Bayanin Amsa
Privatization and commercialization of public enterprises in Nigeria will lead to further entrenchment of capitalism. This is because the aim of privatization and commercialization is to transfer the ownership and control of public enterprises from the government to private individuals or organizations. In a capitalist system, the means of production, distribution, and exchange are owned and controlled by private individuals and organizations for profit-making. Therefore, privatization and commercialization will lead to a greater role of the private sector in the economy and a reduced role for the government.

Which of the following best represents duties and obligations of government?
Bayanin Amsa
The best representation of duties and obligations of government is the provision of public utilities. Public utilities refer to essential services such as electricity, water, transportation, and communication that are needed by citizens for their daily lives. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure that these utilities are provided and maintained for the benefit of the citizens. This is a fundamental duty of government, as it directly impacts the quality of life of citizens and the overall development of the society. While the other options listed may also be important duties of government, the provision of public utilities is a critical obligation that must be prioritized.

What is the major distinguishing characteristic between flexible and rigid constitutions?
Bayanin Amsa
The major distinguishing characteristic between flexible and rigid constitutions is the amendment procedure. A flexible constitution is easily amended and changed through the ordinary legislative process, while a rigid constitution requires a more difficult and elaborate process for amendments. In a rigid constitution, the amendment process is often more difficult, requiring a special majority or a referendum to make changes to the constitution. This is meant to ensure that fundamental principles and values of the constitution are not easily changed, and that they reflect the will of the people. Conversely, a flexible constitution can be easily changed by the legislative process, which may be desirable for some countries that need to adapt to changing circumstances quickly.

Bayanin Amsa
The major negative impact of military intervention in Nigerian politics is the politicization of the military. This means that military personnel, who are supposed to be apolitical and neutral in political matters, are drawn into political activities, leading to the erosion of professionalism and discipline within the military. This, in turn, leads to the use of the military to suppress dissent and opposition, resulting in human rights violations and abuse of power. Additionally, military intervention often leads to the disruption of democratic processes and institutions, as well as the misallocation of resources towards military expenditures, thereby hampering national development.

Accountability is essential to promote transparency, prevent corruption, and ensure that public officials act in the public interest.

Bayanin Amsa
Federalism is a system of government in which power is shared between the central (federal) government and the constituent units, such as states or provinces. In Nigeria, one major constraint on the smooth operation of federalism is the lack of an acceptable revenue allocation formula. This refers to the issue of how revenue from natural resources and taxes is shared among the federal, state, and local governments. The current formula has been a source of contention and has led to conflicts between the federal and state governments, as well as between different regions of the country. This has affected the ability of the federal system to promote equitable development and good governance across the country.

Bayanin Amsa
The principle brought to an end by his constituency is known as "recall." Recall is a political mechanism that allows voters to remove an elected official from office before their term is over. It is usually initiated by a petition from the voters in the elected official's constituency. Once a sufficient number of signatures are gathered, a recall election is held, in which voters decide whether or not to remove the official from office. Recall is intended to give voters more control over their elected representatives and hold them accountable for their actions while in office.

The act of bringing a legislative session to an end only for business to continue later is called "adjournment." This means that the members of the legislative body are taking a break from their session and plan to resume the discussion or debate at a later time or date. The decision to adjourn can be made by the presiding officer or by a vote of the members. It is different from prorogation, which is the formal end of a parliamentary session.

Bayanin Amsa
One of the main functions of a political party is interest aggregation. This means bringing together diverse opinions and interests of different individuals or groups and presenting them in a coherent manner. Political parties play a key role in the political process by presenting a platform of policies and programs to the electorate. They also mobilize voters and provide a channel for citizens to participate in the political process by joining the party, attending meetings, and volunteering for political campaigns. Political parties act as a bridge between the government and the people by presenting citizens' concerns and demands to the government, and also by explaining government policies and programs to the people. In summary, the main function of a political party is to aggregate the interests of its members and supporters and present them to the electorate in a coherent and appealing manner.

Which of the following violates the principle of the rule of law?
Bayanin Amsa
The option that violates the principle of the rule of law is "arbitrariness of government policies". The rule of law is a fundamental principle of democracy, which implies that everyone, including the government, is subject to the law. This means that the government should be guided by clear and predictable rules, and its actions must be based on those rules. When the government acts arbitrarily, it disregards the rules and undermines the principle of the rule of law. It is important for governments to act within the limits of the law and not arbitrarily, to ensure that citizens' rights are protected and justice is served.

