In 1932 the Temporary Commission was replaced by the Committee of Experts on Slavery. The consultative machinery was more effective and the Nigerian government was forced to respond with more specifics of Nkanu slavery. For the Nigerian government's manipulation of the League's queries see NNAI, CSO 26/2/11799, VIII, 'Question of Slavery in British West Africa'. For the League of Nations responses see League of Nations Publications, Series VI B, 'Slavery' 1923-34. For an account of the Commission's role see C. W. W. Greenidge, Slavery in the Twentieth Century: The Anti-Slavery Society (London, 1958), and, from an 'insider', Lord Lugard, 'Slavery in all its forms', Africa, VI (1933), 1-14.

Colonial reports in the 1920s repeatedly noted that South Nkanu was still free of missionary influence. This was the experience of the Revd A. Humphrey Richardson, the first missionary in South Nkanu. See Mrs Humphrey Richardson, 1An account of the pioneer work in the Agbani area of Nigeria undertaken by the Rev. Arthur Humphrey Richardson of the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society 1916-1920', unpublished manuscript, The Methodist Church, Overseas Division (Missionary Society), London (hereafter MMS). I would like to thank Mrs M. J. Fox, Archivist, for calling my attention to this valuable manuscript.

Hopkins, focusing on the steady growth of agro-exports after emancipation, claims there was little economic or social dislocation. He thought that the availability of land, the trading boom in agro-exports and the development of slaves in agriculture accounted for the 'smoothness of the transition'. A. G.

The Ohu system of slavery in a northern Igboland village-group

The only studies of slavery in Nkanu are W. G. R. Horton, 'The Ohu system of slavery in a northern Igboland village-group', Africa, XXIV (1954), 311-36, and 'God, man and the land in a northern Ibo village-group', Africa, XXIV (1956), 17-28. Nkanu features prominently in Nwaka's study of contemporary discrimination against slaves descendants. Geoffrey I. Nwaka, 'The civil rights movement in colonial Igboland', Int. J. Afr. Hist. Studies, XIII (1985), 473-85. Of the few studies of Igbo slavery most focus on either the unusual cult slaves, called Osu, slavery in central Igboland or on the highly stratified coastal trading communities of the Niger Delta. The Osu slaves are the subject of Sylvia Leith-Ross, 'Notes on the Osu system among the Ibo of Owerri Province, Nigeria', Africa, XX (1937), 206-20; S. N. Ezeanya, 'The Osu (slave cult) system in Igboland', Journal of Religion in Africa, 1 (1967), 35-45; Igwebiuke Romeo Okeke, The 'Osu' Concept in Igboland: A Study of the Types of Slavery in Igbo-Speaking Areas of Nigeria (Enugu, 1986). Those based on research in central Igboland include J. S. Harris, 'Some aspects of slavery in southeastern Nigeria', Journal of Negro History, XXVII (1942), 37-54, and Victor Uchendu, 'Slaves and slavery in Igboland, Nigeria', in Miers and Kopytoff (eds.), Slavery in Africa. On the coastal/delta communities see K. Nwachukwu-Ogbedegbe, 'Slavery in nineteenth-century Aboh (Nigeria)', in Miers and Kopytoff (eds.), Slavery in Africa, 133-54. His is one of the few studies focusing on a specific community. There are sporadic references in K. O. Dike, Trade and Politics in the Niger Delta, 1830-1885 (Oxford, 1956), and G. I. Jones, The Trading States of the Oil Rivers: A Study of Political Development in Eastern Nigeria (London, 1963).

