Best Answer

if you are referring to chapter 15 of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, it is a metaphor. it means that the white men have come to colonize or "settle" as locusts do.

What is Oracle in the Shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice?

Basically he is saying that some men look wise by saying nothing--they seem to be like an Oracle who will make a wise prediction.
