Indirect rule can help maintain local traditions and customs, as it allows indigenous leaders to retain some power and authority. It can also reduce administration costs for the ruling country by leveraging existing local structures. Additionally, indirect rule may foster a sense of cooperation and loyalty among local populations towards the colonial power.
Indirect rule was not always used because some regions had more complex social structures or were less receptive to external authority, making direct rule more practical. Additionally, some colonial administrators believed direct rule was more efficient in promoting cultural assimilation and quicker in implementing policies. Lastly, in some cases, the costs associated with maintaining indirect rule were deemed too high compared to the benefits.

Britain's policy of indirect rule in Igbo society created tension due to the complex social structure and resistance to imposition of traditional leaders. This led to conflicts such as the Igbo Women's War, highlighting the challenges of governing through existing structures. Ultimately, indirect rule did not work as effectively in Igbo society compared to other areas in Nigeria.
Indirect rule can lead to the preservation of local customs and traditions, the reinforcement of existing power structures, and the co-optation of local elites into the colonial administration. However, it can also result in the marginalization of certain groups, the erosion of traditional authority, and the exacerbation of ethnic or social tensions.
