Achebe is a Nigerian author who writes about different aspects of his country during his lifetime and the reflection of his society could be noticed very clearly in his literary works; especially, in his selected novel. Achebe based his most prominent characters in his novel like M.A. Nanga and Odille on some political figures of his time that have a major role in the corruption in Nigeria. In this sense, his chosen literary text can be seen and read as political source for his country.
