Had_one: They're of equal class to your thinking?

So what are the differences?? can you describe "first class", "second class" & "third class" traditional ruler? where & when did these categorizations start, Was he first-class amongst nigerian traditional rulers or just first-class over his kingdom?? It's not making sense to me, I'd appreciate some answers.

Igala people are evil anywhere you have more than one of them at work. Like GEJ would say: "I don't give a damn"!
