Why is the Igbo society referred to as acephalous?
The Igbo pre-colonial political system was described by many scholars as an 'acephalous political system' which can be translated as 'a leaderless or chiefless political system'. Each family head in the village held the 'Ofo' title and altogether formed the council of elders.
