Maelezo ya Majibu
Three of the principles used in revenue allocation in Nigeria are derivation, equality, and even development. Derivation refers to the principle that revenue should be allocated based on the level of natural resources and revenue generated in a particular region. For example, if a particular region has a high level of oil production, it should receive a larger share of revenue allocation. Equality refers to the principle that all states and regions in Nigeria should receive an equal share of revenue allocation, regardless of their level of natural resources or revenue generated. This is intended to promote fairness and reduce disparities between different parts of the country. Even development refers to the principle that revenue allocation should be used to promote economic and social development across all regions of Nigeria. This means that funds should be allocated to areas that are economically disadvantaged or in need of infrastructure development, in order to reduce inequalities and promote growth across the country.

Maelezo ya Majibu
In the First Republic of Nigeria, the country was very reluctant to have meaningful interaction with the Soviet Union. The Nigerian government under Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa was ideologically aligned with the Western bloc during the Cold War and was a member of the Non-Aligned Movement. Therefore, Nigeria maintained a cautious relationship with the Soviet Union and limited its interactions with them, particularly in the areas of military and economic cooperation. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, attempted to strengthen its ties with Nigeria through diplomatic and economic means, but was met with limited success due to Nigeria's alignment with the West.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The dramatic rise in the membership of the United Nations (UN) during late 1991 and early 1992 is best accounted for by the break-up of the Soviet Union into independent republics. As the Soviet Union dissolved, it transformed into several independent republics, each with its own distinct identity and government. Many of these newly independent states sought to join the UN, as membership would provide them with international recognition and legitimacy. As a result, the UN experienced a significant increase in membership during this period, with several former Soviet republics joining the organization. This was a major development for the UN, as it marked a significant expansion of the organization's membership and influence in the world.

Which of the following ideologies advocates governmental control over all sources of power?
Maelezo ya Majibu
Totalitarianism is the ideology that advocates for governmental control over all sources of power. Totalitarianism is a form of government that seeks to control all aspects of society, including politics, economy, culture, and the lives of individuals. It is characterized by a single-party dictatorship, a highly centralized government, and the suppression of opposition and dissent. In a totalitarian system, the government controls all aspects of society, including the media, education, and the economy. It uses propaganda, censorship, and surveillance to maintain its power and control over the population. Totalitarianism is often associated with oppressive and brutal regimes, such as Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia. It is considered to be a highly authoritarian and anti-democratic ideology that undermines individual freedom and human rights. In contrast, democracy is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of individual freedom, human rights, and the rule of law. In a democratic system, power is distributed among different institutions, and citizens have the right to participate in the decision-making process through free and fair elections.

The primary factor which led to the formation of political parties in colonial Nigeria was the introduction of the elective principle and representative institutions by the colonial administration. This allowed for the emergence of a class of educated and politically conscious Nigerians who sought to participate in the governance of their country. The introduction of these institutions created a platform for political mobilization, which led to the formation of political parties as different groups sought to articulate their interests and visions for the country.

The results of the 1973 census in Nigeria were rejected because they were controversial. This means that the figures were disputed or disagreed upon by different groups or individuals. The controversy arose mainly from concerns about the accuracy of the census, as well as allegations of fraud and manipulation of the results by various interest groups.

Maelezo ya Majibu
During the nationalist struggle for Nigeria's independence, the Northern People's Congress (NPC) supported a gradual evolution towards independence. This meant that the NPC did not push for immediate independence but instead advocated for a process that would lead to independence in a gradual and orderly manner. The NPC was primarily concerned with protecting the interests of the Northern region and ensuring that the region was not left behind in the rush towards independence. They believed that a gradual approach would give the Northern region time to catch up with the more developed Southern region and ensure a smooth transition to independence without causing any instability or unrest. Therefore, the NPC played a significant role in negotiating Nigeria's independence with the British colonial authorities, eventually leading to Nigeria's independence in 1960.

It was founded after World War I in 1920 with the aim of promoting peace and international cooperation among nations. The League of Nations was the first international organization created to maintain world peace and prevent future wars. However, due to its failure to prevent World War II, it was dissolved in 1946 and replaced by the United Nations. The European Economic Community, the Organisation of American States, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are not predecessors of the United Nations, but rather different international organizations with different purposes and goals.

Maelezo ya Majibu
During the pre-colonial period in Eastern Nigeria, autocratic rule was made difficult by the absence of a system of centralized authority. Unlike in some other parts of Africa where there were powerful empires or kingdoms with centralized authority, Eastern Nigeria was made up of numerous small states and communities, each with their own rulers and systems of government. This made it difficult for any one ruler to assert total control over the region. In addition, there were various checks and balances in place to prevent any one ruler from becoming too powerful, including the activities of secret societies, the fear of detronement, and the demands of pressure groups. As a result, power was distributed among many different actors, making it difficult for any one person or group to dominate the political landscape.

