Abstract

This piece is an ode to an ageing tradition, the Umuada Society, comprised of daughters of a particular Igbo community, has its roots in pre-colonial Igbo tradition, where they played significant roles in maintaining social order, resolving conflicts, and upholding cultural values. Despite colonialism and modernization, the Umuada Society remains a vital institution for Igbo women to exercise social and economic influence, promote cultural heritage, and foster community development.
