CONTENT

DEFINITION OF POPULAR PARTICIPATION

It refers to active involvements of citizens in matter of political social and


cultural activities in their country. It is a process of involving the citizens in the
governance of their country and in deciding important socio-cultural, political
and economic matter. It also refer to the procedure of involving majority of the
citizens of a country in the decision making processes especially on issues that
affects the welfare of the generality of the populace.

It is a process where citizens on their own involve themselves in direct or


indirect decisions making that affect their social, economic and political
welfare.

There are ways by which people exercise their popular participation in the
politics of their country and they include:

i. Citizens that are eligible register for election as a voter or a candidate.

ii. Voting during election to elect the leader of their choice.

iii. Citizens will also belong or support a part of their choice

iv. Attendance to political party meeting to be equipped and campaigns.

v. Citizens who are qualified should occupy political offices or position to


serve their nations: Presidents, Governors.

vi. Qualified citizen should contest for election.


vii. The citizens can also criticize the government where they are not doing
well constructively.

The Importance of popular participation

a. It gives people opportunity to be part of decision making in their country.

b. It is also means of being patriotic because it will afford citizens the


opportunity to serve their country.

c. It gives the citizens opportunity to be gainfully employed and to earn a


living while holding a political posts or offices, The President, Governor,
Counselor, etc.

d. It trains future political leaders.

e. It corrects the government so that they will not repeat their past mistakes.

f. It makes for effective and efficient management of the country resources.

THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN POLITICS

Some of the reasons why people do not participate in politics are:

1. Educational attainment: We have minimum qualification for any post into


which people might want to contest, therefore, an illiterate may not be
able to contest for such elective position.

2. Lack of enlightenment – The citizens are not properly enlightened to


know the need for them to participate fully in the governance of their
country. Some do not know when elections are held even when it is
announced in the air and television. They do not know the names of the
political parties formed and which to join.

3. Financial constraint is also a factor – some citizens cannot afford to feed


their families. Full political participation requires money to register,
organize political rallies and other things. Since they do not have money
they will not participate.

4. Some religion organization do not allow their members to be involved in


politics especially women.

5. Some places, culture forbid them from participating in politics.


6. It may be due to the attitude of the government towards the citizens when
the citizens are not catered for in any way

7 One party system which does not give room for choice may keep people
away from politics especially when the party in power does not perform
well.

8 Violence; if the hoodlums and thugs take over political activities


especially attacking innocent opposition.

9 Biased Electoral body discourages people from participating in politics.

10 When there is no press freedom, citizens’ participation will be reduced

11 Failure of elected leaders to fulfill their promises as outlined in their


manifestoes

12 Lack of independent Electoral Umpire

PERIOD 2
FORMATION OF POPULAR ORGANIZATION

Organization is the coming together of different groups to form a body to


achieve a set goal. They can start from immediate community. It is better to
start from the immediate community like neighborhoods. Many Christian and
Islamic Organizations started that way.

a. Through identification of common grounds or interest among persons or


groups: Nigeria Bar Association (NBA)), Nigerian Labour Congress
(NLC) Nigerian medical Association (NMA), Academic Staff Union of
Universities(ASUU),were formed to fight for the interest of workers
welfare and benefits.

b. There must be formal registration of popular organizations with the


appropriate authorities.

c. Popular organizations should work in partnership with the government in


bringing peace, happiness, unity, freedom and social justice.

d. A popular organization is an open society, where all activities are


transparent and they provide beneficial services that will bring about
peace.
e. Rules and regulations are drafted by a committee appointed to work on
the documents called a charter, bye-law, constitution or partnership
deeds.

https://blog.govolunteer.com/en/learning-en/human-rights/

Human Rights are basic rights and privileges of citizens in a country as


enshrined in the constitution. They are rights and freedoms in which every
human being is entitled to irrespective of colour, language, race, age, sex or
geographical location.
Fundamental Human Rights are written in the constitution of the country,
generally referred to as principles of fundamental human rights. These
principles are in four broad categories and they are as follows:

1. Civic and political rights (known as first rights); they are as follow

 Right to vote.
 Right to seek redress.
 Right to freedom of personal liberty.
 Right to life.
 Right to petition.
 Freedom of joining and forming associations.
 Right to freedom of conscience.

