Antwortdetails
An electoral system in which the winner must secure more than 50% of the vote is described as an absolute majority system. This means that in order to win, a candidate must receive more than half of the total votes cast in the election. If no candidate receives an absolute majority, a second round of voting may be held between the two candidates with the highest number of votes in order to determine a winner. This system is designed to ensure that the candidate who is elected has the support of a majority of voters, rather than just a plurality of votes.

Antwortdetails
The oversight function is performed by the legislature. This means that the responsibility for checking and monitoring the actions of the executive branch of government, such as the President or Prime Minister, is the duty of the legislative branch, which is typically composed of elected representatives. The oversight function helps to ensure that the executive branch is acting in accordance with the law and in the best interests of the citizens. This includes monitoring the allocation of funds, the implementation of policies, and the conduct of government officials. The legislative branch can use a variety of tools to carry out its oversight function, including holding hearings, conducting investigations, and requesting information and reports from the executive branch. Ultimately, the oversight function serves as a crucial check and balance on the power of the executive branch, helping to maintain the democratic principles of transparency and accountability.
Frage 9 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.
Frage 10 Bericht
A major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is
Antwortdetails
The major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is the mass retrenchment of labor. Privatization involves the transfer of ownership and control of state-owned enterprises to private individuals or companies. In Nigeria, privatization led to the sale of many state-owned enterprises, such as refineries, steel plants, and telecommunications companies, to private investors. As private investors take over these companies, they often make changes to increase efficiency and profitability, which can include downsizing the workforce. This can result in the mass retrenchment of labor, where many workers lose their jobs. This has been a major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria, and it has had a significant impact on the Nigerian labor market. The mass retrenchment of labor has led to a decrease in the standard of living for many Nigerians, as unemployment rates have risen and many families struggle to make ends meet. Additionally, it has had a negative impact on the Nigerian economy, as the loss of income and purchasing power for many workers has led to a decrease in consumer spending, which can slow down economic growth. In summary, the privatization exercise in Nigeria has led to the mass retrenchment of labor, which has had significant social and economic consequences for the country.

Frage 12 Bericht
A major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is
Antwortdetails
A major consequence of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is the mass retrenchment of labour. Privatization refers to the transfer of ownership and control of government-owned enterprises to private individuals or companies. In Nigeria, the privatization exercise began in the 1980s but was intensified in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the aim of improving the efficiency and competitiveness of state-owned enterprises. However, one of the consequences of the privatization exercise was the mass retrenchment of workers in the affected enterprises. This was because the new owners of the privatized companies often saw the need to cut costs and improve efficiency, and one way to do this was to reduce the workforce. The retrenchment exercise affected thousands of workers in various sectors, including telecommunications, banking, and manufacturing. This led to a significant increase in the rate of unemployment in the country and a decline in the standard of living for many families. While privatization may have some benefits, such as improving the efficiency of state-owned enterprises, it is important to consider the social consequences, such as the impact on workers and their families, and to put measures in place to mitigate these consequences.

The policy of assimilation was implemented in various forms throughout the French colonial empire and had a lasting impact on the cultures and identities of the people who lived under French rule.

Frage 24 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.
Frage 25 Bericht

Antwortdetails
A constitution that requires specific statutory procedures for amendment is said to be "rigid". A rigid constitution is one that is difficult to amend or change. In such a constitution, there are specific procedures and requirements that must be followed in order to make changes to the document. The idea behind a rigid constitution is to ensure that the document is not easily altered or manipulated by those in power. This helps to provide a measure of stability and predictability in the governance of a country. However, it can also make it difficult to make necessary changes to the constitution in response to changing circumstances or the will of the people. In contrast, a flexible constitution is one that can be easily amended or changed through ordinary legislative procedures. This type of constitution allows for greater flexibility and adaptability in the governance of a country, but it can also make the document more vulnerable to political manipulation or abuse. Overall, the choice between a rigid or flexible constitution is a matter of balancing stability and predictability with adaptability and responsiveness to changing circumstances.

Frage 36 Bericht
The philosophy behind Nigerian federalism is
Antwortdetails
The philosophy behind Nigerian federalism is "unity in diversity." Nigeria is a diverse country with many different ethnic groups, cultures, and languages. Federalism was adopted as a way to manage this diversity by granting some level of autonomy to different regions of the country. The idea is that each region can govern itself to some extent, while still being a part of a united Nigeria. This allows for the expression of different cultures and the promotion of local development, while also maintaining national unity. The federal system in Nigeria has three levels of government: federal, state, and local. The federal government is responsible for national issues such as defense, foreign affairs, and currency. The state governments have some autonomy to govern their regions and manage local resources, while the local governments are responsible for providing basic services such as water, sanitation, and primary education. Overall, the philosophy of Nigerian federalism is to create a united and diverse country where different regions have some level of autonomy, while still being a part of a larger nation. This has been an ongoing process with its successes and challenges, as the country continues to strive for greater unity and development.
