Okonkwo’s violence is starting to impact not just himself but the ones who are around him. He is committing crimes that may be accidental but in others eyes they may not feel that way. He wants to be the odd one and feels as if he has more strength and is much stronger than others. So he’s trying to prove his point but he’s proving it the wrong way.
First , Okonkwo kills Ikemefuna which was more like a son to him . Ikemefuna depended/counted on Okonkwo for protection and he completely betrayed him.

He also beats his youngest wife during the Week of peace which also makes others look at him differently because they are realizing he is such a violent person . Okonkwo thinks as if this is making his reputation better not realizing his actions are making people dislike him .
The actions he has committed all goes back to the beginning yes he may have not had a good household growing up but that's no excuse for the actions he has been making. He is ruining his reputation instead of trying to be better than his father and making a better reputation. Eventually his wrong will catch up to him because what he is doing is not right.

In this textual evidence they're basically saying one's actions can affect the ones around them, as I said at the beginning.
Overall, I believe that Okonkwo will be killed towards the end because he has committed 2 murders and plenty of domestic abuse. He is also very disrespectful to his Gods. So most likely some time soon they will feel that the best idea is to kill him
