- W1569671675 abstract "A number of scholars have pointed to the loss of traditional Igbo egalitarian political institutions that accorded women a more integral role in pre-colonial Nigeria than exists now. This indicates that silencing womens voice and limiting their exercise of leadership as observed in many Igbo communities within and outside Nigeria today are not intrinsic to Igbo culture. They are an aftermath of the introduction of medieval Western Christian notions of womens inferiority into Nigeria by British colonizers Christian missionaries and the Nigerian male elite favored by the change. Many present-generation Igbos have no memory of these empowering traditions. Consequently they oppose change and wrongly accuse Igbo women who resist male oppression of not knowing their culture or of having lost it through exposure to the Euro-American womens movement. Incidentally womens current participation in government both in civil society and in Catholic Church leadership in the predominantly Moslem north of Nigeria far surpasses that in the more Christian southeast where women are often thought to be freer. This essay explores the seeds of gender equality in the egalitarian traditions of pre-colonial/pre-Christian Igbo society as possible sources of womens emancipation today. It also demonstrates how Judeo-Christian biblical cultural myths which reinforce current Igbo African cultural beliefs that control women can be reinterpreted to facilitate real equality in inter-gender relationships.
