Full textThe pana are a small ethnic group living in central african republic at the border between cameroon and chad. Their number is approximately 30 000 people in c. A. R and about the same number living in cameroon as expatriate. Up to date no reliable work has been published on their account. During the french colonial era, their land was included in a. E. F, first in moyen-congo, then in tchad and oubangui- chari. Between 1911 and 1916 it was under german control. As opposed to the dominant ethnic groups in c. A. R. (gbaya and banda) their language and far-off history are not "oubanguian" ; they must be related to the mboum of cameroon (adamawa area). The purpose of this research is to show how -although involved in the scheme of modern local institutions such as mayors appointed by the government- they have been able to partly retain their traditional model of power. It consisted in a dual chieftaincy with a "belaka" considered as the leader for profane matters and a "gangpana" or sacrifice leader representing the very essence of the group ; the latter being the descendant of the founding clan, he - still nowadays- is the only one allowed to reach the top of the sacred moutain (mont pana) to commmunicate with the ancestors ; thus he is the one transmitting their messages to the living and the one worth conducting rites on their behalf. Up to the fifties, the belaka had to be inthronized on the sacred mountain by the gangpana to be accepted as the pana leader. Because of a colonial history embedded in violence ("kongo wara" rebellion and "caves war" 1928/1933), eventually the belaka was considered as not being worth the sacred rites any more and ceased to be both a religious and a profane leader. However, up to 1993, the mayor of ngaounday (main pana town) always was a descendant of the specific clan to which belakas had been born since the first decades of this century. He did not make any important decision without taking the advice of gangpana and of the elder. The second purpose of this work is to give a comprehensive picture of the history of this group which only tardily entered in contact with the europeans (1906) ; this has been achieved through a very documented work in different colonial archive departments (aix-en-provence, vincennes and potsdam). Other information has been gathered through numerous interviews conducted in ngaounday

Full textThe language area in a bamileke chiefdom is a monograph on one of the hundred chiefdoms which are located in the center west of camerron. It is called bangoua and it has six thousand inhabitants. This monograph consists of five parts, namely: the history of the chiefdom, the kinship system, the way society is organised, economical development and social structure. The historical data shows that this society was made up by the progressive overlapping of a segmentary lineage system and chieftain-centred political organisation. The independant analysis of these two institutions reveals that, although they both have the same basic structure, beliefs and economical activities promoted by the kinship system and the political organisation are quite different. The dichotomy between structure and self concept (meaning) explains that the bangoua were able to have two kinds of beliefs and two different economical practises without this causing unbearable congtradictions. The constant switching between the kinship system belief and those of the political organisation is one of the main factor infuencing the bangoua's adaptation to a western-system economy. The bamileke dynamism has been explained by demographic growth and their geographical situation, but it has been proven with other tribes (cf. Kirdi of north cameroon) that, when these two conditions exist, the society does not become necesseraly enterprising

Full textThere is in the “bamileke land” (Western Cameroon) a specific belief according to which some individuals can create an invisible bond with an animal “alter ego”. We aim here at understanding the social and cultural role of this belief, its evolution in contemporary society, and the social dynamics linked with it. Animal “were-beings” are appearing at two main levels. First in the political sphere, where they are used to legitimate the prominent social position of initiated people, in a context of fierce social competition about nobility titles with new economic elites. Second in the witchcraft discourse, where several types of “alter ego” are called upon through charges, mainly resulting from structural conflicts between successors and non-successors in kin groups. The public autopsy, carried on during bereavements, is one of the main rituals where such a belief is used and transmitted

Full textThe present inhabitants of aribinda who, in the 18th century, settled in this small sahelian "no man's land", were refugees from different origins (songhay, kurumba and mossi). Because of the insecurity, they remained within the limits of a small area protected by large granit hills until the end of the 19th century. They established there a community, and laid the foundation of a system of land sharing, thus conditioning the future occupancy of the region. At first the social political groups were allotted territorial sectors within the limits of the village of aribinda itself. These sectors were progressively extended to the entire land. This thesis deals with their system of land rights, as well as with the development of their agricultural and pastoral activities. Nowadays, there is a danger of reaching a saturation point due to an important increase in population and their acquiring of extensive agrarian skills. There are, however, in the past history of the people of aribinda, reasons to hope for a solution of these problems

