afam4eva: Bros, how would 150 m peoples voice be heard? Its impossible. Moreover, it would be an avenue to create strife. There would too many mouths moving!!! |

jason123: That's why they're supposed to have representatives at the lowest level. |

jason123: What obtained in Yoruba, Benin or Hausa lands was a monarchical system of government or simply a king in council. It was not democracy by any stretch of imagination. Even the British did not understand the system of government in Igbo land as they raved about the societal organization in Yoruba, Benin and Hausa lands because it looked similar to what they practiced, thus, monarch. However when social revolution swept across entire European nations, the idiotic British could not summon the courage to accept the fact a superior system of government, thus, democracy existed in Igbo land before they visited Africa. |

afam4eva: hmmm sorry to bother you again but how low are we talking about here how much will they be paying each repersentative at the lowest level of about 100 people per repersentative |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by jason123: 11:06pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
afam4eva: Do you not think that the country would be disorgainsed if we follow that system Anyway, how low do you want it? and is that not what we are already practising by having councellors, chairmen, governors etc (although, its not practised perfectly) |

jason123: would you prefer military rule? |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Dede1(m): 11:09pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
~Bluetooth: Of course, my posts were centered on the pre-colonial era. Look pal, Ndigbo had classical democracy where age groups perform certain functions. Most of the age groups were congregated by first male child of the families or males who have proven themselves worthy of a title. |

Dede1:from what we know from history the system worked in village settings.so how do you bring such to present day nigeria situation ? |

Why are people inserting their own groups into this conversation? This was about the NIGERIAN STATE and what it can learn from Igbo Democracy. Not about what the Hausa or Yoruba can learn from Igbo culture. People need to stop taking it so personally. Igbos make up the Nigerian State, just like Urhobo, Ijaw, Hausa, Kanuri, Yoruba, Nupe etc. I think it is fair to say, that the Nigerian State can learn some things from its inhabitants. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Afam4eva(m): 11:20pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Akhenaten: many people on this forum view things from a tribal point of view. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by aljharem11(m): 11:29pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Akhenaten: you are right also igbos should also learn from other nigerian groups jst like how nigeria and briton have learn democracy from us igbos |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Nobody: 11:35pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
afam4eva:Not really about tribalism.i personally think the system is just being exaggerated here.how can it work in a multi-cultural settings when nigeria is not made of ibo alone ? |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Afam4eva(m): 11:36pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
~Bluetooth:You're right. That's why we should find something that suits us. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Dede1(m): 11:38pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
~Bluetooth: Are you the only person who does not know seeds gave rise to trees? |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Nobody: 11:40pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Dede1:roll eyez. I know that it's a must for you to want to sound smart, but plz stop posting like you're dealing with a demon within you. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by aljharem11(m): 11:42pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
afam4eva: afam, why not a system that represent every single ethnic group, as a form of Parliament, where every ethnic group leader can discuss on the issue of nigeria instead of just WAZOBIA also, there should be advantages to the community where resources are been mined |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Dede1(m): 11:46pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
~Bluetooth: This is one among many reasons Biafrans continue to agitate for a nation state they can call homeland. |

Ileke-IdI: It takes one dealer to know another. By the way, how body? |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by aljharem11(m): 11:49pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Dede1: how does bluetooth's post relate to biafra why do you have to bring biafra here |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Afam4eva(m): 11:49pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Dede1: Exactly. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by jason123: 11:50pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Dede1: . . . . and this is one of the problems i stated earlier. Our (nigerians) unwilling nature to compromise for the greater good of the nation would be Nigerian's downfall!! |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by aljharem11(m): 11:52pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
afam4eva: Dede1: afam, why na you were talking about pan-african crap before now u are talking about division is it not you that was talking about posters been tribal why change your stance now is it because other groups do not agree with your views (igbo system of democracy should be used in nigeria) |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Dede1(m): 11:52pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
alj harem1: Even if it is jammed to your nose, you will still not perceive the scent. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Nobody: 11:53pm On Jan 08, 2011 |
Dede1: hold on, make I ask the demon wey dey use am. jason123: Is there a problem with that? I actually like what the poster is presenting and his intellectual posts [so far. Hopefully he's not one of Andre Uweh's IDs]. Unfortunately, the paranoia Igbos are messing up his messages. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Dede1(m): 12:00am On Jan 09, 2011 |
alj harem1: This is what Americans termed as mumbo-jumbo. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Olaedo1: 12:03am On Jan 09, 2011 |
We should have more threads about the Igbos,seems to attract a lot of people, brings more discussion than about other tribes as well. |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by aljharem11(m): 12:05am On Jan 09, 2011 |
Ola edo: tell me about it we are popular |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by aljharem11(m): 12:06am On Jan 09, 2011 |
Dede1: sorry brother, can u explain how |
Re: Nigeria Can Learn A Lot From Traditional Igbo Democracy by Nobody: 12:07am On Jan 09, 2011 |
Dede1:What's the big deal about that ? the fact still remains that the system is exclusive to ibo and may not necessarily work in present nigeria.no hypocrisy at all. |
