Maelezo ya Majibu
The indirect rule system of administration was a method used by colonial powers to govern their colonies. In this system, the colonialists ruled through the traditional institutions of the local people instead of imposing their own direct rule. They appointed local rulers and chiefs who were loyal to them as intermediaries to carry out their policies and maintain order. This system allowed the colonialists to rule over a large territory with a minimal presence of their own personnel. Thus, the correct option is that they ruled through traditional institutions.

Maelezo ya Majibu

Maelezo ya Majibu
During the colonial era in Nigeria, the British introduced the warrant chieftaincy system as a means of indirect rule. The system involved the appointment of some chiefs by the British colonial administration to act as intermediaries between them and the local population. These chiefs were given warrants or certificates which conferred on them the authority to rule over their people. They were chosen based on their loyalty to the British colonial authorities rather than their traditional positions or legitimacy. Therefore, the correct option is: "were created by the British".

Maelezo ya Majibu
The colonial government in Nigeria laid more emphasis on the production of export crops because such crops were desperately needed abroad. This was due to the fact that the British colonial government saw Nigeria as a major source of raw materials for their industries in Europe. As a result, they focused on exporting cash crops such as cocoa, groundnuts, and palm oil to Europe, rather than supporting the production of food crops for local consumption. The profits from the export of these crops were used to finance the colonial government's administrative expenses and to promote the development of European infrastructure in Nigeria.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The spread of Islam in Nigeria between the 11th and 14th centuries was largely due to trade and commerce. Arab traders from North Africa and the Middle East brought Islam to West Africa along trade routes, and through commercial activities, many indigenous people converted to Islam. This process of conversion was gradual and was also facilitated by the peaceful and non-coercive nature of Islamic preaching, which emphasized the importance of the equality of all people regardless of social status or ethnicity. While some jihads were later waged, they were not the main factor in the spread of Islam in Nigeria during this period.

The reason for the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria in 1914 was economic expediency.

The savannah region of Nigeria is characterized by sparse vegetation. This means that the area has fewer trees and plants compared to other regions in Nigeria. The region is dominated by grasses and small trees, which are adapted to the dry and hot climate of the area. The sparse vegetation makes it easier to spot animals in the region, such as antelopes, lions, and elephants, as they are not easily hidden by dense foliage. The region also has a lower population density compared to other regions in Nigeria, due to the lack of water resources and the difficulty of agriculture in the area.
