Associations, connections and affiliations between two or more people is what type of relationship?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The type of relationship that refers to associations, connections, and affiliations between two or more people is called "interpersonal" relationships. Interpersonal relationships involve interactions and communication between individuals, and can vary in their level of intimacy, duration, and context. Examples of interpersonal relationships include friendships, romantic relationships, family relationships, and professional relationships.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Membership of an organization associated with secrecy of operations in society can be an indication of cultism. A cult is defined as a social group defined by its religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, and characterized by its extreme devotion to its leader and/or ideology. Cults often operate in secret and may have strict rules and codes of conduct for members, which can lead to a sense of isolation and disconnection from the outside world. Members may be discouraged from talking about their involvement in the group or sharing information about its activities, which can contribute to a sense of secrecy. It is important to note that not all organizations that operate in secrecy are cults, and that many legitimate organizations may have a need for confidentiality for various reasons. However, if an organization's secrecy seems excessive and is combined with other warning signs, such as controlling behavior by leadership or a sense of manipulation or brainwashing among members, it may be worth considering the possibility of cult involvement.

Citizenship education ensures that citizens become aware of

Awọn alaye Idahun

Citizenship education ensures that citizens become aware of the tenets of the laws of the society. Citizenship education refers to the teaching and learning of the rights, responsibilities, and duties of citizens in a society. Through citizenship education, individuals become aware of the laws and regulations that govern their society, and how to abide by them. They learn about the values and principles that underpin their society, such as democracy, freedom, justice, and equality. While citizenship education may also touch on other topics, such as leadership, conflict resolution, and justice, the main focus is on creating informed and responsible citizens who are knowledgeable about the laws of their society and how to contribute positively to it.

Chalyn's ordeal would have been likely prevented through all the following means except

Awọn alaye Idahun

Chalyn's ordeal could have been likely prevented through poverty alleviation programs, effective family planning, qualitative higher education, or skill acquisition courses. However, it is not likely that any of these means would have prevented her ordeal entirely. Chalyn's ordeal refers to a specific event, and without more context about what that event is, it is difficult to say for certain which means would have prevented it. It is possible that none of these means would have been able to prevent Chalyn's ordeal, or that a different means altogether would have been necessary. In general, poverty alleviation programs, effective family planning, qualitative higher education, and skill acquisition courses are all important tools for addressing various social and economic issues, and can help prevent a wide range of problems. However, the effectiveness of these means may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the particular issue at hand.

Awọn alaye Idahun

A major reason that fosters healthy interpersonal relationships is having common goals. When people have shared objectives, they are able to work together towards a common purpose, which can strengthen their bond and create a positive dynamic. Having common goals can also help to resolve conflicts that may arise, as individuals are able to see the bigger picture and understand each other's perspectives. Additionally, working together towards a shared goal can also create a sense of teamwork and camaraderie, which can further enhance the relationship. It is important to note that other factors, such as open communication, mutual respect, and trust, are also important in fostering healthy relationships. While having common goals is a key component, it is only one part of a larger picture.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The step towards sustaining national unity that does not fit is "discouraging inter-religious marriages." National unity is about bringing people from different backgrounds together to create a cohesive and harmonious society. Discouraging inter-religious marriages goes against this objective, as it implies that people should only marry within their own religion, which could lead to a divided society. On the other hand, emphasizing factors that unite a nation, respecting national symbols, and working towards achieving national objectives are essential steps towards sustaining national unity. Emphasizing commonalities among people and celebrating national symbols helps to create a shared sense of identity, while working towards national objectives promotes a sense of national purpose and common goals.

Which of these societal values is most expected of every public office holder?

Awọn alaye Idahun

One of the most important societal values that is expected of every public office holder is accountability. Accountability means that public office holders are responsible for their actions and decisions, and they must be able to answer for them. When public office holders are accountable, they are transparent about their actions and decisions, and they can be held responsible if they violate the law or fail to uphold their duties. This helps to ensure that public officials act in the best interests of the people they serve, rather than in their own self-interest. Excellence is also important because it means that public officials strive for the highest standards of performance and service delivery. Hospitality is about being welcoming and friendly to others, and diplomacy is about being able to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts. While all of these values are important, accountability is the most essential because it is the foundation for ensuring that public office holders are held responsible for their actions and decisions. When public officials are accountable, it helps to build trust and confidence in government, which is essential for a healthy democracy.