Full textAn essay of reflection on traditional chieftaincy and the institutions of state power in Benin, a subject wich provokes surprise and curiosity as to its purpose, andunderstandably because not being contemporary, traditional chieftaincy is an institution about wich very little is said in intellectual circles in the country. We have also decided to cover in time and space, the entire netional territory, wich enables us to mention the existence of ordinary chieftaincy, such as that of the Porto-Novo dynasty in the south of Benin, and that of Savè in the centre-north ; paramount chieftaincies, such as the Kingdom of Abomey in the Zou region and that of the Bariba Kingdom of Nikki in the north-east ; the finally there are the groups without any paramountcy or chiefdom : these are the so-called acephalous lineage societies, found in the Atacora region in the north-west. . .

Full textThis dissertation is a political anthropological study of democratization in the ivory coast. With the democratic process started in africa at the beginning of the 90s, the traditional authorities have been shaken by more or less violent democratic claims. It became necessary to redefine locally the relationship between various political forces at work in the country. The historic necessity of the chieftaincy is being more and more questioned in favor of democratic political parties. I have attempted in this dissertation to point out the evolution of this situation with the example of the tiembara chieftaincy, headed by the gon coulibaly oligarchic family. The foundation of this family chieftaincy is the "poro", a secret circle of initiated, which has played ever since, a central function in the senoufo ethnic group. It has conferred a sacred aspect to the chieftaincy, causing in so doing a merging of the political and the religious. By propagating a culture of submission, the "poro" reinforces the tiembara chieftaincy, and makes it the main political institution of the region, in the colonial as well as post- colonial eras. During monopartism, the pdci-rda, the only political party, and the chiefaincy have collaborated to control the politically the region. But with the advent of multipartism, affiliation of gon coulibaly family members in oppositing political parties has broken up this oligarhic family, weakening thus the previous alliance of the unique party with the chieftaincy. Multipartism has therefore weakened and compeled the chieftaincy to progressively retreat from the republican political arena, henceforth occupied by political parties. There is, as a result of this process, as secularization of the political activity among the senoufo people. This reveals the major disturbances that democratization has brought into the senoufo group, yet conservatory

Full textBased on analysis of colonial and ethnographic studies, I tried to understand in this thesis how established the classifications of African populations from racial presumptions and reifying identifications in a region of western Africa where the "mixture of races" had struck the first observers. As these synchronous representations stood out, the conquest and the colonial administration forced changes to the productivity and to the existing power, transforming the people’s collective lives and their spiritual and religious worlds. A ground study in and around Sara's village, located in the loop of Mouhoun, completes the study of the colonial papers and highlights the existence of ethnic lineages in forming social and political structure, making distinctions between the Bwaba and the "foreigners", what seems to be at the origin of a feeling ofmembership of a geographically undefined human group, in Bwamu "Bwabawa.» This study also confirms the existence of transformations which appeared during and after colonization

Full textThe kingdom of busa is situated on the right bank of the niger, between the xe and xie parallels, about 5e to the west. It was created between the xi and xii c. By the union of one group of migrants "the people of kisira" with different groups of mande origin, or assimilated. By secession from the mother-one, other kingdoms were formed. Politically indepedant from busa, they are built on the same model and united with the king of busa by a very loose tie of a mystic and religious order. This link is expressed during the festival of gaani, the annual national festival of all the busance. The busance society is divided into two classes: the first one is formed by the descendants of kisira, and the second one by the descendants of the autochtons. Until the colonization, (1896), a very large population of slaves plays an important role in the economy. The kingship is the center and the link of this society, basically unequal, where the forces of dispersion are very strong. The king of busa, titular of the kisira's throne, and holder of the sacred relics left by the founder, is the point of reference for the nobles and the common people. The introduction of indirect rule is going to shake the foundations of the kingship. The king is now the head of the native administration and has to take his references outside the tradition. The fight between tradition and modernism is the cause of the failure of the indirect rule until 1935 and provokes a change of religion, as an attempt to conduct the modernism by the adoption of a new religion, the islamic faith

