    The most appropriate form of government for a homogenous society is a:

    • Unitary System

    • One-party system

    • Totalitarian system

    • Socialist system

    Correct Answer
    A. Unitary System
    Explanation
    A unitary system of government is the most appropriate form for a homogenous society because it centralizes power and decision-making in a single governing body. In a homogenous society where there is a high degree of cultural, linguistic, and ethnic similarity among the population, a unitary system ensures that policies and laws are implemented uniformly across the entire country. This form of government promotes national unity and cohesion, as it avoids potential conflicts and divisions that may arise from regional or ethnic autonomy. Additionally, a unitary system allows for efficient governance and effective implementation of policies, as power is not fragmented among multiple governing bodies.

    • Politicking

    Correct Answer
    A. Gerrymandering
    Explanation
    Gerrymandering refers to the deliberate manipulation of electoral boundaries in order to gain an advantage in future elections. This practice involves redrawing district lines to favor a particular political party or group.

Gerrymandering is often criticized for undermining the principles of fair representation and democracy, as it allows politicians to choose their voters rather than the other way around.

    Which of the following is not neccesarily the feature of a Nation?

    • Government

    • Population

    • Sovereignty

    • Territory

    Correct Answer
    A. Sovereignty
    Explanation
    Sovereignty is not necessarily a feature of a nation because there are non-sovereign nations that exist. Sovereignty refers to the supreme authority of a state to govern itself without interference from external sources. While most nations possess sovereignty, there are instances where nations may have limited or no sovereignty, such as in the case of dependent territories or regions under occupation. Therefore, sovereignty is not an essential or universal feature of a nation.

    1976 Local government elections in Nigeria was based on

    • Multi-party system

    • Two-party-system

    • Zero-party system

    • One-party system

    Correct Answer
    A. Zero-party system
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Zero-party system." This means that the local government elections in Nigeria in 1976 were not based on any party system. It suggests that political parties did not play a significant role in these elections, and candidates may have run as independents or without any formal party affiliation. This could have been due to various reasons, such as a lack of established political parties or a deliberate decision to not involve parties in the local government elections.