Nkanu features prominently in Nwaka's study of contemporary discrimination against slaves descendants. Geoffrey I. Nwaka, 'The civil rights movement in colonial Igboland', Int. J. Afr. Hist. Studies, XIII (1985), 473-85. Of the few studies of Igbo slavery most focus on either the unusual cult slaves, called Osu, slavery in central Igboland or on the highly stratified coastal trading communities of the Niger Delta. The Osu slaves are the subject of Sylvia Leith-Ross, 'Notes on the Osu system among the Ibo of Owerri Province, Nigeria', Africa, XX (1937), 206-20; S. N. Ezeanya, 'The Osu (slave cult) system in Igboland', Journal of Religion in Africa, 1 (1967), 35-45; Igwebiuke Romeo Okeke, The 'Osu' Concept in Igboland: A Study of the Types of Slavery in Igbo-Speaking Areas of Nigeria (Enugu, 1986). Those based on research in central Igboland include J. S. Harris, 'Some aspects of slavery in southeastern Nigeria', Journal of Negro History, XXVII (1942), 37-54, and Victor Uchendu, 'Slaves and slavery in Igboland, Nigeria', in Miers and Kopytoff (eds.), Slavery in Africa. On the coastal/delta communities see K. Nwachukwu-Ogbedegbe, 'Slavery in nineteenth-century Aboh (Nigeria)', in Miers and Kopytoff (eds.), Slavery in Africa, 133-54. His is one of the few studies focusing on a specific community. There are sporadic references in K. O. Dike, Trade and Politics in the Niger Delta, 1830-1885 (Oxford, 1956), and G. I. Jones, The Trading States of the Oil Rivers: A Study of Political Development in Eastern Nigeria (London, 1963).

The 'Yam King' title or Ezeji was bestowed on a member of a title society. It was open to successful freeborn farmers who raised the requisite numbers of yams, fed the society's members for a fixed number of days and paid entrance fees. As expert farmers their opinions and technical assistance were sought by other villagers and they occasionally adjudicated land disputes. Afigbo, Ropes of Sand, 128.

Isichei quotes Noo Adala, an Agbaja elder, then c. 102, who witnessed the ascent of the 'new' wealthy. In Agbaja the wealthy were called Amadi: 'As time went on, this gradation of authority right from the town to the family unit, depending on age as the criterion gave way to the authority of the wealthy. These were people who were rich enough to take the highest titles of the town . . . During deliberations in the governing council of ndi amadi, the suggestion made by an amadi was more agreeable to those present than that of a poor elder, no matter if he was the eldest'. Isichei, Igbo Worlds, 73. See also A. E. Afigbo, 'Southeastern Nigeria in the nineteenth century', in J. F. A.

The village of Nomeh had a junior patrilineage who used alliances with Aro slave traders and their many slaves to enforce their role as judicial officials, selling offenders into slavery.

There was apparently an important market for slave children in the Cross River area during the 1920s. Frank Hives, a former Resident of Onitsha, noted in a sensationalist racist book that much of his time was spent intercepting Aro caravans in which small children were abducted in long baskets. See Frank Hives, Justice in the Jungle (London, 1932), 207-21.

Later in 1936 the Amadi of Akegbe Ukwu protested when an Awbia family tried to do this dance at a funeral. NNAE, OP129/ONDIST 12/1/101, A. F. R. Stoddart, 'Awbia-Amadi Dispute, Nkanu Area', 14 Oct. 1936. The exact definition of the Ubo dance varies with the town. In some cases it is the one done by the 'horsekiller' society, a prestigious title acquired by men of wealth.

Command Paper 469, London, HMSO
-
The Proclamation attempted to preserve the 'house' as a commercial unit by making it more difficult for slave members to break away and work on their own. Resembling in some respects the post-Civil War vagrancy laws in the Southern United States, the Ordinance subjected rebellious or vagrant 'house' members to fines and imprisonment. By the time it was passed the system was in advanced decay and many slave members had contracted to work outside the 'house'. The law then entitled the owner/'house' head to a certain percentage of the earnings of his erstwhile employed slave. Frederick Lugard, Report on the Amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria, and Administration, 1912-1919 (Command Paper 469, London, HMSO, 1920). For a discussion of the 'house' see K. O. Dike, Trade and Politics in the Niger Delta 1830-1885 (Oxford, 1956).

By the time it was passed the system was in advanced decay and many slave members had contracted to work outside the 'house'. The law then entitled the owner/'house' head to a certain percentage of the earnings of his erstwhile employed slave. Frederick Lugard, Report on the Amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria, and Administration, 1912-1919 (Command Paper 469, London, HMSO, 1920). For a discussion of the 'house' see K. O. Dike, Trade and Politics in the Niger Delta 1830-1885 (Oxford, 1956).

One Colonial Office official noted: 'The ordinary system, I believe, is to ask the chief to furnish so many labourers, explaining the conditions of service. The chief furnishes them, and if they run away he provides some more. No doubt he deals with the men who run away. But so long as he acts in accordance with the law, that is a matter between the chief and the native labourers'. PRO, CO583/9, 'Baynes Minute', 18 Feb. 1914.
