Host:
The continuous existence of matriliny in several communities particularly in Africa has triggered this investigation into the Bakor matrilineal society the aim of which is to discover the reasons for the people's continuous reliance on the system in modern society and the parameters for its sustenance. It was discovered that the Bakor language particularly and the ecology of the environment as well as the occupational mainstay of the Bakor people are the major props that sustain the system which is ingrained in Bakor culture and serves as an identity index of the people within the several patriarchal communities surrounding them.
