The Application of Qualities of Friendship in Constitutional Reforms of Nigeria
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
There are many multi-ethnic countries that are experiencing the problem of co-habitation. And this has affected the level of peace and development in those countries. There are cries of marginalisation and injustice especially by the minority groups. Often these have led to full scale civil wars. A close look at the problem of co-habitation in multi-ethnic countries reveals the cause of this. It is essentially as a result of the different perceptions of justice by the constituent ethnic groups. Each ethnic group has its perception of justice engraved in its world view. It does not think that other perceptions of justice of other ethnic groups are legitimate. In order to achieve a better integration of the multi-ethnic countries, the qualities of friendship ought to be used in the reformulation of their constitutions. This paper will use Nigeria which is an ethnic country to showcase on how this can be done in order to have an all-inclusive constitution that serves the interests of the constituent ethnic groups of a country.
