rn1+are+the+people+in+Ibo+society+equal

According to the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people#Identity the Ibo culture is arranged in a quasi-democratic republican system of government. This means that they were ruled only by a consultative assembly of the common people. In this way everyone's power was equal because they all had equal say in there government. The title holders were respected but never revered because of there accomplishments. Also, the government was watched over by the elders council. The leadership had been left upon the village council. The village council included the heads of lineages, elders, titled men, and men who have found themselves to be economically within their community.
