Antwortdetails
In the non-stratified society of the pre-colonial era, such as among the Igbo people, decisions were made by consensus. This means that members of the community would come together and discuss issues until they reached an agreement that everyone was comfortable with. This system of decision-making was based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and everyone had a voice in the process. There were no formal leaders or rulers who made decisions on behalf of the people, and power was decentralized. Instead, decision-making was a collective responsibility, and every member of the community had a say in shaping their society.

This helps to ensure that government officials and entities follow the law and perform their duties properly.

Frage 9 Bericht

Antwortdetails
The standard test of the Classical federalism ideology is usually associated with K.C. Wheare, a political scientist who studied federal systems. Nigeria's federalism is often considered a flaw according to this standard because it does not adhere to the principles of federalism as defined by Wheare. In a classical federal system, power is divided between a central government and the constituent units (such as states or provinces), and each level of government has autonomy in its own sphere. Wheare identified four key features of federalism: a written constitution, a distribution of powers between the central and constituent units, independence of each level of government, and a judiciary that interprets the constitution and settles disputes. Nigeria's federal system, on the other hand, does not fully adhere to these principles. The central government has historically held more power than the constituent units, and there has been a history of interference in state affairs. Additionally, the judiciary has not always been fully independent, and there have been instances of federal intervention in state judicial matters. Overall, Nigeria's federal system has been criticized for being too centralized and not adhering to the principles of classical federalism as defined by K.C. Wheare.

Antwortdetails
The last measure used by pressure groups that involves setting a condition to be met within a specific timeframe is called an "ultimatum". An ultimatum is a final demand or condition that is presented as the last option by a pressure group to achieve their desired outcome. It is often used when other methods like lobbying or dialogue have failed to yield the desired result. The ultimatum usually comes with a threat of action or consequence if the condition is not met within the specified timeframe. For example, a pressure group advocating for better wages for workers may issue an ultimatum to the management of a company, demanding a pay raise for workers within a certain timeframe. If the company fails to meet the condition, the pressure group may resort to more aggressive tactics like strikes or protests.
Frage 13 Bericht
Which of the following was not responsible for the coalition between A. G and N. C. N. C.?
Antwortdetails
The option that was not responsible for the coalition between A. G and N. C. N. C. is: Akintola's faction which broke out of A. G. to form UPP. The coalition between A. G (Action Group) and N. C. N. C. (Northern People's Congress and National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons) was formed in the early 1960s, and it was primarily driven by political considerations. The Kano riot of 1953, which was one of the major factors that led to the formation of the coalition, was a violent clash between Northern and Southern Nigerians that resulted in many deaths and injuries. The riot created a sense of insecurity and unease among the political elites in Nigeria, and many saw the need for a political alliance that could bridge the gap between the North and the South. The contest for the federal election of 1964 was another factor that contributed to the coalition. The election was highly contested, and it was clear that no single party could win without forming an alliance with other parties. The A. G and N. C. N. C. saw the need to join forces to increase their chances of winning the election. The factional crisis in the A. G, which was caused by the rivalry between Awolowo's faction and Akintola's faction, also contributed to the formation of the coalition. Awolowo's faction wanted to get the N. P. C out of power, while Akintola's faction had a different opinion. This difference led to the split in the A. G, and it became clear that the party could not win the election without forming an alliance with other parties. In summary, the coalition between A. G and N. C. N. C. was primarily driven by political considerations, such as the need to bridge the gap between the North and the South, win the federal election of 1964, and resolve the factional crisis in the A. G. The formation of the UPP by Akintola's faction, therefore, was not a factor that contributed to the coalition.

