What is Okonkwo's view on the missionaries?

In Things Fall Apart: Okonkwo appears to be initially curious like everyone else. Upon meeting them for the first time, he comes to the conclusion that the missionaries are crazy. Not only do they consider the powerful Igbo gods harmless, but they also go on about man who has a mother but no father. Later he believes that they are a disgrace, breeding abominations of the villagers, and should be forcibly removed. He is disappointed when the village of Abama declines to remove the missionaries by force. In No Longer At Ease: Obi Okonkwo views many of the missionaries as wanting to bring civilization to those who have already been civilized.
