I suppose they take a big risk by converting to Christianity. Obi's father who converted to Christianity and likes the ways of the white man. Obi was always closer with his mother, but still sought his father's approval. Obi's quiet and loyal mother who converts to Christianity for her husband but retains aspects of her own culture, such as a reverence for folk tales and firm views on Obi not marrying an osu. She threatens to kill herself if Obi does marries an osu, which is one example of how their relationship is close but dysfunctional.
