The perceptions of justice amongst Christian and Muslims in northern Nigeria affect the way they relate and coexist with one another. This study investigates the relationships between Christian and Muslims in northern Nigeria and their understanding of justice. It looks at the dynamics of multiplex relations and perceptions of justice that affect the coexistence of Christians and Muslims within the context of northern Nigerian societies. A person may relate to another individual as a relative, a business associate, a friend, a teacher, and a neighbor. These relationships can either be cultivated to bring about a perception of justice that accepts and tolerates the religious other, or they can be set aside to create polarization in human communities and bring about a perception of justice that rejects the religious other.
