The Ibo culture is something that the citizens of the nine villages are expected to abide by. There are rules and recreational hobbies that are mostly followed and done by men, but in this culture there isn't gender equality. Many men will have more than one wife and at least one title, unless he is a disgrace to hardworking, strong, masculine men.

Whether its father to son, daughter to mother, husband to wife, there is equality at a point unexplained.
