PERIOD: The Meaning and Types of Citizenship

Citizenship refers to the relationship which exists between an individual and the country he lives. A citizen is expected to obey the law of the land and perform certain duties to his country. On the other hand, the country is also expected to protect the life and property of the citizen. The country is to provide basic amenities such as road, electricity, and pipe- borne water for the citizens.

Types of Citizenship

A. Citizenship by Birth: The following are the ways Nigerian citizenship can be acquired by birth.

1. Everyone born in Nigeria before 1 st October 1960.Such person is a Nigerian citizen if any of his parents or grandparents was born in Nigeria.

2. Everyone borninNigeria afterindependencei.e 1 st October 1960 whose parents or grandparents are citizens of Nigeria

B. Citizenship by  Naturalization : Naturalization is a way by which a foreigner is made citizen of the country he resides having satisfied certain conditions. A foreigner who has resided in Nigeria for more than 15 years may apply to the President of Nigeria for the grant of a certificate of naturalization.

C. Citizenship by Registration:   Citizenship by Registration is very common among foreign women who have married Nigerian men. For instance an American woman that has married a Nigerian can decide to apply for Nigerian citizenship.

D. Honorary Citizenship: This occurs when the government of a country specially honours an eminent foreigner by granting him the citizenship of the country. The usual conditions are normally waived.

CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF FALSE HOOD AND THEFT

1. Poor Educations of Youths: Young people who do not have access to education have the high tendency of engaging in crimes. Also, those who drop out of school due to government policy, family problems are likely to become criminals.

2. Bad Education Policy: An education system that is certificate oriented will always produce graduates always looking for jobs. Unemployed youths may likely devise illegal means of making money which may involve engaging in criminal activities such as 419 or smuggling.

3. Poor Parenting : Children from broken homes may not have enough informal training that can help them overcome some adolescent problems. If this is the case, such youths may likely turn to be criminals though intelligent and promising. Their intelligence would be used negatively to achieve their aims.

4. Weak Judicial System : Non-enforcement of laws and delayed punishment may encourage more youths to commit crimes. If those caught in robbery, rape and examination malpractices are promptly dealt with by the law, it will serve as deterrent for other youths.

5. Poverty: Some youths go into crime because they came from poor homes. In an effort to improve their family finances, they tend to engage in nefarious activities.

EFFECTS OF FALSEHOOD AND THEFT

1. Fear of Insecurity : As crime rate goes up in the society, the citizens tend to be more fearful thereby not being able to carry out normal economic activities in crime-prone areas or periods.

Topic: Citizenship

A citizen is someone who enjoys full political rights in a state and in return performs certain duties to the state. A citizen therefore is a legal member of a state.

Type of Citizenship

• Citizenship by birth: this is the situation whereby the parents of the person are

natives in the country or a person born by citizens of a country. For example; a child born by Nigerian parents automatically becomes a Nigerian by birth.

• Citizenship by registration or marriage: this occurs when Nigerian male marries for example a Briton (a British) woman. The woman automatically becomes a citizen of Nigerian through registration of marriage.
• Citizenship by nationalization: this happens when an alien or a foreigner becomes a

citizen of another country having fulfilled and satisfied the countries conditions to

acquire the citizen of that country as laid down by the constitution of that country. It is a process by which an individual voluntary changes his/her citizenship of a state to that of another in which he or she resides. Some of the conditions that an alien of another country must fulfil are: as follow;

• Applicant must be an adult acceptable in the community.

Applicant must be of good character

Applicant must swear an oath of allegiance

*.  Applicant must be able and have been contributing to community and national development and growth.

• Applicant must have been residing in a particular community in that country for

specific period of time.

• Honorary citizenship: from time to time the government of a country have been

honouring distinguished or important person or eminent person with citizenship of that country. For example such icon figures in Nigeria like: Sir Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi

Azikwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo have been honoured with citizenship of other countries of the world.

• Citizenship by blood ties or decent: citizenship pf a country is also acquired through blood ties. This means that the, fact that a child was born in a particular

community in the country does not necessarily confer the status of the

citizenship on that person.

Topic: Process of becoming a citizenship of a country

Apart from the means of acquiring citizenship of a country explained above, there are also processes one needs to undertake before becoming a citizen of a country. This process involves conditions that one must satisfy before one can be granted citizenship. Below are the processes involved in acquiring the citizenship of a country.

1.A person seeking the citizenship of a country must have attained the statutory age specified in the constitution.

2.The person must show willingness to live or stay in the country.

