Igbo Government and Social Structure

Details of the wart government and the social structure and social structure of the traditional Ibo government changed from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, but its characteristic character remained unchanged. Yibo's basic unit of living is a village group, the most common institution is the family's managerial role. This is usually the oldest of the oldest surviving generations. His role is primarily concerned with settling family disputes, and he has received great esteem and reverence because he dominates the path of communication with the most important ancestors.

Chinua Achebe was born in Nigeria in 1930 and lives in the area where Ibo people live. At this point, Nigeria was governed by Britain, they were already colonized, or they had political, economic and social control of the country. Prior to British colonial rule, Nigeria was divided into religious beliefs and words into towns leading to larger villages. Due to Achebe 's successful career success, he was invited to be taught for many years at various American schools, including Massachusetts College, Amherst University and Brown University. Achebe is a literary critic who challenges the traditional understanding of many famous books from an African perspective.

The political organization of warts before the colonial period was based on the community without the king or the governor general. Contrary to the general society, the development of different societies shows that the development of Ibo is quite different from the political trend of West Africa before the colonial period. In addition to Nor and Arochukwu, which is a town of warts like Orbis with the king of Onis, and priests of the king of Eze, most Ibo village governments are governed by ordinary people.

Except for ethnic minorities with a political tradition of royalty, the political system of wartime society is decentralized. The Nri community is considered the oldest royal system at Ibo. This approach differs from other areas of warts society in that it lacks central authority for organization and management. They developed a well-designed, highly ceremonialized pastoral king. In addition, Ibo people formed an important political structure by organizing a highly developed secret society as a tool of social control. (Afigbo, 1981)