Full textThe structuring of the political area in Burkina Faso is still characterized by the encounter, within this context, of different systems of political ideas and organisation. Consequently there are ways of specifics adaptations where traditional considerations drive to a large extent the mechanisms of the modern political game. The permanence of traditional structures playing a role in the current organisation thus show the syncretism of political ideas. In addition to this syncretism, there are other factors such as the differential gap related to the tools of political production (notably due to the unequal distribution of the culture capital giving access to these tools of political production) which represent one of the major characteristics of the political set up, that is to say the existence of an area of positioning, replacement in which power is delegated between constituents and elected people. Therefore, within the framework of delegation, a network theoretical structure begins to take shape and allows the traditional hierarchy to work generally as the expression of the political game requires a big mobilisation of the population

Full textThis is a study of the return migration from the point of view of the former migrant. It helps understanding how the latter has been shaped through migration. Back home, the way he acts, his face to face encounter with the world of the village put him in a universe that fosters a new, intentionally produced, art of living. Returning back to the countryside is not synonymous with returning to rural life. In the rural setting, one will try to live according to a life style similar to the urban one. The urban way of life acts on village life from within. Several of its components can be found to overlap : they come from the village, the town, and places further beyond. Away from the urban way of life that constitutes pockets within the village, and spread around, social hierarchies can be found which, at the same time, change and remain the same. A new nobility makes its appearance, especialy through wealth, but it keeps the same outlook in its dayly life style

Full textThe oualad rachid who number about twenty thousand people form a canton of djedaa, in chad. In fact, it is a sahelian agro-pastoral tribe which is constituted around bedwins. Separated from waves of arab immigrants who had accompanied the islam expansion in nubia, these nomads arrived in chad basin in the fourteenth century. Later. Autochtonal clans were aggregated with the ruling lineages. This was the case for bacara artisans who retained the power in this region before the arab's arrival. Consequently, at the beginning of the seventeenth century a true socio-political entity was born. Grouped in fractions, all its members finished by indentifying themselves, in their speech, with the eponyme ancestor rachid to whom each individual is linked by his genealogy. Faced with events which punctuate a man's life like, birth, marriage and death, they have taken up common attitudes, refering to the habits bequeathed by the ancestors. However, to survive in the context of insecurity which preceded the modern state's emergence, the group affronted foreing aggressions. It defended also its vital space, a sort of tribal territory or a country where rearing and agriculture became possible. This concept applies especially to the fields of cultivation. By another way, this notion is hardly deep-rooted in the ethnic groups of the chad centre which form sedentary stones between wich the oualad rachid pastoral people move. So, the pastoral mobility area of the chiefdom covers a region of more than 180,000 square kilometers from the 11th to the 16th parallels. But the borders of this space change from one year to another. The drought whitch began in 1968 has negative effects on the hydraulic and fodder resources, forcing the herds to move further and further south

Full textOur thesis focuses on the royal mossi institutions of the current Burkina Faso. It analyzes the political, social, religious and cultural changes wich explain their preservation. Our research covers a period wich begin from the late 15th century, when the first forms of state organization was born in the White Volta Basin, to the birth of the current 4th Republic in 1991. Our work aims to report the political imagination of Mossi people and its rulers : the naaba. This study is an opportunity to deconstruct a concept of "tradition" too easily used to characterize the social and political organizations in Africa. On the contrary, the history of the Mossi reveals some dynamics that led to the formation of the idea of state in this part of Africa. We analyze the creation and the strengthening of the royal states from the late 15th century to the late 19th century, then the political hybridization process induced by french colonization. We show that naaba were able to make a selection in the forms of 'modernity' imposed by the colonial rule. A final section focuses on the formation of the nation-state from 1945 to 1991. We show how the new African elite tried to build a community of citizens, sometimes by tackling head on the Mossi chiefs – often considered by them as a dangerous opposition force –, sometimes by trying to reconcile them in order to facilitate the administration of the territory and the mobilization of the people from the political center. However, politicans in power could not resolve the issue of their official status within the Republic

Full textCreated in the 1960s, "cultural associations of traditional dance" have become, along with brotherhoods of notables, the legitimate representatives of Bamileke chiefdoms, a showcase for their grandeur and influence. These dance groups are headed by the cadets, whom anthropology has considered for a long time to be a subordinate group that plays a part in the social reproduction of the palace hierarchy and institution of chieftaincy. This reinterpretation of the biographical itineraries of these "young" men - during the 20th century - comes out of an ethnological study of the network of associations that have given shape to Bamileke chiefdoms. Thios dominant characteristic is used to analyze retrospectively the status assigned to "young" men during various periods and the places where new values originate among them. Two major hypotheses underlie this research. First of all, assessing the position of notables in relation to the cadets during the history of the Grassfield chiefdoms entails examining the place and importance of the associations to which they belong. Secondly, given that the deceased are a primary reference group, in whose names the customary ordre and foundation of chieftancy are justiofied, the evolving role played by Bamileke youth cannot be studied without taking under consideration both their involvment in, and commitment to, customs as well as customary knowledge, and their prerogatives in the events expected by the deceased. These expectations are revealed through the commemorations performed by the associations headed by cadets

