THE SOCIO-POLITICAL ORGANISATION OF NUPE

The king or what is called Etsu was both the political and religious leader in the kingdom.

He possessed magical powers to command even nature. Other important office holders were the Shaba, Kpokun, Maku and Sarakizi.

Again, the provinces were each headed by the Zitzu. Thus the vassal states pay tribute to the King.
