Akọwa Nkọwa
The OAU (Organization of African Unity) was founded on the principle of sovereign equality of member states. This means that each member state is recognized as a sovereign entity, with equal rights and obligations, regardless of its size or level of development. This principle was meant to promote unity, solidarity, and cooperation among African nations, while respecting their individual national identities and independence. It also aimed to foster peaceful resolution of conflicts and promote stability in the region.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The power of the courts to declare legislative enactments as unconstitutional is known as judicial review. This means that the courts have the power to review and interpret laws passed by the legislative branch of government, and if they find that such laws violate the provisions of the constitution, they can declare them null and void. Judicial review serves as a check on the power of the legislative and executive branches of government, ensuring that they do not act outside the boundaries of the constitution. It is an important feature of many democratic systems of government, and helps to ensure the protection of citizens' rights and freedoms.

Akọwa Nkọwa
Under military regimes in Nigeria, the branches of government that were fused were the executive and the legislature. This means that the military head of state was both the head of the executive and also the head of the legislative arm of government, making all major decisions without the checks and balances that a separation of powers would provide. The judiciary was also under the control of the military government, thereby creating a concentration of power in the hands of the military.

Akọwa Nkọwa
In 1975, Angola gained its independence from Portugal, and this resulted in a power struggle between three nationalist movements, which eventually led to a civil war. The Soviet Union, the United States, France, and Cuba supported different factions in the civil war. However, the country whose interests conflicted with those of Nigeria over Angola was the United States. The US feared that a communist government would be established in Angola if the Soviet-backed Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) succeeded in taking power. The US, therefore, supported the rival National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), which was backed by South Africa.

Unicameral legislature is often criticized for
Akọwa Nkọwa
Unicameral legislature is often criticized for restricting the scope of participation. In a unicameral legislature, there is only one chamber or house, which means that all members of the legislature are concentrated in a single body. This can limit the diversity of representation and the range of perspectives that are brought to bear on issues. It can also lead to a concentration of power in a single body, which may not reflect the interests or concerns of all segments of society. As a result, some argue that unicameralism can lead to a lack of accountability and transparency in government decision-making, and may not be conducive to democratic governance.

In which of the following Nigerian pre- colonial political units was the principle of separation of powers institutionalized?
Akọwa Nkọwa
The principle of separation of powers refers to the division of governmental powers into three distinct branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary, each with their own responsibilities and powers. Among the listed pre-colonial political units in Nigeria, the Oyo Empire is known to have institutionalized the principle of separation of powers. The Oyo Empire had a centralized government with the Alaafin (king) as the supreme authority. The Oyo Mesi, a council of powerful chiefs, acted as a legislative arm, while the Bashorun, the second in command to the Alaafin, acted as the head of the executive arm. The Egungun, a group of senior judges, represented the judiciary. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is the Oyo Empire.

A distinctive feature of a democratic system of government is the existence of periodic competitive elections. In a democracy, elections are held at regular intervals and are open to all citizens to participate. During elections, citizens can choose their representatives from a range of candidates and political parties, and the candidate or party that receives the most votes is elected to office. The existence of competitive elections ensures that citizens have a say in the decisions made by their government and can hold their representatives accountable. It also allows for peaceful transfer of power and ensures that no one group or individual holds a monopoly on power.

Charismatic authority is based on the personal ability and influence of an individual. This type of authority is characterized by a leader who possesses exceptional qualities such as charisma, vision, and the ability to inspire and motivate others. The leader's authority is not derived from traditional sources of power such as wealth, family lineage, or institutional processes, but rather from their unique personal qualities that attract followers and enable them to exert influence. Charismatic authority is often seen as a powerful force for change, but it can also be unstable and unpredictable, as it relies heavily on the personality and personal appeal of the leader.

A non-party election occurs when all candidates run as independents, meaning that they do not belong to any political party. In such elections, candidates do not have party symbols, and voters are not affiliated with any party. Non-party elections are usually characterized by a focus on the individual candidates and their platforms rather than on the party's policies. Non-party elections can occur at any level of government, from local to national. They are often used as a means of reducing the influence of political parties and encouraging independent thinking and decision-making by voters.

Akọwa Nkọwa
Proportional representation is an electoral system that apportions legislative seats to a group relative to its actual voting strength. In this system, the number of seats a party receives is proportional to the number of votes they receive. This means that a party with 30% of the total votes cast will receive 30% of the seats in the legislature. This is different from the simple plurality system where the candidate or party with the most votes wins the election regardless of the percentage of votes received. Discriminatory majority is not a recognized term in the context of electoral systems, while franchise refers to the right to vote in an election.

The correct answer is: "Explorers, traders, missionaries and imperialists". This is because the first Europeans to come into contact with Nigeria were explorers, who were primarily interested in mapping out the territory. They were followed by traders, who came to the region in search of gold, ivory, and other commodities. The next group to arrive were the missionaries, who came to spread Christianity and set up mission schools. Finally, the imperialists arrived, who were primarily interested in controlling the region for economic and political purposes.

The theory of separation of powers advocates for the division of power among the three arms of government, namely the executive, legislature, and judiciary. The aim is to prevent the concentration of power in one branch and ensure that each branch operates independently of the others, with its own set of powers and responsibilities. This division of power serves as a check and balance mechanism, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful and thus protecting individual liberties.

The adoption of non-alignment as a principle of Nigerian foreign policy is aimed at placing Nigeria on a comfortable position to contribute to international peace and morality.

By doing so, Nigeria could maintain good relations with both sides and use its diplomatic influence to promote peace and cooperation between nations. The principle of non-alignment is still a key feature of Nigeria's foreign policy today, as the country continues to strive for peaceful coexistence and global stability.

The application of the rule of law can be limited by invoking emergency powers. Emergency powers can be invoked during a crisis or emergency situation, and these powers can sometimes lead to the suspension of some laws and legal procedures that protect individual rights and freedoms. This can create a situation where the government is able to act outside the rule of law, and some individuals may be treated unfairly or unjustly. It is important for emergency powers to be used judiciously and for the government to take steps to ensure that the rule of law is not undermined during such times.
