The theory of political justice is based on two conceptions. The first is the ‘might-is-right’ school, which describes the illegitimate or amoral exercise of power over individuals or communities. The second is the contractarian perspective, based on the notion that a political community should be founded on consensus among its people, and serve their best interests. Nigeria is a product of the might-is-right school. This country was created, and continues to exist, on the whim and self-interest of the powerful, not on high ideals or noble virtues.
