Yyyeepp, I've seen it and according to the past question, I'm correct.

D proces thru whch d pple governed demselves b4
d advent of d foreigners is pre-colonial system. D
IGBO pre colonial adm,was acephalous cos igbo was
egalitarian society. It was a form of direct
admnistration. D folowin were involved .i. Ozo title
holder ii. Ofo title holder iii. Age grade or group. Dre
was no recognised traditional ruler,da ofo is made of
heads of each family n da mting is presided by okpara
(eldest amng dem). Age grade is pple of same age
bracket,dey maintain peace, build roads e.t.c.

Pre-colonial admin in was igboland was actualy a
decentralised one, there were neither a kings nor
kingmakers, hence there was fusion of power in d
system, their democratic principles were upheld as
evrybody participated in d process of govering, political
office was not hereditary, so, the system was more of
a republican. The political authority was shared among
d various independent unit. (Village Assembly) which
was made up of d family head dat represent their
respective families . . . .

. . . .
d OKPARA who is regonized as d most senior, heads the meetings. They also
have (AGE-GRADE), they were serve as law
enforcement agents i.e as police, army in orda to
maintain law nd order. They were also have (OZO
TITLE HOLDER) priest, they were presided over d
meetings of village asembly, they also helps in settling
disputes nd other disagreements among their subjects.

PLEASE ANYONE TO HELP WITH THE HAUSA PRE COL. SYS. AND D VARIOUS FUNSTIONS OF D OFFICIALS ??

Hausa pre-colonial system started during the reign of Usman Danfodio who was said to have established the sokoto caliphate.... It is centralised and have being ruled by a leader called a Emir.

FUNCTIONS OF EACH POLITICAL OFFICE
Emir = leader
Waziri = Administrative officer (deputy emir)
sarkin dogari = Police head
Sarkin madawaki = Head of the local soldiers in the emirate.
Sarkin Ruwa= Head of fishermen
sarkin kasuwa = head of commerce

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS
The executive functions is exercised by the Emir and it's emirate members. The emir called them when a important issue is raised, but he has the right to make the final decision.

LEGISLATIVE & JUDICIAL FUNCTIONS
The legislative which is the power making body, is followed and exercised using the HOLY QUR'AN which they follow in making law as directed by Allah in the holy book. Though minor rules can be created by the emir himself which doesnt need the consultation of the Quran.
While the judicial function is solely exercised out also by following what the Quran says. Example is Fornication which is the Quran is said to be puishable by 100 strokes of the cane. All judgement passed out in mainly bu consulting the book but in the cases of minor incident like fighting, the emir can exercise that himself...
IMO: citation needed if am wrong in any of the write up above.

Thanks, @Excelboi.
But pls how about the Madawaki, the Alkali and the Galadima......, also, who's the Prime minister ?
