Opis

The scope ranges from the historical foundation to the present day. The work however, focus more on the contemporary implications; socio-economically and politically. The work also covers the efforts made both individually and governmentally to abolish the system and Igbo nation like every other nations in the world, has certain traditions, customs, culture, beliefs and worldviews, which constitute their dos and don'ts. Most of these traditions are handed over to them from one generation to the other, from their great fathers. The violation to these beliefs and traditions are seen by most of them as a great abomination (Aru).1 Thus, they give a strict adherence to the laws even when they are no longer obtainable in a given epoch like in this contemporary era when and where scientific inventions, globalizations, civilization and so on have become the order of the day.
