The conflict between Obierika and Okonkwo is regarding his sons not being manly enough.
Okonkwo's action of killing Ikemefuna just to look manly and strong displeases Obierika
Explanation:
- While Obierika is open to changes and Okonkwo is bent on sticking with the traditional tribal rules and regulations.
- Hence, Obierika shows acceptance towards his British colonizers but Okonkwo deals with them violently.
- Moreover, Okonkwo emphasizes that boys should be manly but Obierika doesn't agree with this.
- Thus Obierika becomes wary of Okonkwo's aggressive behavior especially in matters concerning Ikemefuna.