The programmes political parties intend to implement if they are voted into power are known as political

Awọn alaye Idahun

The programmes that political parties plan to put into action if they win an election are called manifestoes. A manifesto is a written statement of a political party's aims and policies for the future, which they promise to implement if they are elected to power. It's a way for voters to understand what a party stands for and what changes they would make if they were in charge. So, if you're interested in a particular party's views and plans, you can read their manifesto to get a clear picture of what they plan to do if they win the election.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Cultism is usually not associated with academic excellence. Cultism, also known as secret cults or fraternities, often involves violent and criminal activities, such as intimidation, harassment, and even murder. Members of these cults often prioritize loyalty to their group over their academic pursuits, and may engage in activities that are detrimental to their academic success. In fact, involvement in cultism can often lead to rustication (expulsion) from school, stigmatization from the wider community, and even spiritual problems. Therefore, academic excellence is not usually associated with cultism, as the two are often seen as incompatible.

An importance of effective parenting is that it ensures

Awọn alaye Idahun

Effective parenting is important because it ensures that morally upright children are raised for the society. When parents are effective, they are able to instill values, discipline, and moral principles in their children. This makes the children grow up to become responsible, respectful, and law-abiding members of society. Effective parenting also involves providing emotional support, setting boundaries, and being good role models for their children. This helps children develop positive self-esteem, social skills, and a sense of responsibility. Ultimately, effective parenting lays the foundation for the children's future success and well-being.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Paying our taxes and assisting the government in the fight against crime are examples of civil obligations. Civil obligations are duties or responsibilities that individuals have as members of society. They are typically enforced by law and are necessary for maintaining order and harmony in a community. Paying taxes is a civil obligation because it is required by law and helps to fund essential government services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Assisting the government in the fight against crime is also a civil obligation because it helps to ensure public safety and uphold the rule of law. By fulfilling our civil obligations, we contribute to the well-being of our society and help to create a more just and equitable community.

Awọn alaye Idahun

A child who is forced to engage in hawking all day must have been denied the right to education. Education is the process of acquiring knowledge and skills, and it is a fundamental human right for every child. When a child is forced to hawk goods all day, it means they are not able to go to school, learn and acquire knowledge that would be helpful for their future. It also means that the child is being deprived of the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society. Therefore, denying a child the right to education is a violation of their fundamental human rights.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The right to vie for public office falls under political rights. Political rights are the rights that allow individuals to participate in the government of their country. These rights include the right to vote, the right to hold public office, and the right to participate in political activities. The right to vie for public office means that any person who meets the legal requirements can run for a public office such as a mayor, governor, or president. This right is an important aspect of democracy because it allows citizens to choose their leaders and to have a say in how their government is run.

Constitutional provisions cannot be derived from

Awọn alaye Idahun

Constitutional provisions cannot be derived from colonial policies. Colonial policies refer to the rules and regulations enforced by a colonial power in a foreign territory that they control. These policies do not have any legal authority or relevance in an independent country with its own constitution. Constitutional provisions can be derived from statutory sources, which are written laws passed by the legislature, customary sources, which are long-established customs and practices recognized by the legal system, and judicial precedents, which are past court decisions that establish legal principles.

Which of the following is not a feature of civil society?

Awọn alaye Idahun

Soliciting for political patronage is not a feature of civil society. Civil society refers to the space in society where citizens can come together and organize themselves independently of the state and the market to pursue their shared interests and goals. The features of civil society include the protection of the interests of society, voluntary membership and participation, and respect for constituted authority. However, soliciting for political patronage, which refers to seeking the favor of political leaders in exchange for support, is not a feature of civil society. This is because civil society organizations are meant to be independent and autonomous from political actors, and should not be influenced by political patronage or partisanship. Instead, civil society organizations should operate based on their own values and principles, and work to promote the common good without being beholden to any political agenda.

