I believe sharing the gospel is a good thing, but I believe condemnation is wrong. I cannot agree with a group of people who take advantage of a society, try to change it and then say it is for the good of the local population. They should be able to choose. “As soon as the six men were locked up, messengers from the court went to Umuofia to tell the people that their leaders would not be released unless they paid a fine of two hundred and fifty bags of cowrie.” (Achebe 195, 196). White settlers, especially missionaries, came to civilize the locals and spread their faith. But instead they force the locals to change their way of life and then threaten the lives of the locals if they do so
