COMPARE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF NIGERIA AND UK, STATING THEIR SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
Introduction
In Nigeria, there have been series of government policies and programes especially in the area of alleviating poverty among the people, but the result has been so poor due to government policy inconsistencies. No government, be it state or federal level, comes without introducing and leaving behind one form of poverty alleviation or reduction programe meant to reduce the level of poverty and inequality, give hope and succor to the poor or move towards some sort of wealth creation. Strategies, plans and policies have been formulated and executed over the years. Almost every state that has emerged in today’s global epoch is however as a consequence of the dimensions and reforms imposed by not only early European colonialist outreach but the Peace treaty of Westphalia. This treaty was signed in 1648 and is regarded for being responsible of not only giving a new definition to the concept of sovereignty amongst the global collective but the adjustment of intercontinental boarders. It is as a result of this veracity that in this essay I will be providing an in depth comparison between the states of Britain and Nigeria. I will then secondly discuss the comparison area’s upon which a state is classified in accordance to McCormick. I will then thirdly conclude this symposium with an analysis of current affairs issues regarding one of the two case studies mentioned above.

Similarities between Britain and Nigeria political systems
The similarities between these two states does however consist the fact that, both the states of Britain and Nigeria have a strong multi-nationalism, with regard to not only its populace but cabinet (“Compare and Contrast”, 2018).Britain consists of the English, Scotish, Walsh and North Irish, whilst comparatively Nigeria consists of the Yoruba, Igbo, HaUK and Fulani (“Compare and Contrast”, 2018). Furthermore, intermediate facilities in both republics have always been relatively, free with little government control (“Compare United Kingdom To Nigeria”, 2018).Additionally, both the states of Nigeria and Britain are capitalist.

QUESTION: SUMMARY OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF USA AND NIGERIA
POLITICAL SYSTEM OF FRANCE
Four of France's five Republics have had presidents as their heads of state, making the French presidency the oldest presidency in Europe still to exist in some form. However, in each of the Republics' constitutions, the President's powers, functions and duties - and his relation with French governments - have differed.
The head of the government is the Prime Minister who is nominated by the majority party in the National Assembly and appointed by the President for an indefinite term. The Prime Minister recommends Ministers to the President, sets out Ministers' duties and responsibilities, and manages the daily affairs of government. He issues decrees and is responsible for national defence.
The lower house in the French political system is the National Assembly. This has 577 seats representing single-member constituencies. The 2.5 million French people living abroad have the opportunity to vote in one of 11 constituencies grouping areas of the world together.
The upper house in the French political system is the Senate. This currently has a total of 348 seats (the number depends on population changes): 323 representing mainland France, 13 representing French overseas territories, and 12 representing French nationals abroad. Many French Senators are also high-level local officials.
France is a multi-party political system which means that often no one party wins a majority of seats in the Assembly. Indeed the major parties themselves are often very fractional with shifting personal allegiances.
France uses a civil legal system; that is, law arises primarily from written statutes; judges are not to make law, but merely to interpret it. The basic principles of the rule of law were laid down in the Napoleonic Code.
Although there have been recent moves to decentralisation, France is still one of the most centralised major countries in Europe and the world. It is colloquially known as mille-feuille, after the puff pastry of many layers and lots of cream.
POLITICAL SYSTEM OF NIGERIA
The law of Nigeria is based on the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, and British common law (due to the long history of British colonial influence).
The president is elected through universal suffrage. He or she is both the chief of state and head of government, heading the Federal Executive Council, or cabinet.
The National Assembly of Nigeria has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives is presided over by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. 108 members are elected for four-year terms in 36 three-seat constituencies, which correspond to the country's 36 states. One member is selected in the single-seat constituency of the federal capital.
The judicial branch consists of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Court of Appeals, the High Courts, and other trial courts such as the Magistrates', Customary, Sharia and other specialized courts. The National Judicial Council serves as an independent executive body, insulating the judiciary from the executive arm of government.
Tribal, religious, and regional differences have hindered the formation of a truly national Nigerian political party in Nigeria. Before 1966, the major parties were the Northern People's Congress (NPC)

