“…All these are experiences in a so-called democracy founded on social contract. Onuoha (2020) [5][6] , corroborated the foregoing observations and explicitly posited that: In Nigeria, there is never a day that goes by without hearing of murders, kidnappings, or community invasions by criminals. Nothing will happen despite the harassment, rape, attack, murder, and robbery that you endure.…”

“…The initial necessity of the state is the emergence of the political society, which came up at stage in the course of social history, consequent upon change in the social mode of production at a historic epoch. Hence, Onuoha (2020) [5][6] , on his view of the state from the political economy perspective, has seen the state as product of any society that has transcended communal mode of production. Therefore, the state is a specific modality of class relation which guards and determines the prevailing mode of production and so mediates inter and intra-class struggle.…”

“…As a result, Nigeria today represents a Hobbesian ~ 35 ~ state of nature, where life is lonely, destitute, repulsive, and brief. (Onuoha, 2020, p.37) [5][6] . Same laws that are bases of social order, peace and development in some other countries from which Nigeria claims to copy its constitution and political system, also exists in Nigeria.…”

“…The question is; why has Nigeria's experience and experiment with these sacred codes of order and social conducts, been a paradox and irony of itself with flagrant abuse and violation of human rights? Onuoha (2020) [5][6] , responds as follows: There is little doubt that the atmosphere in Nigeria, with all of its uncertainties, injustices, lax laws, and inability to punish or hold anybody accountable for their actions, has over time generated generations of people with psychopathic inclinations. Antisocial conduct is present in both the leaders and the populace….…”

“…Antisocial conduct is present in both the leaders and the populace…. (Onuoha, 2020, p.21) [5][6] . Human Right abuse either by the Nigerian state agents is boldly committed in most cases with impunity, while nonstate agents openly invade houses, streets, schools and even churches and mosques at choice times and successfully bomb such places, kill and kidnap innocent citizens.…”

Political theories are a set of intellectual constructs and propositions that attempts the explication, analyses and prediction of political phenomena. Political theories are products of political philosophy, which itself finds essence in raising ideas that serve the needs of man in a political society. Social contract theories are therefore constructs and propositions which retrieve the nature of human existence in a pre-state historic society, and his better resolve to submit to constituted authority, for the purpose of peace, human rights and avoidance of man's inhumanity to man on the premise of comparative muscular superiority. The paper is saddled with the responsibility of x-raying the various theories of social contract to answer the question of the essence of the democratic state with the social contract, and its capacity to guarantee fundamental human rights, especially right to life in Nigeria. The paper employed documentary methodology and accessed secondary sources such as textbooks, and relevant online materials. The theoretical focus was the classical social contract theories of Thomas Hobbs, John Locke, and Jean-Jack Rousseau. Findings showed inter alia, that the Nigerian state, since the country's return to democracy in 1999, has dishonoured its own role in the social contract with its citizens. This has synthesized in flagrant abuse of fundamental human rights and consequently, increased insecurity extrajudicial killings among other forms of rising insecurity. We recommended among other things, leadership accountability and fulfillment of campaign promises as a means of reclaiming the confidence of the masses in the Nigerian state.

The study was basically a qualitative one designed to underscore the prospects and challenges of new states in world politics. It theorized the new states in terms of age and development and came to the conclusion that new states in terms of development face stiffer challenges in the contemporary new world order especially as a result of low level of technological development and prevailing maladministration. The study revealed that globalization in world political order does not serve the interest of developing and underdeveloped countries. It is a modern colonization mechanism to perpetuate underdevelopment of these countries. The work therefore suggested that advanced countries that are technologically developed should assist the new states in reducing the world poverty rate which is a serious global security threat. It also recommended that the political leadership in the new states should work hard to ensure drastic reduction of bad governance and by extension corruption.
