Okonkwo is the guardian of Ikemefuna, who lives with Okonkwo's family and sees him as a second father. Okonkwo has affection for him, but he does not show it so as not to appear weak before the other members of the tribe. So much so, that when the Oracle determines that Ikemefuna must die, Okonkwo is the one who kills him despite not having the obligation to do so, to demonstrate this strength to the rest.

It might be said that it is the narrator who tried to "educate" the reader about slavery.  he did it through moral conclusions and comments. These might give a serious and dramatic tone to the story. 
Through his narrations, the reader gets to know the characters and their actions. he also speaks directly to the audience in his own voice, he is angry, amused,sarcatic, etc. His changes would affect the tone of the story.
