The pictures of Queen Elizabeth II during her tour of Nigeria (1956) are good.She visited several parts of the country. A short book about her tour with as many photographs as can be found would be a useful historical document.
Taxation was resisted in the South particularly because the European used to pay taxes to the chief & kings of Niger delta before the British through trade & evangelism colonised Southern Nigeria.
Is it a fact that there were no kings in Eastern Nigeria? Naivety is why one might accept an account that does not tell the actual story.. Onitsha with its Obi, Arondizuogu, and Aguleri were kingdoms And if their reach were not widespread in Eastern Nigeria and conducive to the purposes of the British colonialists , that is just too bad for them, why make it your narrative . Fact checking is a thing .

Nigeria hasn't changed that much since that time. The Brits are still ruling us indirectly.
Always educative coming here.
Indirect rule, I remember studying the concept in details as a study of political science back in college
Another fabulously resourced and articulately narrated video. This is without doubt my most favourite Nigerian UA-cam channel.
Wow, thank you.
Great documentary.
Very informative, Great video

Please could you please stop the music in all your video?
Why?
Whenever your voice stops the music is bit too loud
Stop playing music in your video
However, indirect rule did not work in the East.
Nice channel
Thanks.
Indirect rule is why the British became so successful I think 🤔 they were only in Nigeria for a short time and it seems to have worked out OK?
They are still here our presidential election debate takes place in London in Chatham house
The British were more advanced in all ramifications. To topple their structure we need to really Love ourselves.

Somebody is ruling Nigeria. Tinubu is proving that.
It's the British
The British used indirect rule in most of there colonies not just Nigeria
You're correct. But the focus of this video is on Nigeria.
West Africa to be precise in Southern Africa it was Direct rule
@Habib Magala
Does that make it right?
Does it?
@@adeamujale No
It doesn’t
And I d didn’t say so just pointing out a fact
@@habibmagala970
Totally agree with you.
What can we call Our president ruler
Puppet
We will never forget or forgive the crimes against humanity and genocide slavery committed against our people by the evil British Empire
Indirect rule- I tell you this is the beginning of corruption and failure of Nigeria state.
