Awọn alaye Idahun
A major contentious issue confronting Nigerian Federalism is revenue allocation. Revenue allocation refers to the process of distributing revenue generated by the federation among its constituent units (states and local governments) according to a specified formula. There have been constant agitations by various regions and states for a review of the revenue allocation formula, with some arguing that the current formula is unfair and does not take into account the population and resource endowment of each state. This has led to frequent calls for restructuring of the Nigerian federation to address this issue and ensure equitable distribution of resources among the various regions and states.

The Independence Constitution is the constitution that granted Nigeria independence in 1960. One of its major weaknesses is that it failed to provide the country with full sovereignty.

The parliamentary system of government is the system where the ceremonial and executive powers are fused. In this system, the head of state, who is usually a monarch or a president with ceremonial powers, and the head of government, who is the prime minister with executive powers, are part of the same institution (parliament). This means that the prime minister is accountable to the parliament for the actions of the government, and can be removed from office by a vote of no confidence. The parliamentary system is different from the presidential system of government, where the head of state and head of government are separate institutions.

In theory, one major advantage of the one-party system is that it serves as an instrument of national integration. A one-party system is a form of government in which a single political party holds the power and controls the government. This system is often associated with countries that have a history of instability or are transitioning from colonial rule to independence. In such cases, the one-party system can promote national unity by suppressing regional, ethnic, or religious differences that may lead to conflict. By creating a single, unified political entity, the one-party system can provide a sense of stability and direction for the country. This can also make it easier for the government to implement policies and programs aimed at promoting economic development and social progress. However, it should be noted that in practice, one-party systems have been criticized for being undemocratic and limiting political freedom, which can ultimately stifle progress and development.

Awọn alaye Idahun
The system in which the power of the component units is more than that of the central government is called a confederal system. In a confederal system, the central government has limited power and authority over the component units, which retain most of the decision-making power. The component units, such as states or provinces, have greater autonomy and are able to make their own laws and policies without interference from the central government. Confederal systems are often formed by independent states or regions that come together for a specific purpose, such as defense or trade. These systems are characterized by a loose alliance between the component units, and decisions are often made through consensus rather than through a centralized authority. Examples of confederal systems include the European Union and the former Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. In contrast, federal systems like the United States and Canada, have a more balanced distribution of power between the central government and component units, while unitary systems like France and Japan, have a more centralized government with limited powers given to component units. Monarchical systems have a king or queen as the head of the state, but their power may vary depending on the country's specific political structure.
