Cevap

The artificial local political authorities created by the British to enforce Indirect Rule in Eastern Nigeria were called Warrant Chiefs.
In pre-colonial Eastern Nigeria, societies were acephalous (stateless) and governed through consensus, village assemblies, and title societies rather than powerful monarchs. To operate Indirect Rule, the British government artificially created sole executive administrators by issuing official warrants to selected individuals, calling them Warrant Chiefs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the pre-colonial political structure of Eastern Nigeria.
Eastern Nigeria (largely Igbo communities) operated a decentralized, acephalous political system without paramount kings or centralized rulers.
Indirect Rule required local traditional rulers to act as intermediaries between the British officers and the populace.
2
Determine the colonial solution used by the British to impose Indirect Rule.
The British issued executive warrants to arbitrarily selected individuals, creating the institution of Warrant Chiefs.
Because traditional centralized rulers did not exist, administrative authorities had to be artificially created.
