This reading calls for the further support for Britain's involvement in Northern Nigeria. The document is especially noteworthy for its description of life in the region, the self-concept of the English, and the way in which the author argues his case for increased intervention. Readers should critique this document not as a source of "objective truth" but as a statement of perspective from a promoter of imperialism, colonialism and indirect rule.
