In Eastern Nigeria, British attempts to implement Indirect Rule met severe resistance because the indigenous society was decentralized. Which colonial institution was artificially introduced to enforce local administration and tax collection, subsequently provoking widespread political unrest such as the Aba Women's War of 1929?

Cevap
The colonial administration created Warrant Chiefs and Native Courts to impose centralized administration in the decentralized Igbo society of Eastern Nigeria.
Because Eastern Nigeria lacked centralized rulers, the British created Warrant Chiefs via royal warrants to serve as local administrators and tax collectors. The oppressive practices of these artificial figures and rumors of female taxation directly triggered the Aba Women's War of 1929.
