• W1479880010 abstract "DOING JUSTICE WITHOUT THE STATE: THE AFIKPO (EHUGBO) NIGERIA MODEL By O. Oko Elechi. New York: Routledge, 2006. The book Doing Justice without the State: The (Ehugbo) Nigeria Model, vividly explains an essentially home-grown methodology of justice devoid of the rancour and violence of the western model despite the latter's imposition. Elechi successfully shows that the widespread perception of African justice system as oppressive and simplistic...(and) not capable of respecting the rights of women, suspects and other litigants (6) a misconceived notion. Emanating from a uniquely democratic community combining both aggregative and deliberative (Young, 2000, p. 18) characteristics and generating social inclusion from birth to death, Afikpo's model of justice reparative in orientation, centred (221), mediative and adjudicative (182). The system a lesson in representation and how victims ought to be treated. Human right, therefore, not a Western concept (73-74) as Elechi asserted. Elechi's elucidation of institutions of conflict resolution in Afikpo comprises an intricate network of age-grade groupings, matrilineal groupings, patrilineage (Umunna or Umudi) groupings, family groupings, elders' ad-hoc tribunals, Ogo cult, oath shrines, diviners, and traditional courts, which together form a highly functional system of justice. As Elechi indicates, there are measures, (albeit unwritten) for dealing with misdemeanours and crime. By working with the supposition that offenders harm more than the individual victim (204), a ground work for healing the entire community inherent in the model of justice and guards against recidivism. The only unimpressive area in the model of justice the handling of cases of sexual abuse of women, which not taken as seriously as it should (171) because of the highly patriarchic structure of as well most African societies (192). To the credit of the system, however, sexual assault victims are never alone as they are wont to under today's so-called modern criminal justice system. Why do justice without the state? Elechi's book clearly demonstrates that the state in Nigeria nay Africa is not just weak but essentially vacuous. The state self-evidently weak in terms of the Weberian ideal-type (Chabal & Daloz, 1999, p. 1) Nigeria both exceptional and typical of the African experience (Mazrui, 2004, p. 5). Elechi points out that even though the belief in very strong in Nigeria, state courts do not recognize the crime of witchcraft (186). This a clear indication of the failure of the Nigerian state as well as other neo-colonial pseudo-states to resolve the legal confusion bequeathed to them by the colonialists. Just as indigenous laws went through the repugnancy during colonialism, there an urgent need for received laws to go through a purgation test to ascertain their appropriateness for the African social milieu. …" @default.
