This paper is an attempt to reveal how colonize used, ideological instrument to grab the thought of the African people in the light of Chinua Achebe’s No Longer at Ease. The unseen and unrealised instrument of European schooling system used by the colonialist has brought down many of Africans to their knee willingly. The ideological arsenal like European education has served the purpose of enslaving the mind the African without bloodbath and physical harm. This paper tries to show that the process of enslavement is more subtle and gentle as it was fought not on the battlefield but was fought inside the mind. The research is also an attempt to delineate the fact how the coloniser through the act of educational manipulation got over the seething resentment of the Africans without their being realized for the lost of their cherished cultures. Contrary to their antagonism they became the advocates of the colonizer.
