This work is the examination of " The development of false consciousnes in Ayikwei Armah's the beautyful ones are not yet born".Based on the hypothésis that each character is acting for his/her own interest,it is proved by using marxism approach that post-colonial society has accepted unfavourable conditions without questions or protest. We showed that post-colonial Africans perpetuated colonial wrong values based on consumerism that are imposed to the society as reality. It explores the proletariat and the bourgeoisie's attitude vis-à vis the post-colonial dealing0It clarifies at one side that the proletarian have developed false consciousness because ills have become friendly to them as a logical way of things to be. At the other size,it analyzes how the bourgeoisie have a luxurious life from the embezzlement of government funds, we have proved that Armah wrote to instil post-colonial low people conscious so that they should see what is happining around them and say no to nepotism, dictorship,misure of goverment funds,etc.He was also calling these so called post-colonial bourgeoisies for a self-correction.Therefore,we suggest that they have unwillingly accepted unfavourable killing systems and struggle for a better change so that "The Beautifull Ones" should be born because each change is the product of the struggle.
