RE: ADSactly History : History Of Northern Nigeria [Part 4] - Igala In The Pre-colonia Era

in #history5 years ago

You continue with your interesting series on African ethnic groups, @samminator. I value this group and I like that they take women into account in their administrative organization. Reading this, I am curious to know what role women play in the other previous groups. I agree with most people when I think that while oral tradition is accepted and used by many cultures in the world, it must also be said that there is a certain subjectivity in each version offered in that way. We have discovered that the transmission of information in this way, orally, can be changed, distorted and even lost. As for the image of food: it looks delicious! I imagine it's a mixture of rice and meat. Thank you for sharing. ;)

Thanks Nancy. In some ethnic groups in the Northern part of Nigeria, female administrative heads are not so common. Though there are some ethnic groups where women are part of the cabinet, like the Kanem-Bornu, the Magira title is purely reserved for women, which is normally reserved for the mother of the king (the Mai)