Full textC’est essentiellement un mode de lecture du fait politique, les chefferies à travers les âges: conditions d’émergence et d’institutionnalisation, sources de légitimité, supports territoriaux et symboliques, fonctionnement réel, enjeux et conflits. L’analyse de tels processus a nécessité la prise en compte de la dispersion des idées politiques dans les institutions sociales et familiales, la religion, la littérature, l’art et l’économie. On n’a pas négligé pourtant, leurs liens à l’ordre social et les rapports avec les structures politico-administratives étatiques dans lesquelles les chefferies sont enchâssées. Cette dissertation a combiné deux grandes perspectives du pouvoir politique :symbolique et sociologique. Dans la perspective symbolique renouvelée, une des entrées principales a été celle de la « mise en scène » du pouvoir, dans des contextes variés, pour assurer sa légitimité. A été ainsi mis en exergue le concept de « traditions », renvoyant aux analyses de Hobsbawm et Ranger (1983). Cette perspective de l’ethnologie classique du pouvoir politique a été complétée par celle de la sociologie politique davantage tournée vers la « domination » au sens wébérien, les enjeux et relation de pouvoir, ainsi que l’étude des comportements des acteurs :stratégies et tactiques individuelles et collectives. On s’est intéressé aux dynamiques politiques locales produites à travers l’interaction entre les facteurs internes et externes, et aux modalités de réception, d’interprétation et d’appropriation afin d’y lire un peu de « sens ». En cela, cette thèse est « une anthropologie des mondes contemporains » (Augé 1994) avec un arrière-fond historique important. Elle a privilégié l’analyse des interactions aussi bien rituelles qu’administratives. Ces regards croisés du pouvoir politique local ont ainsi permis d’articuler ce qu’Olivier de Sardan (2005) appelle « ethnographie classique et socio-anthropologie des espaces publics en Afrique ».

Full textSitué en Afrique de l'Ouest en territoire nigérien, le Damagaram est une région à dominante agro-pastorale qui représente 11,57% du territoire national et 21,7% de la population totale du pays en 2001. L'histoire coloniale du Sultanat de Zinder au XIXè siècle, le transfert du chef lieu du territoire de Zinder à Niamey et le fait que des élites de cette région aient pris l'habitude de placer au premier plan de la problématique du retard de développement du Damagaram, la question politique, expliquent l'intérêt de cette recherche.
La présente thèse se veut un essai qui vise à saisir les vecteurs d'explication des capacités de mobilisation, de consensus et de représentation des intérêts au niveau du Damagaram, mais aussi à comprendre les spécificités de l'échelon régional en terme d'identités, à travers la mise en oeuvre des politiques publiques en général, des expériences de développement régional à Zinder en particulier notamment, la formulation du Schéma Directeur du Développement Régional (SDDR) de Zinder.
La thèse expose comment les institutions de gestion administrative régionale s'articulent à des espaces sociaux pour construire des espaces politiques essentiels à la mise en oeuvre des politiques publiques et du développement régional. Elle identifie les principaux symboles identitaires du Damagaram qui semblent plus que jamais activés par le processus de démocratisation et de décentralisation en cours au Niger. L'auteur appréhende l'influence de la vitrine identitaire du Damagaram dans le fonctionnement des institutions en charge du développement en région. Il analyse les stratégies des acteurs et leurs rôles dans la conquête de l'électorat et la formulation des instruments et actions de développement régional. Il relève que le Sultanat, en tant que symbole du pouvoir traditionnel dont l'organisation s'articule autour de la personnalité du Sultan, reste le symbole identitaire le plus conservé et le plus marquant de cette région. Il met en évidence la présence d'identités au pluriel dans le Damagaram administratif.

