Okonkwo's pride, his ways, his culture and his legacy are at stake.
If the old ways are not maintained, he cannot become a great man in the eyes of his people. The people who follow the new ways (Christianity) do not respect him or his culture as he feels they should.
For Okonkwo, maintaining the old ways is important because he derives his identity and status from them, especially as a traditional and respected warrior in his society. His fear of failure and being seen as weak drives him to uphold these customs, as they define his worth and place in the community. Failing to adhere to the old ways could mean losing his honor, respect, and influence, which are crucial for Okonkwo's sense of self-worth and pride.
