WHAT IS THE CORRECT NAME FOR A PEOPLE ? IS IT NOT WHAT EVER THEY CALL THEMSELVES? IF A PERSON WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE PEOPLE MISPRONOUNCE THE NAME, IT SIMPLY DOES NOT COUNT. THE CORRECT NAME IS IGBO AND THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE 'IGBO' HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM THE READERS.

SECONDLY THE IGBO PEOPLE ARE NOT FRAGMENTENTED AS FRAGMENTATION IMPLIES A KIND OF DISORGANISATION. THE IGBOS SORT TO BUILD A FORM OF GOVERNMENT THAT IS DEMOCRATIC IN NATURE AND DECISIONS ARE MADE THROUGH CONGREGATION AND CONSULTATION OF THE PEOPLE.ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ABSENCE OF CENTRALISED GOVERNMENT, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE IGBO LAND WAS NOT EFFECTIVELY RULED.IT WAS ORGANISED AND RULED BY TITLED ELDERS RAHTER THAN AN INDIVIDUAL.ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMUNITIES RULED BY DIFFERENT ELDERS , THESE ELDERS MUST FOLLOW THE GENERAL COSTOM OF IGBO LAND. THE METHOD THEREFORE INSURES THAT NO SINGLE PERSON CAN HAVE TOO MUCH POWER.THE IGBO MAN IS VERY INDIPENDENT AND WAS NOT UNDER THE YOKE OF A DICTATOR.
