NOTE
THE STATE FORMATION PROCESS - NON CENTRALIZED STATES
Meaning of non civilization state
A non-civilization state refers to a society that lacks the complex social, economic, and political structures typically associated with civilizations, such as cities, writing ystems, and centralized government.
Features of non civilization state
Common features of non-civilization states include small, kin-based communities; nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles; egalitarian social structures; oral traditions for communication and knowledge transmission; and subsistence economies based on hunting and gathering, pastoralism, or simple agriculture.
Social and political organization of the Igbos
The social and political organization of the Igbos, an ethnic group in Nigeria, is characterized by a decentralized system of governance known as the "acephalous" or "stateless" society. Decision-making is usually done at the family or village level, with leaders chosen based on personal qualities, wealth, or age. The traditional political structure is based on the "ogboni" council, made up of respected elders and titleholders.
Significance of age grade in igboland
Age grade systems are significant in Igbo society as they serve as important social and political institutions. Age grades are organized groups of men within a community who are born within the same time frame. They progress together through various stages of life, undertaking communal tasks, resolving disputes, and contributing to community development. Age grades also serve as a means of socialization, education, and maintaining cultural norms and values.s