3.The person must have resided in the country for a number of years specified in the constitution.

4.The person must have made useful contributions to the social, economic and cultural growth and development of the country.

5.The person must be of good character.

WEEK FOUR: Right and Duties of Citizens.

Rights are privileges or entitlements which the law permits for individual as a citizen of that country.

Rights of citizens include the following:

• Right to life
• Right to freedom of movement
• Right to fair hearing
• Right to education
• Right to vote and to be voted for.

Duties are those things and actions which the citizens are expected to do for their country.

• Payment of taxes, rents and rates
• Obedience to the laws of the country
• Voting during elections
• Defence of their fatherland

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF CITIZEN

1.Rights are what people must enjoy in the country. Duties on the other hand are the compulsory things peoples must do for their country.

2.Rights are given to us by the constitution, whereas, duties are those things expected of the people by the constitution

3.Right are enjoyed by citizens irrespective of sex, religion, tribe and social status. Duties on the other hand are expectations from certain categories of individuals in the society.

4.Our basic freedom is protected by rights; whereas duties are those actions we must perform to enjoy our freedom.

Importance Of citizens’ rights and duties

Here are some of the importance of the rights and duties of citizens

i.Citizens’ rights and duties promote peace and stability in the society.

ii.Citizens’ rights and duties ensure social control for proper organization of the society.

iii.Citizens’ rights and duties encourage due process among individuals and the society at large.

iv.Citizens’ rights and duties encourage discipline by promoting good behavior and manners.

v.Citizens’ rights and duties ensure obedience to the law.

a.Civic (individual) rights

b.Economic rights

c.Political rights

What is CULTISM? Cultism is the membership and operation of cults. It involves secret activities where the members behave in ways that are not acceptable by society. There are many cults in Nigeria especially in tertiary educational institutions and some secondary schools making life unbearable for those who go about their affairs peacefully. Their operations are secret and the locations in which they hold their meetings are solely known to their members only. Most times, they operate at night.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTISM:

• Members wear expensive clothes. They are bold and daring and want to enforce their will on people.
• New members are initiated secretly and both old and new members perform rituals and swear to oaths of secrecy.
• They assist one another in all situations and promote members’ interests not minding reason, justice, fairness, legitimacy and appropriateness.
• They have signs, symbols and passwords which are meant to be used and recognized by members only.
• They look kind, quiet and generous but they are deceitful and hypocritical and can become violent and deadly at any time.
• They carry different types of arms which can be tucked away in their pockets or bags.
• They drink alcohol and other hard drugs excessively.
• They are womanizers.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CULTS

There are many cults in higher institutions and they are said to be more than 40 with different symbols. Examples of some of them are:

• Blood Suckers
• Vikings Fraternity
• Eiye Confraternity
• Green scorpion
• Trojan Horse

Some of them are gender-based meaning that they are strictly for female membership. Examples are:

• Daughters of Jezebel
• Temple of Eden
• Hot Brassiere

ORIGIN OF CULT GROUPS

Cults have existed in Africa for a long time. The Ogboni Fraternity was prominent among the Yoruba people. It is a group of elderly men whose major duty was to check the excesses of the traditional rulers to ensure that they do not overdo things. Some other cults have existed in Nigeria like Ekine, Ekpe, Okonko and others. Cultism can be traced to the Pyrates Confraternity formed at the University of Ibadan in 1952 by some male students. Their objectives include:

• To compel the colonial government to stop imposing foreign culture on Nigeria ns, so that Nigeria ns could be themselves.
• To work for Nigeria ‘s independence.
• To correct the ills of the society by fighting corruption, indiscipline and tribalism.
• To encourage humanitarian activities such as blood donation and collection of money for charity.

However, some members behaved badly due to the nature of the confraternity and so were expelled from the group. They formed their own groups which became rival groups to the Pyrates. From 1980 till date, campus cults have continued to grow in number .

WHY STUDENTS JOIN CULTS

• Family background: Some parents who were former campus cult members have their children attracted to cults. Some parents also encourage their children to join some of the cults that they like.
• Economic hardship: Many parents fail to provide for their children in the higher institutions as a result of poverty. Some of the parents are also too busy to attend to their children for one reason or the other. Cult members offer their members financial assistance and such offers are attractive to indigent members.
• Misconception:  The older members of the cults give prospective members fake reasons that undue advantage will be given to them over the other students in academics, social life and abundance of alcohol, drinks and the likes.
• Peer pressure: Some people whose friends are cult members convince their friends to become members too.
• Curiosity: A lot of information have been disseminated about cults and so many people become cult members in order to confirm what they have heard.
• Lack of self-confidence: People who have lacked affection and have unfulfilled desires may join cults in order to secure affection, popularity, protection and gain strong support from members.

