The effort toward overall development, unlike the narrower Eurocentric view of the concept, remains a major preoccupation of African countries and the developing world generally. In Africa, colonialism imposed the self-serving Western capitalist societies’ view of development which revolves around the modernization theory on the people, without regard to existing differences in social and cultural values. Invariably, urbanization, provision of modern infrastructural facilities and the adoption of Western social habits became prominent parameters of measuring development. Unfortunately, these were restricted to the urban centers. Among the indigenous rural dwellers, the situation amounted to a deprivation of their rights to the good things of life and led to the migration of people from rural areas to the urban centers. This trend engendered changes, both in various aspects of the culture of Africa’s indigenous peoples and in the developmental activities of notable cultural groups, including the Umuada (daughters of the lineage or community) among the Igbo of southeast Nigeria which is the case study in this paper. Within the pre-colonial Igbo society, Umuada were indispensable and complemented the men’s efforts in the development of their various patrilineal communities. However, considering the debilitating effects of Western-influenced and male-dominated urban centers on the cultural practices of the people vis-à-vis the fact that the modern developmental roles of the Umuada in their rural communities are engineered mainly by their urban-based members, there are conjectures regarding the actual influence of urbanization on the group’s efforts towards the development of their various communities. This paper seeks to outline the influence of urbanization and the notions of gender equality and “complementarity” on the group’s developmental roles over time and the potentials of the Umuada groups as true partners in the efforts to extend development or the fundamental necessities of life to rural areas.
