Okonkwo is scolded because he feels that in order to be a strong leader he much show and prove to everyone out there that he has no feelings for anything or anyone. Okonkwo showed no affection because his father showed affection and Okonkwo strongly dislikes his father. He also believes its a female virtue. Okonkwo ignores the fact that he needs to worry about other things and people, he truly is a selfish man who believes his own ways. Okonkwo shows his affection the most when he had been exiled from the village he was native to. He is putting on a guilt trip for everything and doesn't give much attention to anybody. He denies showing his affections by being pity, even though his family gave him land, crops, support etc. He is slacking on everything he used to be know as strong for. All of these concepts stress the problems Okonkwo is putting on him self. Okonkwo believes its making him better by making everyone try to feel bad for him, but in reality hes causing more problems and making the situation worse.
