Antwortdetails
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.

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.

Antwortdetails
One of the legacies of pre-colonial Nigeria that was destroyed by the British was the indigenous culture of the people. The British colonial authorities often imposed their own cultural values and practices on the people of Nigeria, leading to the erosion and suppression of traditional customs, beliefs, and practices. This had a significant impact on the cultural identity of the Nigerian people, as well as their social, economic, and political institutions. While the other options listed may also have been impacted by colonialism, the destruction of indigenous culture had far-reaching consequences that continue to be felt today.
Frage 11 Bericht
Nigeria is a major financier of which of the following?
Antwortdetails
Nigeria is a major financier of the African Development Bank (AfDB). The African Development Bank is a regional development bank that provides financing and other forms of support to African countries. It was established in 1964 and has its headquarters in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. The AfDB is dedicated to promoting economic and social development in Africa and reducing poverty on the continent. Nigeria is one of the founding members of the AfDB and has been a significant contributor to the bank's resources since its inception. As of 2021, Nigeria is the AfDB's largest shareholder, with a 9.3% stake in the bank. This means that Nigeria has a significant say in the bank's decision-making processes, including the allocation of funds for development projects in Africa. While Nigeria is also a member of other international organizations like the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the United Nations Organization (UNO), and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), it is not a major financier of these organizations in the same way that it is of the AfDB.

Antwortdetails
There are several factors that can hinder the operations of a pressure group. 1. Poor leadership: If the leaders of the pressure group are not effective or lack the necessary skills, it can negatively impact the group's ability to achieve its goals. 2. General observation: The general public's view of the pressure group can also play a role in its success. If the group is not seen as credible or relevant, it may struggle to gain support and influence decisions. 3. Membership drive: The size and dedication of the group's membership base can also impact its effectiveness. If the group has a small membership base or if members are not actively engaged, it may struggle to exert significant pressure on decision-makers. 4. Spiritual forces: While spiritual beliefs and practices can provide motivation and support for individuals, they are unlikely to have a direct impact on the operations of a pressure group.

Antwortdetails
The absence of an independent judiciary is a feature of an oligarchy system. An oligarchy is a form of government in which power is held by a small group of people, often the wealthy elite. In such a system, the judiciary is not independent, meaning that it is not separate from the other branches of government and is not impartial. Instead, it may be influenced by the powerful individuals who control the government, making it more difficult to ensure that justice is served impartially. This can lead to unequal treatment under the law and a lack of accountability for those in power.

Frage 25 Bericht
A constitution is said to be rigid if it
Antwortdetails
A constitution is said to be rigid if it has cumbersome provision for its amendment. A rigid constitution is one that is difficult to amend or change. This may be because the constitution contains complex or stringent amendment procedures, such as requiring a supermajority or multi-stage ratification process, which make it difficult to alter the constitution's provisions. Rigid constitutions are often contrasted with flexible or elastic constitutions, which can be more easily amended or changed. The rigidity or flexibility of a constitution can have significant implications for a country's political system and its ability to adapt to changing circumstances over time. It is important to note that a rigid constitution is not one that can only be interpreted by the military, nor is it a result of difficult authors. Additionally, the power to amend a constitution is not solely the prerogative of the executive, but is often a shared responsibility of the different branches of government or the people themselves.

Frage 36 Bericht
Unitary system of government is best applicable to a/an
Antwortdetails
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.
Frage 37 Bericht
In a federal system of government, legislative items constitutionally reserved for only the central government fall under the _________ list.
Antwortdetails
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.

Antwortdetails
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.