TOPIC: COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF UNITED KINGDOM AND NIGERIA. THEIR SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCE.
Meaning and Characteristics of Nigerian Politics
Political System Since colonial incursion and the attainment of political independence, Nigeria like other erstwhile colonial possessions have inculcated the Westminster-styled political system at independence “influenced tremulously by an elite class that projects the political culture which could make or mar democracy as a result of the political parties” (Aristotle, 2007). This means that the political parties become platforms on which the politicians actualize the authoritative allocation of values, often time the idiosyncrasies of these political elites form values which are inconsistent with the parent political-style copied, thus making the attainment of good governance impossible.
Political System of UK
The single most important fact in understanding the nature of the British political system is the fundamental continuity of that system. For almost 1,000 years, Britain has not been invaded or occupied for any length of time or over any substantial territory as the last successful invasion of England was in 1066 by the Normans. Is this true of any other country in the world? I can only think of Sweden.
Similarities
1. Both countries have strong multinationalism:In Britain: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
In Nigeria: Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa Fulani
2. Media in both Nigeria and Britain has almost always been relatively free, with very little government control.
Differences:
• Britain has a parliamentary System, Nigeria has a Presidential System.
• In Nigeria the President holds the majority of the power; in Britain, the Prime Minister holds a majority of the power.
• Nigeria contains a patron clientelist system called pre-bendalism, whereas Britain does not.
• Britain has an unwritten constitution and functions based on common law; Nigeria has a written constitution.
• Britain is a unitary state with political authority centralized in London. Nigeria is a federal presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President is both head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system.
• Nigeria is a rentier state.
• In Britain there is Nobless oblige: duty of the upper class to take responsibility for the welfare of the lower classes. Whereas in Nigeria there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, with the rich doing very little to help the poor.

QUESTION: COMPARE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF NIGERIA AND FRENCH OR FRANCE
Political System of France
France is a republic; the institutions of governance of France are defined by the Constitution, more specifically by the current constitution, being that of the Fifth Republic. The Constitution has been modified several times since the start of the Fifth Republic, most recently in July 2008, when the French "Congress" (A joint convention of the two chambers of Parliament) approved - by 1 vote over the 60% majority required - constitutional changes proposed by President Sarkozy.
The Fifth Republic: The fifth republic was established in 1958, and was largely the work of General de Gaulle - its first president, and Michel Debré his prime minister. It has been amended 17 times. Though the French constitution is parliamentary, it gives relatively extensive powers to the executive (President and Ministers) compared to other western democracies.
The executive branch:
The head of state and head of the executive is the President, elected by universal suffrage.
The President of France, as head of state and head of the executive, thus carries more power than leaders of most other European countries, where the two functions are separate (for example in the UK, the Monarch and the Prime minister, in Germany the President and the Chancellor.)
Political System of Nigeria
The federal government of Nigeria is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the Constitution of Nigeria in the National Assembly, the President, and the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, respectively.
Nigeria is a federal republic, with executive power exercised by the president. The president is the head of state, the head of government, and the head of a multi-party system. Nigerian politics takes place within a framework of a federal, presidential, representative democratic republic, in which executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is held by the real government and the two chambers of the legislature: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Together, the two chambers make up the law-making body in Nigeria, called the National Assembly, which serves as a check on the executive arm of government. The highest judiciary arm of government in Nigeria is the Supreme Court of Nigeria which was created after independence and also practices Baron de Montesquieu's theory of the separation of powers[1] based on the United States system and also practises checks and balances. The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Nigeria as "hybrid regime" in 2016.
Similarities
1. Both countries have strong multinationalism:
2. Media in both Nigeria and France has almost always been relatively free, with very little government control.
Differences:
1. France has a semi-presidential system of government where both a president and prime minister shares executive powers. , Nigeria has a Presidential System.
2. In Nigeria the President holds the majority of the power; in France, the Prime Minister holds a majority of the power.
3. Nigeria contains a patron clientelist system called pre-bendalism, whereas France does not.
4. France has an unwritten constitution and functions based on common law; Nigeria has a written constitution.
5. In France, there is Nobless oblige: duty of the upper class to take responsibility for the welfare of the lower classes. Whereas in Nigeria there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, with the rich doing very little to help the poor.

