Nigeria became a republic in
A) 1914
B) 1961
C) 1960
D) 1963
Correct Answer: D) 1963
Explanation
The question is asking about when Nigeria became a republic. You may have heard the term republic used to describe a type of government. A republic is a government where the people elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. The question is giving us four options to choose from.
Option A says that Nigeria became a republic in 1914. This is not correct because Nigeria was not yet an independent country in 1914.
Option B says that Nigeria became a republic in 1961. This is also not correct because Nigeria did not become a republic in 1961.
Option C says that Nigeria became a republic in 1960. This is a possible answer because Nigeria gained its independence from Britain in 1960. When a country gains independence, it means that they are no longer ruled by another country and can govern themselves.
Option D says that Nigeria became a republic in 1963. This is the correct answer. In 1963, Nigeria became a republic and adopted a new constitution. This meant that the President became the Head of State instead of the Queen of England.
So, the correct answer to this question is Option D: 1963. It is important to remember that gaining independence and becoming a republic are two different things. Nigeria gained its independence in 1960 but became a republic in 1963.
