Traditional Leadership

Traditions are those rules that are acceptable in a community. Every community or ethnic group has its own customs and traditions according to the law of the land. These traditions guide the people on what to do and on what  not to do, how traditional rites and festivals are conducted , how disputes are settled etc.

Some bad leaders do not follow the law of the land. They treat the people badly, grab peoples’ wives and properties and collect bribe. These may lead to riot, war or unrest  in the community. However, a leader is appointed by some elders in the community or by the dictates of the oracles or customs, so he may also be removed if he fails to follow the tradition or customs  of the land.
