In pre-colonial Igboland, autocratic rule was made difficult by the absence of a centralized system of authority.
The Igbos were Republican by nature. They maintained a decentralized and acephalous society. It was highly democratic and egalitarian. Some traditional institutions were recognized specially in the administration of Igbo Society and they were as follows:
1. Village Assembly
2. Council of Elders
3. Age Grades
4. Ozo Titled Holders
5. Priest of Deities
6. Masquerades
7. Cult
8. Umuada, etc.
All these made the autocratic system of government to be very difficult in Igboland.