Politically enlightened people may still feel discouraged in the political affairs of their society because of political "marginalization". Marginalization refers to the exclusion or neglect of a certain group of people from mainstream political activities and decision-making processes. Even if someone is politically knowledgeable and aware, they may feel powerless and discouraged if they belong to a marginalized group and are not given equal opportunities to participate in politics. They may feel like their voices and opinions are not being heard, which can lead to a sense of disillusionment and apathy towards politics.

The term that describes creating an environment that allows someone to have control over their financial situation is "empowerment." Empowerment means giving someone the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to take charge of their financial situation and make informed decisions about their money. This could include things like providing financial education and training, access to financial services and products, and support for developing financial goals and plans. By empowering individuals to take control of their finances, they can improve their financial well-being, make progress towards their goals, and ultimately achieve greater financial stability and security.

On the other hand, the other options listed - fostering political stability, enhancing the dividends of democracy, and influencing the direction of government policies - are all factors that can encourage and facilitate political participation.

From the passage, it could be inferred that Chalyn is majorly a victim of human trafficking. Chalyn was introduced to a trafficking agent who took her abroad where she was compelled to engage in prostitution, and after five years, she was deported after contracting HIVIAIDS.

Therefore, compromising the rule of law does not promote national consciousness, unity, and integrity. Instead, it undermines them.

Awọn alaye Idahun

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are stigmatized by refusal of privileges. Stigma is a negative attitude or belief that leads to discrimination against a person or group of people. People living with HIV/AIDS are often stigmatized because of fear and ignorance about the disease. One way this stigma manifests is through the refusal of privileges, such as the denial of access to healthcare, education, employment, housing, and social services. PLWHA may face discrimination from employers, healthcare providers, and others who fear that they may contract the virus. This stigma can have a profound impact on the lives of PLWHA, leading to social isolation, depression, and other negative health outcomes. It is important to combat HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination by promoting education, awareness, and understanding of the disease and its impact on individuals and communities.

All of the options listed except for being conscious of road signs can be a cause of accidents on the road. Praying while driving can be a distraction that takes a driver's attention away from the road, while eating while driving can also distract the driver and impair their ability to control the vehicle. Taking alcohol before driving is also a significant risk factor for accidents as it impairs judgment and slows reaction times. On the other hand, being conscious of road signs is actually an important factor in preventing accidents, as they provide information about road conditions and potential hazards, helping drivers to navigate the road safely. Therefore, it is important for drivers to pay attention to road signs and obey traffic laws to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.

Having self control helps individuals maintain their composure and make decisions that are in their best interest, even when under pressure.

One established way Labour Unions protect the interest of workers is through industrial action. This can take various forms such as strikes, go-slows, and work-to-rule, which are aimed at putting pressure on employers to meet the demands of the workers. By engaging in industrial action, unions are able to negotiate better pay, improved working conditions, and other benefits for their members. This can ultimately result in a better quality of life for workers and their families. However, it is important to note that industrial action should be a last resort and that unions should always seek to engage in dialogue with employers to resolve any issues.

Which of the following has the power to impeach the president in Nigeria?

Awọn alaye Idahun

In Nigeria, the power to impeach the President is vested in the Legislature, which is the branch of government responsible for making laws. Specifically, the National Assembly, which is the bicameral legislature made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, has the power to initiate and carry out the impeachment process. To impeach the President, the National Assembly must first pass a resolution by a two-thirds majority vote of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, alleging that the President has committed a "gross misconduct" while in office. The allegations must then be investigated by a special committee, and if the committee finds the allegations to be true, the National Assembly may then proceed to impeach the President by another two-thirds majority vote. It's important to note that the impeachment process is a serious and complex one, and it can only be initiated under specific circumstances as stated in the Nigerian Constitution. Therefore, it's not a power that can be abused by the Legislature for political reasons.

