1. Okeke firmly believes in the importance of following tradition and adhering to the customs of his Igbo culture. When Nnaemeka informs him about his intention to marry someone outside their tribe, Okeke reacts with dismay and asserts, "Marrying outside our own clan is not our custom" (Achebe 6).

2. Okeke expresses his disapproval of Nnaemeka's decision to break away from tradition by marrying Nene.