CONSEQUENCES OF CULTISM

• Cultism promotes violence. They attack other cult members to gain supremacy with arms and ammunitions.
• They are potential murderers because they kill members of rival groups or anybody they feel is against them.
• They break law and order as they disregard school regulations and enact their own laws.
• Their activities disrupt school activities.
• They distort the values and practices of society like murder, immorality, violence , crime, drunkenness, drug abuse and so on.

GOVERNMENT ‘S POSITION ON CULTISM

 In order to curb cultism in our institutions of learning, government has done the following things:

• Fresh intakes are made to sign a matriculation oath, pledging not to belong to any cult while in school and to be of good conduct.
• Any student found to be in any cult would be expelled from the school

SOCIETY’S POSITION ON CULTISM

• Society at large frowns at cultism. People avoid those who are identified as cult members.
• Responsible parents disallow their children and wards from associating with cult members.
• Cult members are always accused of crime or theft in the neighbourhood, whether they are guilty of it or not.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

• Parents should pay attention to their children’s upbringing and educate them on the acceptable ways of life.
• Students should be encouraged to join religious groups and develop the fear of God in them.
• Sports and recreational facilities should be provided in schools to engage the students during their leisure time.
• Regular seminars should be organized in schools to enlighten students on the dangers of cultism.
• Voluntary organizations should make their programmes more interesting to attract membership.
• There should be effective counseling units in schools that can assist initiated members to even denounce their membership and also stop intending members from registering.
• Institutions of learning should enact laws against cultism and enforce the laws.
• Religious groups should organise programmes against cult practices.

What is Capitalist Democracy? Read Civic Education SS 2 by R.W. Okunloye (Page 7.)

Capitalist democracy is the form of government in which the powers of the government flow from the citizens to the governors and the running of the government is based on the consent of the electorate.

Capitalist democracy is a form of government organized in accordance with the principles of popular sovereignty, political equality, popular consultation and majority rule.

MAJOR FEATURES OF CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY

• Periodic elections: Elections are expected to be held periodically and made open, free and fair. It must be made open to all eligible candidates.
• Popular sovereignty: This means that basic governmental decision- making power is vested in all members of the community and not in any particular person or ruling class.
• Political equity: This means that each member of the community or the state has the same opportunity as every other person to participate in the nation’s political decision-process.
• Popular consultation: Leaders should implement only popularly accepted policies and not selfish wishes. That is, government should seek and get what public policies the people would like to be adopted and adapted.
• Freedom of association and groups: There must be existence of more than one political party in a democratic setting within which alternative views can be promoted, and choices made available for the electorates to pick from during elections.

FACTORS THAT IMPEDE THE SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY IN LESS DEVELOPED STATES

Some factor s have been seen to be affecting the smooth running of democracy. They are:

• High level of illiteracy: This means that the majority of the people are ignorant of what role they should play and also the roles the government should play in the running of the government and how to influence government decisions.
• High level of poverty: Democracy demands high level of economic independence on the part of the people. Poverty breeds election rigging, buying of votes and people accepting to serve as thugs during election periods to molest political opponents.
• Military dictatorship: Long military rule and its attendant problem s distort democracy. Most times, there are cases of inequitable distribution of wealth, a weak press, lack of judicial interdependence and corruption.

POLITICAL PARTIES IN CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY

Political parties are formed to be important instruments for the smooth running of a state. A political party is an association of groups or individuals who have agreed to come together under certain national issues (manifesto) which they offer in competition with other groups, with the terminal aim of winning and controlling the machinery of the state.

METHODS OF POLITICAL COMPETITION

• Political campaign: This is one way political parties in a political system sell their manifestoes to the electorate. It also gives opportunity to the people to meet with their future leaders and raise questions on issues not clearly stated. In some cases, campaigns are mounted on radio and television and sometimes by the use of print media.
• Organising debates and conferences: Political parties sometimes arrange different fora or conferences during which they are able to sell their manifestoes, ideologies and candidates to the people.
• Provision of material needs of the people: It is common when elections are approaching to see political parties donating food, water, stoves and other essential needs of the people. This is done to get more people attracted to the party.
• Assisting the electorate on the day of election: On the day of elections, it is common to see vehicles donated by political parties to convey voters to the points of elections or polling booths.
