Answer Details
The Yoruba traditional Nigerian society practiced the system of checks and balances. The Yoruba society was organized into several city-states, each with its own ruler and council of elders.

The system of checks and balances ensured that no one person or group had too much power, and that decisions were made after careful consideration of different viewpoints.
