The most widespread customs which continued into the colonial period were those related to the hunting and predatory raids undertaken by newly installed rulers.
Young people blended old and new in ways that threatened the dominance of their elders, traditional rulers, colonials and missionaries alike.
All examinations and sample collections were performed at the palace of the respective traditional rulers.
In order to administrate effectively, the colonial powers were interested in establishing communities with clearly defined rulers.
Political rulers in office are thereby forced to do their sworn duty ; it assures the just administration of justice and creates peace among the citizenry.
Although several customs governed the selection of rulers, the matrilineal principle was quite strong.
Part of the resources acquired by rulers are distributed to followers in exchange for political loyality and support.
The ethics and rhetoric of exemplarity took precedence over the provision of complete chronicles of rulers, deeds, and battles.
