What was the MAIN reason that the British were able to establish their law and religion with relative ease in the village?

The Igbo leadership was not centralized, and their leaders were not able to control their people.
The Igbo laws and religion were an oral tradition and were not written down.
Some of the marginalized members of the village saw new opportunities for themselves. The British introduced Christianity to the villagers before they introduced new laws.

Answer:

he Igbo laws and religion were an oral tradition and were not written down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Orally shared traditions, like the Igbo's, can be weakened because they rely on accurate sharing, and everyone hearing them, versus the Catholic teachings, which were written down, so each reader gets the exact same information to learn.

The main probem for the Igbo tribe was that there was friction between the members of Igbo society and also their identity was fragented. The reason is that they had independent communities with their own laws and beliefs. So it was easier for the british to establish what they believed. The correct option is the first one.
