Flora had only recently married Lord Lugard at this point in 1902. Previously she had been the Colonial Correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette and the Manchester Guardian. She had travelled widely through Africa and had also had a liaison with Sir George Goldie the founder of the Royal Niger Company and forerunner of Frederick Lugard's Protectorate
Ill health in Nigeria caused Lady Lugard to return to England, where she wholeheartedly supported her husband's career through her political and social networks and by praising his administration in Northern Nigeria in her book A Tropical Dependency (1905)
This is a plot of a movie of the life and times of Lady Flora Lugard, it tracks Flora the girl the lady the wife and later the baroness