This policy was based on the belief that African nations should work together to achieve economic, political, and social progress, and that Nigeria had a responsibility to help lead this effort as a newly independent African country.
Frage 15 Bericht
Opinion sampling maybe necessary for the following reasons except________
Antwortdetails
Opinion sampling may be necessary for various reasons such as aggregating popular thinking on a subject matter, preparing public expenditure, and evaluating political strength. However, it is not necessary to inspire public reasoning on population census. Opinion sampling is a method used to collect opinions from a sample of people to estimate the opinions of a larger population. It is used in various fields, including market research, politics, and social science research. Aggregating popular thinking on a subject matter is important for making informed decisions that align with the majority's views. Opinion sampling helps to collect and analyze data to reveal trends and patterns in people's thoughts and beliefs. Preparing public expenditure is another area where opinion sampling is necessary. Governments and organizations need to know what the public thinks about specific policies, budgets, and projects. This feedback helps them make decisions that reflect the needs and wants of the people they serve. Similarly, political parties often use opinion sampling to evaluate their political strength. This helps them understand the public's perception of their policies and how they can improve their chances of winning elections. However, inspiring public reasoning on population census does not require opinion sampling. Instead, this involves educating people on the importance of participating in a census and providing accurate information about their demographics.
Frage 16 Bericht
In a democratic system _______
Antwortdetails
In a democratic system, the people have the power to choose their leaders and the policies that govern them. This is typically done through free and fair elections, where each person gets one vote, and the candidate or policy with the most votes wins. This is known as majority vote. However, in a true democracy, it's also important to protect the rights of minorities and ensure that legal sovereignty is not unquestionable. This means that even if the majority of people support a certain policy or candidate, it cannot violate the fundamental rights of individuals or groups. The use of an electoral college is not always necessary in a democratic system, as it depends on the specific rules and processes of each country. Some countries use direct elections, where the person with the most votes wins, while others use a system of delegates or representatives to select their leaders. Finally, while the majority vote is the most common way of making decisions in a democratic system, it's also important to ensure that the rights and interests of minorities are not ignored. This can be achieved through various means, such as protecting individual rights, promoting dialogue and compromise, and creating systems of checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power.

Frage 22 Bericht
The dwindling and market falls in oil prices are prime indicators for Nigeria politico-economic consideration for________
Antwortdetails
The dwindling and market falls in oil prices are prime indicators for Nigeria's politico-economic consideration for diversification. This means that Nigeria is looking to move away from relying solely on oil as its main source of income and looking to develop other industries and sectors that can contribute to the country's economy. This is important because relying solely on oil can be risky, as the price of oil is often affected by global market forces and can fall suddenly, leading to economic instability. By diversifying its economy, Nigeria can reduce its dependence on oil and become more resilient to economic shocks.

Frage 24 Bericht
The primary essence of a public corporation is__________
Antwortdetails
The primary essence of a public corporation is public utility. A public corporation is a legal entity that is created by the government to perform a specific public function. The primary purpose of a public corporation is to provide essential services to the public, such as transportation, water supply, and electricity, among others. These services are necessary for the well-being of the general public, and as such, the public corporation is created to ensure that they are efficiently and effectively provided. While a public corporation may generate revenue and make a profit, the main focus is on providing public services rather than maximizing profits. As a result, a public corporation is subject to more regulation and oversight than a private corporation, as it is accountable to the public and the government. In summary, the primary essence of a public corporation is public utility, as it is created by the government to provide essential services to the public rather than to maximize profits or formulate government policies or resolve administrative disputes.

Antwortdetails
The solidarity for self-governance system and liberty of Africans demonstrated by Africans and Non-Africans in diaspora is termed Pan-Africanism.

Pan-Africanism has taken many forms over the years, from cultural and artistic expressions to political and economic cooperation. Its goals have included the establishment of independent African states, the promotion of African unity, the advancement of economic and social development in Africa, and the elimination of racism and discrimination against people of African descent worldwide.

Antwortdetails
The fact that the office of the Chairman is rotational in ECOWAS makes it a perfect example of a collegiate system. In a collegiate system, decision-making power is shared among a group of individuals, rather than being held by a single leader. In the case of ECOWAS, the rotating chairmanship allows for equal representation and decision-making power among the member countries, ensuring that no one country has a dominant or controlling role in the organization. This structure helps to promote cooperation and collaboration among the member countries and supports the overall goal of regional integration and economic cooperation.

Antwortdetails
The form of government that has the slogan of 'ruling of the best' is Aristocracy. Aristocracy is a type of government where a small group of privileged individuals hold power, typically based on their wealth, social status, or intelligence. The term "aristocracy" comes from the Greek words "aristos," which means "best," and "kratos," which means "rule." The idea behind aristocracy is that those who are deemed to be the best and most capable individuals should be the ones to lead the government and make decisions on behalf of the people. This is in contrast to democracy, where power is held by the people as a whole, and decisions are made through a process of popular vote.
