Human rights

Human Rights are freedom that we have under a state which the government must give to citizens. They are permitted to be given to a citizen of a state by law. Human Rights are the civic right that every individual is obligated to enjoy as it is stated in the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. Examples of such rights include; right to life, right to dignity of human person, right to fair hearing, right to worship, right to freedom of the press, right to education, right to freedom of association, right to freedom of speech, right to religion. Because such rights are important , the United Nations in 1948 made it a declaration of Fundamental Human Right and the resolution made it compulsory for all states to include such rights into their constitutions.

There have been an abuse of our rights in the country because many people are not aware of their rights and we do not follow the constitution in our country this forms of abuse includes that ; people may not be able to vote during election, people may not be given fair hearing in the courts of law, torture and indecent treatment by the law enforcement agent, people may be arrested, imprisoned without trial, seizure of properties.

And this have so many on individuals because they are being abused on their rights such as; people may suffer looses especially when they are deprieved of certain rights, it may lead to destruction of lives and properties, it leads to political instability, people may disobey the law in order to protest the abuse of their rights.

But this absue of rights can be prevented in ways such as people should be educated on their fundamental human rights so that they would not be deprived of their rights, Government should uphold the rule of law to guarantee the rights of the citizens, people should be given the opportunity to challenge any violations of their rights in the court of law, there should be independence of the judiciary because the court is the last hope of the common man.

Lets protect the right of our citizens, lets follow the constitution!!!!
