G.T. Basden (1966) wrote regarding the Igbo people of Nigeria: “from the age of about three years, the Ibo child is reckoned as sufficiently advanced to be left more or less to its own devices. It begins to consort freely with children of its own age or company (otu) and to take its share in work and play.”
