Bkayyy: Each time I travel to my home town and observe the perfect organisation and hierarchy in our society, I usually experience profound pride and joy. See Umunna, Ogbe, Villages and towns union administration. Igbos running their ancient republican system not minding the madness in Nigeria. Till today in igbo land, every son of the soil has equal rights traditionally. If you like be the inspector general of police, you can't get more than your fair share of ancestral land. 3 Likes 1 Share |

rossoki: And i'm asking what similarities exist in the system. From what we know, there was never voting in Igboland so how could they have arrived at electoral college? |

Agbegbaorogboye: "From what we know" lol You know nothing about the Igbo republican system. Infact if you know how a republican system works you won't make such dumb assertion that igbos do not vote. 2 Likes |

gwafaeziokwu:Give me an example of voting in Igboland. You guys self. Note that electoral college is not voting to go to war or on a fishing expedition. It's indirect voting to select a leader. So explain to me how Igbos vote to select their leaders. Besides, what evidence do you have that the Igbo system is older than the American system anyway? The American system was copied from the Greeks |

Hmm... Maybe they developed the USA too... I implore all historians to dig deeper that connection might be there and even deeper than you think. |

Swizerland to me practice the most enviable democratic system . Us election college system is flawed for many reason... |
Re: To Understand US Electoral Vote System, You Must Understand Igbo Tradition by Agbegbaorogboye: 11:29pm On Nov 04, 2020 |
PDSI:There's no such connection. Clapperton discovered Igbo land in the 19th century and American democracy was well under way then. Men like Thomas Madison and Benjamin Franklin who played important roles in American democracy were influenced by French philosophers like Rousseau and Voltaire. Except you mean the French took the idea of their revolution from the Igbo |
