It points out that the colonists attempt to substitute the tribal economic pattern for the Western economic pattern and coerce locals into preaching the new religion Christianity. They demolish Igbo’s agriculture and trade and provoke a conflict between African culture and Western culture. This paper also reveals the merits and flaws of the protagonist and tribal leaders and their differing opinions about Western culture. This thesis concludes that the disintegration of the physical home and spiritual home of Igbo due to the colonists’ colonialism, which ultimately causes the whole nation’s systematic destruction.