THE SIMILARITIES
Nigeria and USA has a lot of interesting similarities and contrasting ideas! Both countries have become federal republics as a result of some events in their history. Even though they have similar federal systems, they don't share similar economic growth. Let's compare and contrast Nigerian and American Federalism to know why.
Federalism Definition The federal system of government is represented by a situation where a country has one centralized government and state governments that has authority in their respective regions. The centralized government and state governments exercise power and constitutions which do not interfere with each other. The federation represents the division of powers between the central government and the state governments. Similarities between Nigerian and American Federalism
Even if these two countries are very different from each other – they share common features in their federal system. Let's take a look at the most obvious similarities.
1. Written Constitution Nigeria and the USA both have written a constitution. The constitutions of both countries are flexible which means they can be modified to meet the growing social and political demands of both countries.
2. Fundamental Human Rights. The USA constitutions provide freedom of cultural, educational and religious rights. The center of human rights for the USA is provided by The Bill of Rights. Nigerian constitution also provides the fundamental human rights of its citizens.
Conclusion

Therefore, Nigerian and American federal systems are a product of time and practicality for both nations. It's their way to survive and stay united in the geopolitical arena!

QUESTION: SUMMARY OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF UNITED KINGDOM AND NIGERIA
Political framework, the arrangement of formal legitimate establishments that comprise a "legislature" or an "express." This is the definition received by numerous investigations of the lawful or sacred courses of action of cutting edge political requests. Still more comprehensively characterized, the political framework is viewed as a lot of "procedures of association" or as a subsystem of the social framework collaborating with other nonpolitical subsystems, for example, the financial framework.
BRITAIN POLITICAL SYSTEM
The United Kingdom is a unitary state with devolution that is administered inside the system of a parliamentary majority rules system under a sacred government in which the ruler, at present Queen Elizabeth II, is the head of state while the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, as of now Theresa May, is the head of government. Administrative power is vested in the two councils of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the House of Commons and the House of Lords, just as in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland congregations. While alliance and minority governments have been an incidental element of parliamentary legislative issues, the first-past-the-post discretionary framework utilized for general races will in general keep up the predominance of these two gatherings, however every ha in the previous century depended upon an outsider, for example, the Liberal Democrats, to convey a working lion's share in Parliament.
Nigeria political system of government
The legal branch comprises of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Court of Appeals, the High Courts, and other preliminary courts, for example, the Magistrates', Customary, Sharia and other specific courts.[8] The National Judicial Council fills in as a free official body, protecting the legal executive from the official arm of government.[9] The Supreme Court is directed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria and thirteen partner judges, who are delegated by the President of Nigeria on the suggestion of the National Judicial Council. The government of Nigeria is made out of three unmistakable branches: administrative, official, and legal, whose powers are vested by the Constitution of Nigeria in the National Assembly, the President, and the bureaucratic courts, including the Supreme Court, individually.
Compare the political system of Britain and Nigeria.
While the world is distinctly watching occasions in Nigeria in the keep running up to the races, particularly against the setting of Boko Haram's danger, the British race is likewise over the plan of the world request.It was accordingly nothing unexpected that Nigeria worked the British style parliamentary government while training, wellbeing, economy was kept running as near what was gotten in the UKThe UK Prime Minister a week ago Thursday at long last pursued Buhari's stride, he proclaimed his non-support in multi-dates, one-on-one TV banters as arranged.
In any case, albeit British impact and authority over what might later move toward becoming Nigeria and Africa's most crowded area, became over the nineteenth century there are anyway a lot of contrasts between the political frameworks of these two districts Differences between Britain and Nigeria’s political systems Britain comprises of a parliamentary system whilst comparatively Nigeria consists of a presidential system.

