Topic: Election

Meaning of Election

In a community, everybody cannot lead. So there must be representatives who will give directives for others to follow. This has given rise to nominations and the election of representatives that will direct the affairs of a particular community.

An election is simply defined as the process by which people are voted into power. It is the way of voting people to occupy political offices in order to serve the community or society for a particular period of time. An election is defined as the act of choosing candidates to represent the people of a given country in the parliament, the executive, and possibly into other areas of government as stipulated in the constitution of that country. For example in the U.S.A, judges of the lower courts are elected.

An election is a process by which people select or elect a candidate for an official position. It is usually carried out in a democratic system of government. An election is done through voting. Elections are conducted at definite intervals as spelled out in the constitution of the nation.

Voting  is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate to make a decision or express an opinion, usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”.

Topic: Importance of Election

Purpose of Election

• There is change in government which makes it easier for the people to remove a bad government.
• It gives elected representatives the legitimate right to rule.
• The people have the free choice of choosing leaders.
• It ensures control and accountability.
• It fosters democracy.
• Electorates are educated about their rights.
• Election enhances equality of citizens’ votes.

Topic: Electoral Bodies

Elections are not just conducted by the people on the street. The constitution has provided for how elections should be conducted. It spells out specifically that there shall be electoral bodies. In Nigeria, there is an electoral body which conducts elections and supervises all electioneering process. The body is called Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The body conducts elections into federal and state electoral constituencies. At the state level, usually for the conduct of local government elections, the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) is in charge.  To learn more, click here

Topic: Free and Fair Elections

The Need for Free and Fair Election

It is very important to have free and fair elections if the nation must progress. An election could be regarded as free and fair if the following things happen:

• Free Opportunities to Register as a Voter: A situation where some politicians sit in a place and start to collate fictitious names with the intention of keeping cards to rig elections is not free and fair.
• Free Opportunities to Contest in Election: When there is a level playing ground for politicians to contest elections, and candidates are not imposed by a godfather or godmother or because a candidate is wealthy. There is a need for the best candidate to emerge.
• Placing Less Emphasis on Money: Some politicians believe in the highest bidder takes the lead. The highest bidder is the one who provides the highest amount of money which are given to godfathers and mothers and is then given the party’s mandate to contest election even without passing through primary elections.

Topic: Electoral Malpractices in Nigeria

Electoral Malpractice

Malpractice is the act of failing to do professional duty properly or making a mistake while doing it. E.g. a policeman failing to arrest and prosecute criminals has failed in his responsibilities and this is malpractice.

Electoral malpractice is the failing of all electoral institutions or bodies to carry out elections in the proper or professional ways it is supposed to be done. It is any act that hinders a free and fair election. i.e., it is any act of lawlessness that could stop or discourage people to cast their vote freely and sincerely. To learn more, click here

Topic: ways of preventing electoral malpractices in nigeria.

Consequences of Electoral Malpractice

• Unpopular people will become leaders

• Hooligans who brought them to power would be the people they appoint in charge of things
• Tribal and ethnic sentiments would be used in selecting and executing government projects
• Money meant for projects will be diverted and embezzled
• Those in power will do all to eliminate their opposition
• The level of illiteracy and poverty will continue

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.
• Provision of party agents: In order to prevent possible rigging of elections, political parties are allowed to nominate their party agents whose duty is to protect the interest of the party. They listen to the announcement of results and watch the counting of votes.
