• Low level of economy, hence some of the association and cooperative stopped to continue their protest for their demands were either stopped or suppressed.

• Sometimes the associations and cooperative union were either prohibited by the colonial government.

• Low number of workers. In some colonies the number of workers was too small; they did not able to maintain the effective pressure against colonial government.

• Poor communication system, there were poor communication system between the worker and the farmers of different localities, which hindering strong unity.

• Low level of education, many Africans were illiterate as colonialist not took trouble to educate people. This led to difficulties for the movement to be organized into proper association and trade.

• Most of the association was not coordinated at the national level, thus it become difficult to grow into strong nationalist struggle.

• Tribalism and Ethinism which led to disunity

• Religious difference .The Independent churches movement and the social and welfare association contributed greatly to the nationalists movements as they laid the foundation towards unity and made people of different social and cultural background come together under one umbrella of the associations for the first time. These associations united people as one group which spoke in one voice to fight against one common enemy.
