This question is based on Ola Rotimi's Ovonramwen Nogbaisi.What are the main motives of the British in the Beinin Kingdom?

Answer Details

The main motive of the British in the Benin Kingdom was the domination of the kingdom and its trade. They wanted to control the resources and wealth of the kingdom for their own benefit. This led to a conflict between the British and the Benin people, which ultimately resulted in the elimination of Oba Ovonramwen and the installation of a puppet regime in the kingdom. The British were not interested in mediating in Benin's domestic problems, but rather in exploiting the kingdom's resources and establishing their dominance in the region.
