Chinua Achebe’s critically acclaimed novel Things Fall Apart tells the story of a decorated and powerful chief of the Igbo village tribe named Okonkwo. Okonkwo is a strong independent man who came up from nothing in his life and refused to return to earth as the same way he started, he believed he was destined for greatness. Perhaps Okonkwo’s most driving factor for this is his father died a beggar and he became disgusted how his father went out with no achievements or accomplishments to his name.

Through my lifetime, I have witnessed the ever-changing world of business and the myriad of global and regional, socioeconomic and political changes accompanied with it. This has not only shaped my actual reality, but has also sparked a genuine interest in global affairs and International economics and finance.

This paper examines how the problem of money politics and political godfatherism can be eliminated from Nigeria’s politics in order to strengthen democratic governance in the country. The methodology of the study is essentially analytical and based on lessons from

The Fall of Pride Pride leads to one’s demise. As it led Okonkwo to his demise in Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart, his pride and ignorance retain those around him from progress, Okonkwo’s community and family fall apart because of his pride that lead him to take his own life. The quote “The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance.” and Achebe’s Things Fall Apart both present the idea that pride impedes progress.
