The Igbo had a more decentralized political system where decisions were made by a council of elders and the community as a whole. In contrast, the British colonial system was more centralized and hierarchical with power concentrated in the hands of the colonial administrators. The Igbo also practiced consensus decision-making, while the British imposed their laws and governance structures on the Igbo without their consent.
The war had devastating effects on the Igbo people, including widespread displacement, loss of lives, destruction of infrastructure, and economic hardship. It also led to deep societal and cultural trauma that continues to impact the Igbo community to this day.
No, Rivers State is not an Igbo state. It is predominantly inhabited by various ethnic groups including the Ikwerre, Ijaw, and Ogoni, rather than the Igbo people.
Britain's policy of indirect rule in Igbo society created tension due to the complex social structure and resistance to imposition of traditional leaders. This led to conflicts such as the Igbo Women's War, highlighting the challenges of governing through existing structures. Ultimately, indirect rule did not work as effectively in Igbo society compared to other areas in Nigeria.
It's not possible to count the words in any language, because there is no universal definition of what a word is. But most estimates place the number between 40,000 and 160,000 words(which is the same range for almost all other languages).Note: The language with the largest number of words is English, estimated at 170,000 to 250,000 words. No language has more words than English.
American English may seem more popular as it is used a lot in the Media and TV Shows but generally around the world, more countries do actually speak a variation of British English. This is because America has never had its own colonies in which it could spread American English which is different to the British who introduced British English to all of their colonies around the world during the British Empire.

I think that Communist government has more power than democratic government at this time.

Leaders are elected in democratic governments. Though some are more democratic than others.
State governments in the United States, following independence, were more democratic than British colonial regimes primarily due to their emphasis on popular sovereignty and individual rights. Most state constitutions established mechanisms for broader public participation, such as elected legislatures and expanded voting rights, compared to the limited franchise under British rule. Additionally, state governments often included bills of rights that protected citizens’ freedoms, reflecting a commitment to democratic principles that were largely absent in colonial governance. This shift marked a significant move towards self-governance and accountability to the populace.
because thats just the way it is !
Oh yes, non-democratic governments are even more prone to corruption than democratic governments are.
More than 20 countries in Asia and Africa do not have a democratic form of government.
It was a British victory although more British were killed than colonists, so I guess it accomplished killing more British than colonists.
More than 30,000 Kebeles!
