Vraag 1 Verslag
Which of the following is the unique feature of Monarchy?
Antwoorddetails
The unique feature of monarchy is that the succession to the throne is hereditary. This means that the ruler or monarch is usually a member of a specific family or dynasty, and their position is passed down to their children or closest relative upon their death or abdication. Unlike other forms of government where leaders are elected or appointed based on their qualifications or popularity, in a monarchy, the position is determined by birthright. This system has been used in many countries throughout history, and some still exist today.
Vraag 2 Verslag
Which of the following is not an agent of political socialization?
Antwoorddetails
The correct option is "Tourism" because tourism is not an agent of political socialization. Political socialization is the process by which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors of their political system. The agents of political socialization are the sources or channels through which political socialization occurs. They include the family, the mass media, peer groups, schools and universities, and religious institutions. However, tourism is not an agent of political socialization because it does not directly influence an individual's political beliefs or behavior.
Vraag 3 Verslag
The limitation on the right to life can be found
Antwoorddetails
The limitation on the right to life refers to circumstances under which the right to life can be lawfully restricted. This limitation can be found in the case of a convicted person. A convicted person who has been found guilty of a serious crime may be sentenced to death, which means that their right to life has been restricted. Other circumstances that may limit the right to life include self-defense and the use of force by law enforcement officials in certain situations. These limitations are generally put in place to protect the safety and well-being of society as a whole. The right to life is a fundamental human right, but it is not an absolute right, and limitations can be imposed on it in certain circumstances.

Antwoorddetails
A country is most likely to have a good government if it has a good constitution and good operators. A good constitution provides the framework for how the government should function and ensures that power is distributed appropriately, while good operators refer to the people who run the government, such as elected officials and civil servants. A good government requires a balance between these two factors, as a good constitution alone cannot ensure a good government without competent and ethical operators, and good operators cannot overcome a poorly designed or corrupt constitution. Legitimacy and military support may also be important factors, but they are not sufficient on their own to guarantee a good government.

Antwoorddetails
Nigeria’s foreign policy came into the limelight at independence because only at independence do states proclaim their foreign policy principles. As a newly independent nation, Nigeria had to establish its foreign policy and diplomatic relations with other countries. It was a significant turning point for Nigeria's foreign policy because it was the first time Nigeria had the opportunity to articulate its foreign policy principles and determine its relations with other nations. Therefore, Nigeria's foreign policy was a crucial aspect of the country's independence, and it received widespread attention.

Antwoorddetails
The indirect rule system succeeded in Hausa/Fulani society because the existing administration favoured the system. Indirect rule is a form of colonial management in which local traditional rulers are used to rule the colonized people on behalf of the colonial government. In Hausa/Fulani society, the emirates and sultanates were already in existence, with a well-established system of governance that revolved around traditional rulers. The British colonial government, therefore, found it easier to adapt to the existing system of governance rather than imposing a new one. The emirs were made to rule on behalf of the British government, and this helped to maintain the traditional rulers' authority and the existing social structure, which the people were already familiar with. This is why indirect rule succeeded in Hausa/Fulani society.

Antwoorddetails
Acquiring citizenship through naturalization is a legal process that involves fulfilling specific requirements, such as living in a country for a certain number of years, having a clean criminal record, and passing language and/or citizenship tests. In Nigeria, an alien who has lived in the country for twenty years and has shown evidence of a clear intention to continue residing in the country may apply for citizenship through naturalization. This process involves applying to the President through the Minister of Interior, and if the application is successful, the alien will be granted Nigerian citizenship and issued a certificate of naturalization. Therefore, the answer to the question is "naturalization".

Antwoorddetails
A multi-party system is a political system in which several political parties compete for power and can win elections. One of the most important merits of a multi-party system is that it gives representation to the widest shades of opinion and interest. This means that people with different views, ideas, and interests have the opportunity to participate in the political process and have their voices heard through the political parties that represent them. In a multi-party system, smaller political parties also have the chance to gain political power and influence, as opposed to a two-party system where only the two major parties have a real chance of winning elections. This diversity of representation allows for a more inclusive and democratic political system, where different ideas and perspectives are debated and decisions are made through a more open and transparent process.

