What System Of Governments Are We Practising? (i'm Confused) by MrImole: 7:04pm On Aug 17, 2015
I saw this on yahoo when I searched for the difference between federalism and regionalism and I'm confused.

1- Federalism is a political concept in which a group of
members are bound together by covenant (Latin:
foedus, covenant) with a governing representative
head. The term "federalism" is also used to describe a
system of government in which sovereignty is
constitutionally divided between a central governing
authority and constituent political units (such as states
or provinces).
2- In politics, regionalism is a political ideology that
focuses on the interests of a particular region or group
of regions, whether traditional or formal (political
divisions, administrative divisions, country
subdivisions or subnational units). Regionalists aim at
increasing their region's influence and political power,
either through movements for limited form of autonomy
(devolution, states' rights, decentralization) or through
stronger measures for a greater degree of autonomy
(sovereignty, separatism, independence). Regionalists
often favor loose federations or confederations over a
unitary state with a strong central government.
So the most evident difference between the two is that
federal units have more autonomy in governing their
affairs (except for external relations and foreign policy
which are competences of the federal government) than
administrative regions...


My question is which of the two did Nigeria practice in 1950s and which one are we practising now?

Ishilove, Lalasticlala, farano, Seun

which answer are you looking for? We are not practising federalism or regionalism at the moment

If anything what we are practising now is closer to unitary system
