Yes. Sub-Saharan Africa had complex law systems, meaning that the natives were intricate, heterogenious and prote to complex crimes caused by the human nature of greed, trickery, creativity, and all aspects of the European society - just that we had loads of rhythm. Do not listen to what our scholars and Western publishes tell you. They have been bought, and now we have to work hard to include what you said in African fiction.