Antwoorddetails
A necessary companion of the Rule of Law is the supremacy of the ordinary law. This means that every person, including those in government, is subject to the law and no one is above the law. The principle of the Rule of Law ensures that the law is clear, predictable, and applied equally to all individuals, regardless of their status or position in society. It promotes accountability, transparency, and fairness in the legal system, and helps to prevent abuse of power by those in authority. Therefore, the principle of the Rule of Law is essential for the protection of individual rights, the maintenance of order, and the promotion of a just and democratic society.

In the 1979 Presidential election in Nigeria, a candidate was required to be a Nigerian citizen by birth, be sponsored by a registered political party, have paid his income tax for three years as and when due, and be at least thirty-five (35) years of age. There was no requirement for the candidate to be an indigene of the northern states. Note: It is important to clarify that the requirements for Presidential candidates in Nigeria have changed over the years, so this answer only applies to the specific election mentioned in the question.

The policy was aimed at addressing the effects of the war and restoring stability to the country.
Vraag 17 Verslag
Which of the following is not true of a federal system of government? The
Antwoorddetails
The statement "Powers are not constitutionally shared" is not true of a federal system of government. In a federal system, powers are constitutionally shared between the central government and the constituent units (such as states or provinces). This means that there are certain powers that are reserved for the central government, and others that are reserved for the constituent units. The constitution is written and rigid, and there are component units with their own governments and legislative lists. Additionally, both the federal and constituent units are independent and co-ordinate in a federal system of government.

Antwoorddetails
One of the modern principles of government found in the traditional political system of Yoruba is that of "checks and balances". This principle involves a system of ensuring that no one person or group in power becomes too powerful and tyrannical. In Yoruba tradition, power is shared between different groups such as the king (Oba), council of chiefs (Oyo Mesi), and the people (Omo Oduduwa) to ensure a balance of power. This is achieved through various checks and balances, including the ability of the council of chiefs to limit the power of the king and the people's right to voice their opinions on issues affecting them. Overall, the principle of checks and balances is intended to prevent abuse of power and ensure a fair and just governance system.

Which of the following has the Organization of African Unity (OAU) failed to achieve?
Antwoorddetails
The Organization of African Unity (OAU) has been instrumental in promoting the collective interests of African nations since its formation in 1963. However, like any organization, it has faced its share of challenges and has not been able to achieve all its goals. Of the options provided, the one that the OAU has failed to achieve is setting up an African High Command. An African High Command was proposed by Ghana's President Kwame Nkrumah in 1963 as a means of coordinating African military power to defend the continent against external aggression. However, the idea never gained traction among African leaders, and the OAU never established an African High Command. The other options listed are all areas in which the OAU made significant contributions. The OAU played a key role in mediating border disputes between member states, providing assistance to liberation movements in African countries, contributing to the economic and social development of member states, and providing a forum for the discussion of common problems.

Antwoorddetails
The decision to separate Lagos from the Western Region and make it a neutral Federal territory was taken at the 1954 constitutional conference. At the conference, a motion was moved to create a Federal territory in Lagos, which was approved and subsequently signed into law by the Governor-General of Nigeria. The decision was made due to the fact that Lagos was the federal capital of Nigeria and was seen as a neutral ground that could not be claimed by any of the regions. This decision helped to ease tensions between the regions and paved the way for the development of Lagos as a cosmopolitan city and the eventual creation of Lagos State.

Antwoorddetails
The main criticism against pre-independence political parties in Nigeria was that they were not national in outlook. This means that these parties were not representative of the entire country and did not have a clear national agenda. They were largely dominated by regional or ethnic interests, which limited their ability to address national issues and promote unity among the diverse ethnic and religious groups in the country. This criticism was particularly relevant in the lead up to Nigeria's independence in 1960, as the country faced the challenge of forging a national identity and creating a system of government that could accommodate its diverse population.