Under colonization, roughly speaking, between 1890 and 1960, these chiefs become in their turn, subjects under the colonial authority power which, in any case in the French possessions, to only distinguish them from the colonial administrators of which they become the auxiliaries, qualifies them the traditional ones. They preserve this statute of auxiliary both in Burkina Faso (Old Haute Volta) and in Niger after the accession of these countries to independence. With the return of Africa to the multi-party system and the democracy, at the beginning of the years 1990, these traditional chiefs, incarnation of the morals and sociocultural values of ancestral Africa, become, more than ever mediators; agents of social development while working for the consolidation of the state of right. It is to say that the traditional cheffery still has a beautiful future in front of it, for little that, the african political leaders agree to collaborate, honestly with it

Full textThe invasion and the conquest that started since the second half of the 19th century marked by fights (1896, 1899) led in 1905 to the creation of the district of "bas congo", ancestor of the actual region of pool. At this period the land bakongo is very populated, dynamic and structured. We want to study through the institutions, the society, and during the colonization, the process of integration and evolution of pool into the colonial entity. In 1906-1980, the conquest did not at all curb the progress of the bakongo. Their institutions are conform to the requirements of the colonization and improved. In 1930-1945, the policy of "bras de fer" led by the french administration against the bakongo society, balari or "amicale", and the attempt to destory the chieftainsy, provoqued a severe crisis: rebellions and repression succeeded one another. At the end of our study, 1946, permanence and slow transformation characterize the bakongo's social et political institutions. In the large rural majority of congo, the chieftainsy remains the principal institution of authority; the only one that is usually touched directly

Full textIn the Bamileke chiefdoms, the patrimonialization has been translated for severaldecades by the opening of museums. They have the particularity of preserving collectionsfrom the local communities who are the holders. Museum pieces are regularly taken out to be used in social life. This staging of heritage involves at least two groups of actors: on the one hand, the royal servants in charge of customary management, and on the other, the employees of the museum institutions. The ambivalent status of the objects raises questions about the relevance of conservation choices, insofar as they are modelled on the Western model. If it is accepted that the perception of heritage varies from one culture to another, it is also conceivable that the modes of preservation are plural. Based on the study of situated projects, the thesis explores alternative management and preservation approaches that bring together community knowledge and museum management standards. The proposed solutions take intoaccount local realities, chiefdoms' expectations and the types of objects to be preserved. This research is based on the hypothesis that any museum enterprise takes on meaning according to the cultural context and is necessarily part of a political action. The thesis defends the absence of a universal museography and shows that the preservation and valorisation of heritage depend largely on the society in which they are embedded

Full textFace of the traditional organization in Africa, you have different processes of decentralization which are not the same like in Europe. This situation makes some difficulties when we want to analyze the principles of the decentralization for the young States in Africa. The traditional chieftainship is the only African territorial administration originally known, which the object of diversified apprehension is. Even thought we have now an occidental system, our societies still depend on the traditional system present in Africa. But we don’t want to change the system of the decentralization, because they can help our country to achieve their goal. Face of this situation, the major issue of my PHD is to propose the reorganization of the local institutions, which can lead to change the territorial reform

Full textOur research deals with the new invention of a tradition meant to alter the territorial attraction and tourist imagination of the bamileke land in Cameroun. Our questioning is about that new invention of the tradition and the patrimonialization which help make the bamileke funerals and chiefs palaces tourist attraction. This work highlights the logic and strategies of the actors in setting up tourist projects in bamileke areas. For man y years, the chiefs palaces have been marked with the logic of patrimony or tourism. Those actions deeply modify their organization, their functioning and their relationships with the local population and their nationals. These changes presently make the bamileke chiefs palace a tourist attraction for foreign tourist. Nevertheless the area ruled by chief casts a negative image to a Cameroonians. For the latter, it is a sacred territory full of taboos and associated with a mystical imagination. For a long time, that imagination estranged the Cameroonians from those lands ruled by bamiléké chiefs. Nowadays, those traditional institutions are targeted by the policy of tourist development through decentralization and different international cooperation. The new invention of the tradition in bamileke festivals and funerals help improve the efficacy of the attraction and of the tourist imagination of the bamileke land. The logic and strategies set up by the different actors are not alike. If for some the logic is purely sociocultural and economic (the actors of tourist development) for others, that logic is about the research of prestige (funeral planners). In this survey, two main conclusions are to be considered; although the tradition has been invented anew by the promoters of tourist development in the bamiléké areas, they are hardly attractive for national tourist. The museum and guest huts are not considered as tourist attraction by the nationals. Only festivals and funerals draw more and more Cameroonian toward bamileke lands. Different logic of innovation action has been set up by the festivals and funerals planners in order to attract a great number of Cameroonians to the bamileke areas