QUESTION: SUMMARY OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF UNITED KINGDOM AND NIGERIA
MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEM: Political system, the set of formal legal institutions that constitute a “government” or a “state.” This is the definition adopted by many studies of the legal or constitutional arrangements of advanced political orders. Still more broadly defined, the political system is seen as a set of “processes of interaction” or as a subsystem of the social system interacting with other nonpolitical subsystems, such as the economic system.
Britain political system
A Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition government held office from 2010 until 2015, the first coalition since 1945. The coalition ended following parliamentary elections on 7 May 2015, in which the Conservative Party won an outright majority of 330 seats in the House of Commons, while their coalition partners lost all but eight seats. While coalition and minority governments have been an occasional feature of parliamentary politics, the first-past-the-post electoral system used for general elections tends to maintain the dominance of these two parties, though each has in the past century relied upon a third party, such as the Liberal Democrats, to deliver a working majority in Parliament. The United Kingdom is a unitary state with devolution that is governed within the framework of a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, is the head of state while the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, currently Theresa May, is the head of government.
Nigeria political system.
The judicial branch consists of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Court of Appeals, the High Courts, and other trial courts such as the Magistrates', Customary, Sharia and other specialized courts.[8] The National Judicial Council serves as an independent executive body, insulating the judiciary from the executive arm of government.[9] The Supreme Court is presided over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria and thirteen associate justices, who are appointed by the President of Nigeria on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council. The federal government of Nigeria is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the Constitution of Nigeria in the National Assembly, the President, and the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, respectively. The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Nigeria as "hybrid regime" in 2016.
together, the two chambers make up the law-making body in Nigeria, called the National Assembly, which serves as a check on the executive arm of government.
While the world is keenly watching events in Nigeria in the run up to the elections, especially against the backdrop of Boko Haram’s threat, the British election is also on top of the agenda of the world order. In the run up to the 2010 elections, the major TV broadcasts companies came up with the successful idea of multi-dates political debates. This is especially true of the United Kingdom because its history has been very different from most other nations and, as a result, its political system is very different from most other nations too.
Similarities between Britain and Nigeria political systems The similarities between these two states does however consist the fact that, both the states of Britain and Nigeria have a strong multi-nationalism, with regard to not only its populace but cabinet.
Whilst comparatively, the single most important fact when analyzing Britain as political structure and hegemonic power is in understanding the fundamental continuity of both its political system and territorial continuity.

Meaning and Characteristics of Nigerian Politics
Political System Since colonial incursion and the attainment of political independence, Nigeria like other erstwhile colonial possessions have inculcated the Westminster-styled political system at independence “influenced tremulously by an elite class that projects the political culture which could make or mar democracy as a result of the political parties” (Aristotle, 2007). This means that the political parties become platforms on which the politicians actualize the authoritative allocation of values, often time the idiosyncrasies of these political elites form values which are inconsistent with the parent political-style copied, thus making the attainment of good governance impossible.
Political System of UK
The single most important fact in understanding the nature of the British political system is the fundamental continuity of that system. For almost 1,000 years, Britain has not been invaded or occupied for any length of time or over any substantial territory as the last successful invasion of England was in 1066 by the Normans. Is this true of any other country in the world? I can only think of Sweden.
Similarities
1. Both countries have strong multinationalism:In Britain: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
In Nigeria: Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa Fulani
2. Media in both Nigeria and Britain has almost always been relatively free, with very little government control.
Differences:
• Britain has a parliamentary System, Nigeria has a Presidential System.
• In Nigeria the President holds the majority of the power; in Britain, the Prime Minister holds a majority of the power.
• Nigeria contains a patron clientelist system called pre-bendalism, whereas Britain does not.
• Britain has an unwritten constitution and functions based on common law; Nigeria has a written constitution.
• Britain is a unitary state with political authority centralized in London. Nigeria is a federal presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President is both head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system.
• Nigeria is a rentier state.
• In Britain there is Nobless oblige: duty of the upper class to take responsibility for the welfare of the lower classes. Whereas in Nigeria there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, with the rich doing very little to help the poor.

THE U.K. PARLIAMENT
1. The British Parliament - like that of most larger countries - is bicameral, that is there are two houses or chambers. One tends to find unicameral legislatures in smaller nations such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Israel and New Zealand, although China and Iran are two larger nations with a single legislative chamber (but neither of these countries is a democracy).
2. The British Parliament is often called Westminster because it is housed in a distinguished building in central London called the Palace of Westminster which stands out because of the clock tower at the south end (this is the Elizabeth Tower and it houses Big Ben) and the tower with a flag at the other end (this is the Victoria Tower).