Nationalist activities were earlier in British than in French West Africa because the French administrative policies did not allow for political agitation. In contrast to the British colonial policy, which allowed for some level of political participation and gave room for the emergence of educated elites who spearheaded nationalist movements, the French had a more centralized and authoritarian approach to governance. This made it difficult for political opposition to thrive, and hence delayed the emergence of nationalist movements in French West Africa.

The major feature that differentiated the 1963 and 1979 constitutions was that in the former, ministers were appointed from the national assembly, while in the latter, ministers were appointed from outside the national assembly. This means that in the 1963 constitution, members of the national assembly could also serve as ministers, while in the 1979 constitution, ministers had to be chosen from outside the assembly. This was seen as a way to promote professionalism and reduce the influence of the legislature over the executive branch of government.

The essence of checks and balances is to enhance the functioning of government and prevent arbitrary use of power. The system of checks and balances is a principle of governance that allows each branch of government to have some control over the other branches, thereby preventing any one branch from gaining too much power. This is important because it helps to prevent abuse of power by ensuring that no one person or group has too much authority. By having separate and distinct branches of government that are able to keep each other in check, it helps to ensure that the government is functioning in the best interests of the people it serves.

Which of the following reasons best explains why Nigeria during the first republic, could not pursue an independent foreign policy?
Bayanin Amsa
During Nigeria's first republic, Nigeria was unable to pursue an independent foreign policy because of its economic dependence on Western countries. Nigeria's economy was heavily dependent on the export of primary products such as crude oil, cocoa, and groundnut, which were mainly exported to Western countries. As a result, the Nigerian government was unable to take any decision that would have been detrimental to the economic interest of Western countries, which Nigeria relied upon for its foreign exchange earnings. Therefore, Nigeria's foreign policy was greatly influenced by its economic interests and this prevented it from pursuing an independent foreign policy.

The first minority state to be created in the Nigerian federation was the Mid-Western Region. The region was created in 1963 from the Western Region and it was the first time a state was created solely on the basis of minority status. The Mid-Western Region was created in response to the agitation of minority ethnic groups in the Western Region who felt marginalized by the dominant Yoruba ethnic group. The creation of the Mid-Western Region was seen as a way of addressing the concerns of minority groups and promoting national unity.

The foreign affairs minister who advocated the concept of "medium powers" was Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi. In the 1980s, Akinyemi, who served as Nigeria's Minister of External Affairs, argued that middle powers like Nigeria could play a significant role in global affairs by pursuing a foreign policy that prioritizes regional stability and economic development. He believed that Nigeria could help to lead the African continent by example and that African countries could become strong regional powers that could work together to address global issues. Akinyemi's concept of medium powers emphasized the need for smaller countries to find their voice in global affairs and contribute to shaping the international agenda.

The power of a head of state to dissolve the legislature and order a general election is usually associated with the parliamentary system of government. In a parliamentary system, the head of state (usually a ceremonial figurehead) is separate from the head of government (the prime minister or premier), who is responsible for leading the legislature and forming a government. The head of government can request that the head of state dissolve the legislature and call for a general election, which is a way to refresh the political system and give the electorate an opportunity to select new representatives.

The term "comprador bourgeoisie" has been used by scholars to describe Nigerian businessmen who represent foreign interests. The term originally comes from the Chinese context, where it was used to describe a class of merchants who acted as intermediaries between the colonial powers and the Chinese economy. In the Nigerian context, it refers to a similar class of businessmen who act as intermediaries between foreign investors and the Nigerian economy.

The major difference between a state and a nation is that a nation presupposes a homogenous population. A state is a politically organized community living under a single system of government while a nation refers to a group of people who share a common culture, language, history, or ethnicity. A nation-state is a country where the majority of the people share a common national identity. However, a state may be made up of people from different nations or ethnic groups, while a nation may span across multiple states. Thus, the key distinguishing feature of a nation is the homogeneity of its population.

Ministries and public corporations are both entities within the public sector, but there is a fundamental difference between them. Ministries are government departments established to carry out specific functions of government. They are not established with specific statutes and are run by rules and regulations guiding the public service. On the other hand, public corporations are legal entities created by an Act of Parliament or a Decree. They are established with specific statutes and operate independently of the government in carrying out commercial or business activities. Therefore, the correct option is: "not established with specific statutes; public corporations are."

An electoral process in which candidates for elective offices are selected by party members is known as a primary election. In a primary election, members of a political party choose their preferred candidate to represent the party in the general election. This is different from a direct election, where the electorate chooses their preferred candidate from a pool of candidates representing different political parties. An electoral college, on the other hand, is a group of people chosen by the political party to vote for the candidate that they think best represents the interests of the party. Preferential voting, also known as ranked choice voting, is a system where voters rank the candidates in order of preference, and the candidate with the most votes is declared the winner.