Full textMy thesis analyses the making of history in Fiji while reflecting the stakes of the 2000 coup d'Etat. The connections between politics and ethnicity articulate various kind of relationships such as gender, status, kin or social classes, all selected in situ for providing heuristic relevancy at different levels : local, national and international. My analysis links particular observations and historical examinations to restitute the multiple political versions of fijian recognition. Deconstructing the idea of an homogeneous chiefly system to be emblematic of the pacific way enlightens the heterogeneity that defines the fijian chiefs in general. I suggest in the end that ethno-nationalism in Fiji has to be understood as a political distinction that is built up interdependancy between shared norms and values across the national and international levels

Full textAs soon as New Caledonia got taken into possession, the colonial administration used the natives considered as chiefs to establish the French supervision. By using honorary distinctions, it settled a wide policy of recognition of the chiefs. Some of them seemed to have had dealed with the administrative employees, others rebelled or did both. Instead of considering those situations as loyalty, rejection or “double jeu”, this PhD consists in analysing them in a more global context by considering the Kanak chiefs in their own system of relationships. Inwa, relationship with the colons and colonial administrators are the framework. This work aims to deconstruct the idea of chiefs were either loyal or rebel and to show the complexity of the system in which every single actor of the colonisation participates. The itineraries of 36 leaders are analysed between 1878 – date of the first native rebellion – and 1917 – date of the last movement of the uprising. The leaders get little by little the methods of speech that will allow them to free themselves from the colonial pressures. The descendants of the chiefs are therefore also taken into account until the end of the “Code de l’Indigénat” in 1946. That in order to measure the strength of the transmission of the political speech they faced

Full textMainly based on historical data of rwandan north and north-west regions, the work shows at first the process of the formation of different levels of social and political organisation from family nucleus constituting to kingdoms. Here, the work luings out the means ofacquiring lands by the first settlers, the appropriation of that lands by the progeny of those settlers, and their organisation into systems of landed lineal propriety. It gives pratical modalitiesor circumstances which led some chiefs of the lineage to the acquiring of the title of king and to the exercise of supreme power upon men and things. Then, the work puts out that after they have built the system of managing the great patrimony : land and men wholive on it and exploiting it, after they fouded systems of governing independent lineages and kingdoms and after they are tested during nearly four centuries, the populations of north and north-west have been attaqued by kings of the nyiginya dynasty. However, they did not succeed in subduing them immediately. They had backwand and forwand movements : they recorded victories and failures. It is only during the two first decades of 20th century that northern and north-western kingdoms have been incorporated into properties of kings of nyiginya after being broken up and transformed into chieftainries of the colonized rwandan kingdom. Their entry in that kingdom marked caring out of the terrtorial unity of the rwandan effective policy

Full textAt the beginning of the 20th century, the Yoruba part of Nigeria was characterized by a disorderly geopolitical situation resulting from Yoruba civil wars and from first British regulations (1893-1914). The city and its “oba” (sovereign) had then lost their former prestige. Unti11930, the colonizer strongly altered the internal borders, geopolitical balances and the structures of government without regard for the existing historical institutions. The colonizer reorganized several times the structures of administration after 1930 ; this led to several processes of identity building which were exploited by Obafemi Awolowo, the Yoruba nationalist leader, after 1945. The reforms left durable and sometimes contradictory traces. Indeed, Yoruba people reconsidered their links to their communities and their identities; the emergence of town-identities in many cities had as a corollary the formation of a pan-Yoruba regional identity. These destabilized peoples strongly attached to the city of their ancestors, built new identity referents whose “obas” constituted the pillars. After 1945 the “obas” became the symbols of a town-identity rooted in the city and they supported the “Action Group”, the regional nationalist party. This thesis follows the phases of the transformation of the “obaship” and analyzes its effects on the processes of identity building in the Yoruba region. The ethnicisation of political behaviours failed however between 1962 and 1966 but, since then, the “obas” never lost the central role they had acquired on the Nigerian civic scene