COMPARE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF NIGERIA AND USA, STATING THERE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERNCES
INTRODUCTION
America like Nigeria was once a British colony. Our own presidential system and constitution were crafted by the so-called wise men in Nigeria who were micro manage by the military who had their on hidden agenda. The America constitution was crafted by another caliber of wise men but carefully edited by the great Thomas Jefferson, one of the foundation father of America with only one goal in mind – to make America a leading light in the world and the shining city on the hill she has become Nigeria and America therefore have one or two things in common because of that history.
I recall that many of our politicians and legislators, at both federal and state levels, were sponsored at Government expense to come understudy America congress and take away something they could use in consolidating our presidential system at home.
COMPARING NIGERIA AND USA POLITICAL SYSTEM
There is very little to compare between the way Democracy is practiced in America and the way it works back home in Nigeria. I paid a short to the Nigerian president in Abuja the last time I Was not last time I Was at Home. ALL I wanted to see was my legislator in action. It was not a pretty picture at all. Thank god their debate level and were rarely shown on Television. It was an eye sore and the level and quality of their debate and preparation for those debates was in Great Britain.

QUESTION
COMPARE THE POLITICAL SYSTEMS OF NIGERIA AND USA AND STATE THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
INTRODUCTION
Nigeria is a Federal Republic composed of 36 States, and a Capital Territory, with an elected President and a Bi-cameral Legislature. It operates the Presidential system of Government with three distinct but complementary arms namely the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary, each acting as a check on the other two.
The Executive arm of Government, at the Federal level, consists of the President, the Vice-president and other members of the Federal Executive Council, while at the State level, it is made up of the Governor, the Deputy Governor and other members of the State Executive Council.
The Legislature is equally found at the Federal and State levels. The Federal Legislature comprises a 109- member Senate and a 360-member House of Representatives.
The Judiciary interpretes the laws and adjudicates in conflicts between the Executive and the Legislature.
COMPARING NIGERIA AND UNITED STATE OF AMERICA POLITICAL SYSTEM
Supremacy of the Central Government in both Country
Both countries recognize the federal government as the power center of all states. The states in Nigeria and US can not separate from the central government. The state, however, has a power to create its own laws. Still, the federal government laws will prevail if there is dispute. The Federal government is supreme in the federal structure.
Written and Supremacy of the Constitution in both Country
America and Nigeria, being a federation consisting of states and Federal territory, have written Constitutions which establish Parliamentary and Presidential form of government respectively. Article 9(1) of the USA constitution provides for the supremacy of the constitution by declaring “the constitution is the supreme law of the land’. The same is true for the Nigerian Constitution declaring “the constitution is supreme and its provision should have binding force on the authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” In both countries every organ of the state and every functionary working under the constitution are required to act in accordance with the provision of the constitution.

Nigerian Political System
Political System Since colonial incursion and the attainment of political independence, Nigeria like other erstwhile colonial possessions have inculcated the Westminster-styled political system at independence “influenced tremulously by an elite class that projects the political culture which could make or mar democracy as a result of the political parties” (Aristotle, 2007). This means that the political parties become platforms on which the politicians actualize the authoritative allocation of values, often time the idiosyncrasies of these political elites form values which are inconsistent with the parent political-style copied, thus making the attainment of good governance impossible.
Political System of UK
The single most important fact in understanding the nature of the British political system is the fundamental continuity of that system. For almost 1,000 years, Britain has not been invaded or occupied for any length of time or over any substantial territory as the last successful invasion of England was in 1066 by the Normans. Is this true of any other country in the world? I can only think of Sweden.
THE U.K. PARLIAMENT
1. The British Parliament - like that of most larger countries - is bicameral, that is there are two houses or chambers. One tends to find unicameral legislatures in smaller nations such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Israel and New Zealand, although China and Iran are two larger nations with a single legislative chamber (but neither of these countries is a democracy).
2. The British Parliament is often called Westminster because it is housed in a distinguished building in central London called the Palace of Westminster which stands out because of the clock tower at the south end (this is the Elizabeth Tower and it houses Big Ben) and the tower with a flag at the other end (this is the Victoria Tower).