Which of the following was NOT a feature of colonial administration in Nigera?
Maelezo ya Majibu
The feature of colonial administration in Nigeria that was NOT mentioned among the options is "education levy." Education levy was not a common feature of colonial administration in Nigeria. Forced labor, low prices for exports, and taxes on the population were all common features of colonial administration in Nigeria. Forced labor was used to extract resources, build infrastructure, and maintain the colonial economy. Low prices for exports allowed the colonial powers to benefit from the sale of Nigerian resources, while taxes on the population generated revenue for the colonial government. However, education levy was not a typical feature of colonial administration in Nigeria. Although colonial governments established schools in Nigeria, they were primarily focused on training clerks, interpreters, and other officials to serve the colonial administration. The vast majority of Nigerians did not have access to formal education during the colonial period, and education was not a priority for the colonial authorities.

Maelezo ya Majibu
Nigeria's foreign policy of non-alignment was mainly a response to the East-West ideological competition. During the Cold War era, the world was polarized into two blocs: the capitalist West, led by the United States, and the communist East, led by the Soviet Union. Nigeria, as a newly independent nation, did not want to take sides in this rivalry, and instead chose to remain neutral and non-aligned. This decision was based on the belief that it was in the best interest of Nigeria to maintain friendly relations with both sides, while pursuing its own national interests. Nigeria's non-alignment policy allowed it to maintain economic and political ties with both the West and the East, and to promote peace and stability in the region.

By doing so, they can improve the quality of services or products provided, reduce waste and lower costs, which can benefit both consumers and the economy as a whole. However, it's important to note that privatization may not always lead to positive outcomes, and it's necessary to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits before implementing it.

The Yoruba traditional governmental system was known for its rich cultural practices, including the use of council meetings, divination, and the use of traditional titles and honorifics to maintain order and social harmony in the society.

Which of the following is NOT an an acceptable means of achieving democracy?
Maelezo ya Majibu
Riots are not an acceptable means of achieving democracy. Riots are characterized by violence, destruction of property, and chaos, which are detrimental to the democratic process. Democracy is a peaceful and orderly system that allows citizens to express their views and make decisions through peaceful means, such as voting, dialogue, and peaceful protests. Riots, on the other hand, undermine the principles of democracy, as they are often associated with the suppression of free speech, intimidation of citizens, and anarchy. Riots can also lead to the violation of human rights, loss of lives and property, and instability in a country. Therefore, riots cannot be considered an acceptable means of achieving democracy, and peaceful methods should be employed instead. Referendum, recall, and initiative, are all acceptable means of achieving democracy, as they allow citizens to express their opinions and participate in the decision-making process through peaceful and democratic means.

Universal adult suffrage is usually restricted in most political systems to citizens. This means that only people who hold citizenship in a country are eligible to vote in elections. The idea behind this restriction is that citizens have a vested interest in the country's future and should have a say in how it is governed. Restrictions based on landed property or literacy were common in the past but are no longer widely used. Additionally, age restrictions on voting are sometimes in place, but they usually require individuals to be of a certain age or older, rather than restricting those who are too old.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The dual mandate was proposed by Lord Lugard. He was a British colonial administrator who served as the Governor of both the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria from 1912 to 1919. Lord Lugard believed that the British colonial administration had a dual mandate in Nigeria. The first mandate was to rule and govern the country for the benefit of the people, and the second mandate was to develop the country economically and socially. In other words, the dual mandate meant that the British colonial administration had a responsibility to improve the economic and social conditions of the people while also governing the country. This concept was controversial as it was seen by some as a justification for colonialism, and by others as a recognition of the responsibility of colonial powers to improve the lives of the people they governed.

Maelezo ya Majibu
Law making under military regimes is done through the promulgation of decrees. Decrees are executive orders issued by military rulers or heads of state that have the force of law. In military regimes, the legislative power is often taken over by the executive, which means that laws can be made without the need for parliamentary approval or public consultation. Military rulers issue decrees to control various aspects of society, including civil liberties, press freedom, and economic activities. Decrees can be used to amend existing laws or introduce new ones, and they have the same legal force as laws passed by elected representatives in a democratic system. The ministry of justice may be involved in the drafting of decrees, but ultimately, the decision to promulgate a decree lies with the military ruler or the head of state. The use of decrees in law making under military regimes is often criticized for its lack of transparency, accountability, and public participation in the law-making process.
