Is Nigeria a Federal Republic? by @9jaclicktivist (part 1)

Is Nigeria a Federal Republic? a bitting question out of imagination meant to be said in an incredulous voice, well as widely said,Federal Republic of Nigeria is a republic in West Africa on the Gulf of Guinea; gained independence from Britain in 1960;and most populous African country.
Federal Republic is a form of government made up of federal states with a constitution and self-governing subunits, but are the subunits in Nigeria self governing? No, our local government are not autonomous, they are under the boundage of the state government, O yes,I repeat, Is Nigeria a Federal Republic?. In a republic, people are assembled and administered by their representatives and agents, meaning each community have to have the same amount of proper representation in each of the arms of governing: Executive, Judiciary and Legislative, Yes in a multilingual nation with numerous ethnic like Nigeria everybody must be equally represented, why the one way appointments?..I dey laugh o.
A Republic must have equal opportunity, representation and rights, with a supreme equal law embedded in the constitution, Now why would sharia law be introduced into the nation this makes us serve under different Law then its a breach to what is called Federal republic, ehm, is Nigeria a Republic?
