Justice as a principle that heals wounds and assuages hurt was reinforced recently by the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis as he carried out a most

extensive revision to Catholic Church law in four decades. He made it clear that instances in which Church authorities place mercy above justice was not acceptable.

The constitution, Nigerians argue, do not conduce to a healthy, workable democracy as it was hurriedly put together to serve the peculiar interest of a military junta and its dictatorial disposition. Over and above the authoritarian inclination of the constitution are the perceived injustices embedded in its provisions which inexorably bug down its implementation as an instrument of national cohesion.
