Ignoring Tradition

Is tradition important? Should we listen to our elders and continue to do what has been throughout history? Kids often ask themselves questions about the importance of the past. Chinua Achebe‘s “Dead Men’s Path” delves into the importance of tradition and how a young man reacts to some old - fashioned traditions. Tradition is something to be treasured and respected, although Obi illustrates neither action. Both culture and tradition are important, and should not be ignored or dealt with in the manner of Obi, the main character in Achebe‘s “Dead Men’s Path”; he thinks of tradition as disadvantageous to the school he works for and does not seem to care about the significance that this path holds for the villagers.
The young gentleman named Obi in the story seems to be a productive twenty-six year old who gets promoted to a high position at a school. His actions throughout the story prove that he obviously thinks that tradition is less important than what is happening at that moment. He believes that these villagers should not be using the footpath that crosses the school property he works at. Obi does not care too much about the tradition of the villagers and the fact that they have been doing this for generations. He looks at it as useless to him and his school, so why have it. The villagers try to explain to Obi what this path means to them. “Our dead relatives depart by it and our ancestors visit us by it. But most important, it is the path of children coming in to be born”(43).

Obi just does not care and blocks the path that takes the villagers to the place of burial. The theme of the story conveys that tradition should not be ignored, and that the history of certain things in life should not be forgotten, especially if it means so much to some people. Obi does not look at it from this perspective, and replies to them by saying “dead men do not require foot paths”(44). Obi is basically saying that dead men are not here right now so why should they care about them. It does not seem like Obi is doing this with the intention to harm these people. Obi takes advantage of the position of power he has at the school as a headmaster and does what he thinks is best, and that is to get rid of the path and make the area around the school beautiful. Obi seems to have a lot of confidence, and it almost seems like he has the mentality that no one can stop what he wants, and that is to show other people how to run The Ndume Central School.
It is interesting to see how something that means so much to a group of people can be ignored and looked at as not important by someone else. Sometimes one’s tradition and the way they do certain things is looked as weird and not ordinary by outsiders. “It amazes me that you people allowed the villagers to make use of this footpath. It is simply incredible”(43). Obi is speaking of the footpath without knowing anything behind it. My family fasts and donates money to the people that need it most at a certain time of the year. This is part of our tradition and it’s something that has been done for a long time period. I can’t imagine someone that does not know much about our culture at all, come up to us and tell us we cannot keep doing this.
Michael Obi is hired to help the school become progressive and successful. However, he does not accomplish this. Obi does not want the inspector to see random villagers around the school premises. He ignores the history and significance of this path by blocking it. What comes back to haunt him is the villagers getting angry about the situation, tearing down everything around the path and the inspector seeing this the next morning. Everything that Obi does backfires in the end and what he exactly hopes for not to happen happens. The inspector writes a bad report about the school. In the end it is his arrogance that gets in the way of his work. Obi thinks that he is the smartest person and that he could do no wrong, and we see that he loses everything because of this. If Obi left the path alone both he and the villagers would be better off.