This can result in more transparency and responsiveness to the needs and concerns of the community.
2. Increased civic engagement: Popular participation can increase civic engagement, which is important for the development of a society. This includes involvement in community organizations, volunteerism, and voting in elections.
3. Greater representation: When more people participate in decision-making processes, it can lead to greater representation of diverse perspectives and voices. This can lead to more inclusive and equitable policies and programs.
4. Enhanced problem-solving: Popular participation can enhance problem-solving by bringing together diverse perspectives and ideas. This can result in more innovative and effective solutions to complex issues.

b) Civic education can play an important role in eradicating involvement in cult activities in society. Here are four ways it can help:

1. Awareness: Civic education can raise awareness about the dangers of cult activities and help people understand the negative impact they can have on individuals and society as a whole. This can help people make informed decisions about whether to join a cult group or not.

2. Critical thinking: Civic education can help people develop critical thinking skills that allow them to evaluate information and ideas critically. This can help people identify and reject false or misleading information that may be used to recruit them into cult groups.

3. Values: Civic education can promote values such as respect, tolerance, and empathy that can help people resist the pressure to join a cult group. It can also help people understand the importance of these values in creating a healthy and cohesive society.

4. Active citizenship: Civic education can encourage people to be active and engaged members of their communities. This can help create a sense of belonging and identity that makes people less vulnerable to the appeal of cult groups, which often offer a sense of belonging and identity to their members.

In summary, civic education can help eradicate involvement in cult activities by raising awareness, promoting critical thinking, fostering values that discourage involvement in cult activities, and encouraging active citizenship.

(b) Here are five reasons for the ineffectiveness and inefficiency of public servants in Nigeria:

1. Corruption: Corruption is one of the major factors that have contributed to the ineffectiveness and inefficiency of public servants in Nigeria. Many public servants engage in corrupt practices such as embezzlement, bribery, and favoritism, which undermine the effectiveness and efficiency of public service delivery.
2. Lack of accountability: Public servants in Nigeria are often not held accountable for their actions, which contributes to the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the public service. This lack of accountability leads to a culture of impunity, where public servants feel that they can get away with any wrongdoing.

This lack of funding leads to a shortage of resources, equipment, and personnel, which undermines the effectiveness and efficiency of public service delivery.

Political interference often results in the appointment of unqualified personnel and the implementation of policies that are not in the best interests of citizens.
5. Poor remuneration and motivation: Public servants in Nigeria are often poorly paid, which makes it difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. This lack of motivation leads to low morale, absenteeism, and a lack of commitment to delivering quality public services.

(a) Explain any three pillars of democracy from the list below: (i) independent judiciary (ii) the military (iii) political parties (iv) civil society organizations (v) free and independent press
(b) Highlight three reasons why competition for political power among poiticians if fierce in Nigeria.

Awọn alaye Idahun

(a) Three pillars of democracy from the list:

1. Independent judiciary: A judiciary that is independent from political influence is an important component of a democratic system. This means that the judiciary must be free from interference by the executive or legislative branches of government and must be able to make decisions based on the law and the constitution.
2. Political parties: Political parties are a cornerstone of democratic systems. They provide a way for citizens to organize around different ideas and ideologies, and to compete for political power through elections.
3. Civil society organizations: Civil society organizations, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), are important in a democratic system because they provide a space for citizens to come together and advocate for their interests and rights. They can also serve as a check on the power of the state and help to hold elected officials accountable.

(b) Three reasons for fierce competition for political power in Nigeria:

1. High population and diversity: Nigeria has a large and diverse population, which makes it difficult for any one political party to gain a significant advantage. This results in intense competition among political parties for the support of voters.
2. Resources: Nigeria is rich in natural resources such as oil and gas, which makes political power particularly attractive. Political officeholders have access to these resources and the power to allocate them, which creates a strong incentive for politicians to compete for political power.
3. Corruption: Corruption is a significant issue in Nigeria and has contributed to the perception that political office is a means to personal gain. This has increased the level of competition among politicians for political power, as they see it as an opportunity to enrich themselves.
