Last four or five centuries have seen the complete domination of the west. Western ideas are only ideas that have been validated over the centuries, the other systems of knowledge have been systematically attacked and berated. The west exercised an influence that remained unchallenged for so many centuries. The west not only decimated the local institutions, but also thrust alien western institutions on these countries. These western institutions have played havoc with Africa. Till now these institutions have been sacrosanct, beyond any criticism; but now the African Writers have developed a critique of western institution’s influence on Africa of Western institution’s influence on Africa. The bold works of African writers beginning with Achebe have developed an intellectual critique of these institutions. This paper attempts a study of Achebe and Obioma who have criticized the transplanting of such ill-suited institutes on African soil.
