyono's The Old Man and the Medal
The disagreement betweeen Mvondo and Nti centres on the latter's claim to have
assisted Meka in getting the medal
been in a whiteman's office
eaten more than his share of the food
eaten the entire entrails of the sheep
Explanation
The latter, Nti, claims to have been in a whiteman's office. This, the former,Mvondo, finds hard to believe because the whites hated the blacks and as such could not invite blacks to their offices.
