Lugard presented a justification for Great Britain's indirect rule of East Africa. “There are some who say we have no right in Africa at all, that it belongs to the natives.'

That intense detestation of control which animates our Teutonic races does not exist among the tribes of Africa, and if there is any authority that we replace.