Vraag 29 Verslag
Which of the following is a basic principle of democracy? Rule by
Antwoorddetails
A basic principle of democracy is the rule by the majority and the right of the minority. This means that in a democratic system, decisions are made by the majority of the people through free and fair elections, and the rights of the minority are protected. This ensures that everyone has a voice in the decision-making process, and that the government is accountable to the people it serves. The other options presented in the question, such as rule by the wealthy few, a monarch, or two political parties, do not align with the basic principle of democracy as they do not prioritize the equal representation and protection of all citizens.

Antwoorddetails

This refers to the set of objectives or goals that a state pursues in relation to its interactions with other states in the international system. These interests may include, among others, security, economic well-being, territorial integrity, and the promotion of certain values or ideals.

Vraag 32 Verslag

Antwoorddetails
A representative government can be established through a general election. In a general election, citizens are given the opportunity to vote for representatives who will represent their interests in government. This ensures that the government is accountable to the people and the people have a say in the decision-making process. Other options such as military coup, imposition, espionage, and apartheid do not establish a representative government. In fact, they may undermine the democratic process and limit the people's ability to have a voice in their government.
Vraag 33 Verslag
The independence of the Judiciary can be enhance in all the following cases except where
Antwoorddetails
The independence of the Judiciary refers to the ability of judges to make decisions without fear of retribution or influence from other branches of government. It is important for the protection of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Of the options given, the independence of the judiciary would not be enhanced if the President is also the Chief Judge. This is because the President, being the head of the executive branch, would have undue influence on the judiciary, which is a separate and independent branch of government. The judiciary must remain separate and independent from the executive and legislative branches of government for its decisions to be impartial and just.
Vraag 34 Verslag

Antwoorddetails
Between 1960 and 1980, Nigeria experienced all the listed systems of government except confederalism. Confederalism is a system of government in which several states or regional governments come together to form a loose union with a weak central government that has limited power. During this period, Nigeria started out as a federal system of government at independence in 1960, and continued as such until the civil war in 1967, when it briefly became a unitary system. After the civil war, Nigeria returned to a federal system in 1970, and remained so until the military coup of 1983, which ushered in a presidential system of government. Therefore, the correct answer is "confederal."

Antwoorddetails
The 1954 Constitution of Nigeria made the country a true Federation because it provided for a division of functions between the center and the regions. This means that the central government and the regional governments were given specific areas of responsibility and authority to govern, which reduced the powers of the central government and allowed for greater autonomy and control by the regional governments. This was an important feature of a true federation, which allows for a sharing of power and authority between different levels of government.

Antwoorddetails
The option that did not generate political crises in Nigeria is the adoption of Abuja as the new Federal Capital. This decision was made by the military government in 1976 and was not met with significant political opposition or unrest. The other options listed all resulted in political crises and upheaval in Nigeria at various times. For example, the motion for self-government in 1956 by Enahoro was met with strong opposition from the colonial government, which led to protests and demonstrations. The 1965 election in the Western Region was marked by violence and allegations of fraud, which led to the declaration of a state of emergency. The head count of 1962 was a census exercise that was marred by controversy and allegations of ethnic bias, which led to protests and violence. Finally, the 1964 General Elections were characterized by widespread violence and rigging, which led to a state of emergency and the eventual collapse of the First Republic.

Which of the following is not a feature of capitalism?
Antwoorddetails

Capitalism is an economic system characterized by free enterprise, private ownership of capital, minimal government intervention, and the pursuit of profit maximization by individuals or firms. In capitalism, the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit in a competitive market. Workers are free to sell their labor to the highest bidder and consumers are free to buy goods and services at the lowest prices.

Antwoorddetails
When no candidate in an election receives an absolute majority (more than 50% of the votes), then a second round of voting may be held, called a second ballot. In the second ballot, only the two candidates with the highest number of votes in the first round are eligible to participate, and the winner is the candidate who receives the most votes in this second round. This is considered the most viable option when no absolute majority is obtained in the first round of elections, as it allows voters to choose between the two most popular candidates and ensures that the winner has the support of a majority of voters.
