Answer 1

Indirect British rule in Nigeria had a significant impact on the country's development. The British system of colonial administration disrupted traditional systems of governance and leadership, leading to a power vacuum that has contributed to ongoing conflict and instability in modern Nigeria. Additionally, the focus on exploiting Nigeria's resources for the benefit of the British Empire meant that infrastructure development was neglected, leading to challenges in modern times as Nigeria works to build and improve its infrastructure. Despite the economic benefits that may have come from the growth of cash crops, the long-term consequences of indirect imperial rule have had a lasting impact on the country's political and social dynamics.