2. Economic and Social rights (known as second rights); they are as


follows

 Right to work.
 Right to fair compensation.
 Right to own property.
 Right to petition.
 Right to form and join trade unions.
 Right to free choice of employment.

Environmental rights (known as third rights); they are as follows

 Freedom of movement.
 Right to social security.
 Right to private and family life.
 Freedom from slavery.
 Right to security and protection from inhuman treatment.

THE LIMITATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

1. Conviction in a law court: if a citizen is found guilty of armed robbery,


treason or murder by a law court, such citizen could be denied his or her
rights to life by public execution.
2. Imposition of curfew: civil disorder in a state could lead to the state
government imposing a curfew
3. State of emergency: a state of emergency is a temporary system of rules
to deal with extremely dangerous or difficult situations. This is usually
declared by the president of a country when there is total breakdown of
law and order in a state, especially when there is an outbreak of civil war.
4. Slander, libel or sedition: The government could restrict the freedom of
expression of citizens when there is slander or sedition by individuals or
libel by the press.
5. Children under eighteen years of age: A child that is under the age of
eighteen years of age could be denied voting rights. This is done with the
thinking that such children are not yet mentally matured enough to take
critical decisions regarding issues of election and governance.
6. Health reasons: The right to freedom of movement of a citizen may be
denied if he or she suffers from insanity or any of the contagious diseases.
Examples include people having psychiatric illness, leprosy, small pox,
etc.
7. Criminal acts: A citizen could be deprived of the rights to free movement
if he or she is found guilty of criminal acts such as stealing, drug or
human trafficking, kidnapping, etc.
EVALUATION

Identify five things that may lead to human rights violation.

ASSIGNMENT

1. What is Human Right?


2. State eight examples of Human Right.

PERIOD TWO

EMERGENCY

A period of emergency in a nation or state could be described as periods of


tension, uncertainty characterized by unpleasant occurrences which affects
human rights. The rights of individuals are usually limited or restricted during
emergency periods because chaos replaces peace and lives and properties are in
serious danger. During emergency some aspects of the constitution are
suspended and security operatives such as the Police and Armed forces are
drafted into such areas affected by the crisis and their presence sometimes can
be quite uncomfortable and unpleasant. Indeed, living a community life
becomes very difficult in such areas.

The following are some of the things that happen during the period of
emergency:

1. Limitation of Movement: Citizens of such environment are advised to


stay indoors thereby restricting their movement and this action cannot be
challenged in a law court.
2. Imposition of curfew: A dusk to dawn curfew may be imposed and
people’s movement is restricted even in the night.
3. Suspension of Legislation: The legislative arm of government is usually
the first victim of emergency rule. The act of law making is suspended
and the law makers are immediately sacked and authoritarian rule takes
over. The Governor also is appointed to take over the administration of
that state.
4. Suspension of Freedom of Assembly: During emergency period, the right
of assembly of the people is taken away. The gathering of people
especially for political reasons is termed unlawful and could be jailed for
so doing. Cases of such occurred during the military era.
5. Loss of Freedom of Expression: During emergency rule, people are too
afraid to express their opinion because those who dare to do so undergo
serious harassment, torture, jailed or even killed. The media are usually
targets and victims.
6. Breakdown of law and Order: During periods of emergency, some people
may be unfortunate. They may lose their lives or properties or even both.
7. Indefinite closure of some public Institutions: In emergency, some
institutions may be forced to close down due to fear of uncertainty,
institutions such as Educational Institutions, Hospitals, Worship centers,
Airports, etc.
8. Criminal Activities: During emergency periods, some individuals or
organized group may resort to committing all sorts of crimes such as
looting, rape, arson-burning of people’s houses, or worship places,
blocking roads and burning tires on major roads and streets, etc.
9. Displacement of Persons: During periods of emergency, people because
of fear of losing their lives run from their homes and become refugees.
This is usually the case during wars, communal clashes/crisis, fire
disaster, flooding earthquake, etc.
10. Disruption of Economic and Social Activities: During emergency period,
people find it difficult to carry out their duties. Businesses are suspended
due to fear. This also slows down progress and development of the
society.
11. Fettered Judiciary: The judges may at such times be forced to give
judgments that suit the authority during emergency rule.
