Ndichie refers to a traditional Igbo council of elders in Nigeria, responsible for making decisions and resolving disputes within the community. This council plays a crucial role in maintaining social order and cultural values, as the elders are respected for their wisdom and experience. The members of ndichie are typically chosen based on their age, knowledge, and contributions to the community. They serve as advisors to the chief and help guide the community in matters of governance, justice, and cultural practices, ensuring that traditions are upheld and passed down through generations.
