Ikemefuna

Was Okonkwo justified in killing Ikemefuna?

I think Okonkwo had a legitimate reason for killing Ikemefuna because the oracle said that Ikemefuna should be killed. The reason why it is legitimate is because the oracle is like their god saying that Ikemefuna should be killed. Though, it would be awkward for Okonkwo to kill Ikemefuna since Ikemefuna lived with Okonkwo for about 3 years. Ikemefuna has also grown a lot over the 3 years and also had a good influence on Nwoye. I also think that Okonkwo had no choice but to kill Ikemefuna because if he didn't, I don't think he would be very respected because the oracle said to.
