The customs, beliefs, and cultures of the nine clans in the book are distinctly complicated. In order to provide the reader a clear understanding of the dramatic contrast between the impacts of religious colonialism, Achebe goes to considerable lengths to present them as simply as possible. After his exile, Okonkwo returns to the Umuofia tribe, where Christianity has taken root. They want to completely eradicate the native social, religious, and political customs because they consider them to be barbaric.
