modern day Nigeria

All what is happening in modern day Nigeria can be traced back to what happen in the hobbesian society before the advent of a state in 1648. If you are a political scientist, you wil agree with me that in this hobbesian, there was no law, a society that is inhuman, tyrannical and in total disorderliness. This was a society where a man can overpower you and take over ur possesion without any justice. And this was why the people moved from a pre-political to political society where we have state to regulate the activities of men, maintain peace and order and provide security. In Nigeria today, this is what is also happening, someone wil embezzel billions and wil be asked to pay a fine of 150, 000. A group of faceless people who are killing Nigerians are seeking for amnesty for their members and people support them. Is this justice? There is no independent judiciary. We have corrupt politicians who are only concern about themselves and not the interest of the people. Nigeria as far as am concern is a failed state. It is more like the hobbesian society where there is no law.
