REASONS FOR THE BRITISH TO USE INDIRECT RULE IN THEIR COLONIES 

The British colonial government used indirect rule in most of its colonies in Africa for the following reasons.

1.Britain drew more attention to its colony in India, thus it was difficult for it to introduce direct rule in Africa. One may argue that they employed indirect because Britain had many colonies in different parts of the world and therefore it was quite difficult for it to administer all the colonies it had using direct rule.

2. Britain did not have enough manpower (personnel) to administer its colonies in Africa. For instance, in 1900 it was reported that the British had only 42 British officials in the Nigerian colony. This number was not enough to administer the whole colony. The shortage of personnel was caused by a lack of experienced workers. Moreover, British citizens were not willing to work in tropical Africa for fear of tropical diseases and other physical problems such as transportation.

3. The British government for the maintenance of the colonies set fewer funds. It was convenient for the colonial administrators to use the indirect rule system in the colonies to reduce administrative costs.

4. The direct rule proved to be ineffective and inefficient in their Indian colony; therefore, the British government was motivated to apply it in Africa.

5. The British thought of using indirect rule to overcome resistance from Africans. Consequently, African rulers were made to feel that the British honored their status, as this system of administration allowed them to keep some of the money collected in the form of taxes for their native treasuries. That money was spent on paying messengers' and police officer's salaries. However, the local African chiefs retained the money for their personal use.

6. Physical barriers such as poor infrastructures, the presence of mountains, thick forests, and dangerous animals in colonial Africa forced the British to use indirect rule.

6. A language barrier between the British and the Africans forced the British to use indirect rule. Neither Africans nor Europeans understood the language of the other. Hence, they used interpreters who were basically African local rulers.
