The Nigerian Youth Movement collapsed as the result of

its failure to win election

shortage of funds to run its affairs

the harassment of its leadership by the government.

the breakup of its leadership. Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

The Nigerian Youth Movement collapsed as a result of the breakup of its leadership. The movement, which was one of the first nationalist organizations in Nigeria, was founded in 1934 to promote the interests of Nigerian youths and advocate for self-rule. However, the movement was plagued by internal divisions and struggles for power, particularly between the older and younger generations of leaders. These divisions eventually led to the breakup of the movement, which was unable to maintain its unity and effectiveness as a political force. While government harassment and funding shortages may have also contributed to the movement's decline, it was primarily the internal divisions and leadership struggles that caused the collapse of the Nigerian Youth Movement.

accused is a culprit before trial

accused must receive fair hearing Resposta correta

accused is an offender

Detalhes da Resposta

One of the features of the rule of law is that the accused must receive a fair hearing. This means that anyone who is accused of a crime has the right to a fair trial, which includes the right to present evidence and argue their case before an impartial judge or jury. The accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and it is the responsibility of the prosecution to prove the accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The rule of law ensures that all individuals, including the accused, are subject to the same set of laws and are entitled to the same legal protections.

association

Detalhes da Resposta

The French colonial policy aimed at changing Africans into French men was the policy of "assimilation". This policy aimed to make the colonial subjects, in this case the Africans, adopt French culture and values and become fully integrated into French society. The idea was that the Africans would become "French" in every aspect, including language, religion, customs, and laws. The goal was to create a sense of unity and common identity between the colonial subjects and the colonial power, and to establish a strong French presence in the colonies. The policy of assimilation was implemented in various forms throughout the French colonial empire and had a lasting impact on the cultures and identities of the people who lived under French rule.

A major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is

the collapse of the Nigerian economy

reduction in foreign exchange

hıgh rate of indebtedness

mass retrenchment of labour Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

A major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is the mass retrenchment of labour. Privatization refers to the transfer of ownership and control of government-owned enterprises to private individuals or companies. In Nigeria, the privatization exercise began in the 1980s but was intensified in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the aim of improving the efficiency and competitiveness of state-owned enterprises. However, one of the consequences of the privatization exercise was the mass retrenchment of workers in the affected enterprises. This was because the new owners of the privatized companies often saw the need to cut costs and improve efficiency, and one way to do this was to reduce the workforce. The retrenchment exercise affected thousands of workers in various sectors, including telecommunications, banking, and manufacturing. This led to a significant increase in the rate of unemployment in the country and a decline in the standard of living for many families. While privatization may have some benefits, such as improving the efficiency of state-owned enterprises, it is important to consider the social consequences, such as the impact on workers and their families, and to put measures in place to mitigate these consequences.

One of the functions of political parties is to aggregate interest. Political parties are organizations that represent the views and interests of their members and supporters. They bring together people with similar political beliefs and aims, and help to articulate their shared concerns and priorities.

While political parties may influence the making of laws and the interpretation of the constitution, they do not have the legal authority to declare a state of emergency.

Detalhes da Resposta

The political system built around land ownership is called feudalism. In feudalism, the king or ruler granted land to lords, who in turn granted smaller pieces of land to vassals or peasants. The vassals were bound to serve their lords and provide them with military service, while the lords provided them with protection and a place to live. This system was prevalent in medieval Europe and was characterized by a rigid social hierarchy based on land ownership and military service.

The legislative items that are constitutionally reserved for only the central government in a federal system of government fall under the "exclusive" list. This means that only the central or federal government has the authority to make laws and regulations on these specific topics. The exclusive list typically includes areas such as national security, foreign affairs, and currency. In contrast, concurrent and residual lists refer to areas where both the central and state governments can make laws, and the residual list refers to areas where the state government has the authority to make laws if the central government has not already done so.

The first restructuring of the Nigerian Federation took place with the creation of the Mid-West Region in 1963. This was a significant moment in Nigeria's political history, as it marked the first time that the country was divided into regions based on cultural and ethnic identities. The creation of the Mid-West Region was seen as a response to the demands of the people of the region, who felt that their interests were not being adequately represented in the federal government. While the other options listed may also be important events in Nigeria's political history, they do not represent the first restructuring of the Nigerian Federation.

A constıtution that requires specific statutory procedures for amendment is said to be

uncodıfied

unwritten

flexible

rigıd Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

A constitution that requires specific statutory procedures for amendment is said to be "rigid". A rigid constitution is one that is difficult to amend or change. In such a constitution, there are specific procedures and requirements that must be followed in order to make changes to the document. The idea behind a rigid constitution is to ensure that the document is not easily altered or manipulated by those in power. This helps to provide a measure of stability and predictability in the governance of a country. However, it can also make it difficult to make necessary changes to the constitution in response to changing circumstances or the will of the people. In contrast, a flexible constitution is one that can be easily amended or changed through ordinary legislative procedures. This type of constitution allows for greater flexibility and adaptability in the governance of a country, but it can also make the document more vulnerable to political manipulation or abuse. Overall, the choice between a rigid or flexible constitution is a matter of balancing stability and predictability with adaptability and responsiveness to changing circumstances.

Pergunta 33 Relatório

Unitary system of government is best applicable to a/an

multi-party state

homogeneous state Resposta correta

heterogenous state

unicameral state

Detalhes da Resposta

A unitary system of government is a system where power is centralized and the national government holds most of the governing power. In such a system, the national government has the authority to delegate powers to local or regional governments, but it can also withdraw them if necessary. Regarding which type of state is best suited for a unitary system of government, a homogeneous state is often considered the best fit. This is because a homogeneous state is one in which the population shares a common language, culture, and identity. In such a state, there is often greater unity and less likelihood of conflict between different groups or regions. In a multi-party state, where different political parties have varying levels of power and influence, a unitary system of government may lead to a concentration of power in the hands of the ruling party, which could potentially lead to political instability and conflict. In a heterogeneous state, where different regions or ethnic groups have distinct identities and cultures, a unitary system of government could lead to tension between the national government and local or regional governments. This tension could arise from the national government's attempts to impose policies and regulations that do not reflect the needs or preferences of certain regions or groups. Finally, the type of legislature (unicameral or bicameral) is not a determining factor in whether a unitary system of government is best applicable. The decision to have a unicameral or bicameral legislature is a separate issue that is not directly related to the unitary system of government.
