Main sources consulted on traditional Igbo living were E. Isichei, A History of the Igbo People (Macmillan, London, 1976) and C. Meek, Law and Authority in a Nigerian Tribe, a Study in Indirect Human Rule (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1937; reprinted by Humanities Press). C. Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart (Heinemann, London, 1958) gives a very descriptive, albeit fictional, account of the traditional Igbo household.

The role of ethnic unions in the development of southern Nigeria: 1916-66
-
B. Obichere (ed.), Frank Cass, London
-
The gender bias towards male education was very strong up until the 1970s, meaning that few girls would have had community scholarships. Furthermore, most Igbos inherit land patrilineally; thus women were rarely able to build houses. See A. Ahanotu, "The Role of Ethnic Unions in the Development of Southern Nigeria: 1916-66", in B. Obichere (ed.), Studies in Southern Nigerian History (Frank Cass, London, 1982), pp. 155-174; C. Ubah, "Western Education in Africa: the Igbo Experince, 1900-1960", Comparative Education Review 24, 3 (1980), pp. 371-388; S. Igwe, Education in Eastern Nigeria 1847-1975 (Evans, London, 1987); and Isichei (1976), see note 2.

The family house in West Africa, a forgotten resource for policy makers

This phenomenon is different from many towns in South-west and Northern Nigeria where urban 'family houses' are often the free inheritance of, or sub-let at token cost to, indigent members of the extended family.
