Concept:British colonisation of Nigeria was motivated primarily by the economic benefits Britain could extract from the region.
Explanation:Before colonisation, Britain already traded with Nigeria.
The Industrial Revolution increased Britain's demand for cheap raw materials.
Nigeria had abundant resources such as palm oil, groundnuts, cotton, and tin.
Britain also wanted to secure a ready market for its manufactured goods.
These economic motives were stronger than any desire to spread religion or westernise the people.
Such social changes were only used as justification by colonialists.
There was no real threat from external attack that made Britain colonise Nigeria.
Hence, the major driving force was to satisfy British economic interests.
