    Achebe uses lkem to reveal his concerns and to view his judgement about African independent states and the political and social problem it is suffering from.lkem is portrayed as the voice of the voiceless,he speaks on behalf of the Abazons.lkem is againstthe injustice that was being practised within the country,he was trying to expose the victimisation that was done to the Abazons.He tried to publish such actions but because of fear and cencorship he nearly failed,but that did not stop him.He still tried to assist the Abazons though he ended up killed for thus the auther had viewd his message.The auther"s use of lkem was a success and also viewd the dangers of being strong willed in the game of politics.
