Concept:The British practised indirect rule in India before Lord Lugard brought the system to Nigeria.
Explanation:Indirect rule is a system where the British governed through traditional local rulers.
Lord Frederick Lugard introduced indirect rule into Nigeria.
However, India was the first place where the British successfully practised this system.
In India, the British ruled through local princes and emirs under their supervision.
This approach reduced the number of British officials needed and reduced resistance.
Lugard later adopted the same method when he became High Commissioner of Northern Nigeria in
1900.
Hence, the indirect rule practised in Nigeria was copied from the Indian model.
Among the options given, India is the correct answer.
Answer:A. India
