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.

Some advantages of indirect rule include cheaper administration costs, preservation of local customs and traditions, and collaboration with local leaders to maintain stability and control in the colonized territories.
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.
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.
The Igbo people were highly educated and had a strong sense of self-governance, making them less receptive to indirect rule that involved governing through local chiefs. They also had a decentralized society without a clear centralized authority, which made it challenging for the British to implement indirect rule effectively among the Igbo.
