Abstract

This article shows the multi-functional role of oratory in Achebe’s novels set in traditional Igboland. It analyzes the way the Nigerian writer supports the idea that in traditional Africa, the art of speech-making would serve as an illustration of cultural vitality, a constructive means for political action, or a destructive weapon in the hands of rival factions.
