| Abstract: | An effort to understand the nature, extent and persistence of the fundamental processes of Nigerian political life and of its social and economic ramifications. The State in this country has increasingly become a magnet for all facets of political and economic life, consuming the attention of traders, contractors, builders, farmers, traditional rulers, teachers, as much as that of politicians or politically motivated individuals. One important aim of this study, therefore, is to elaborate a conceptual notion - prebendalism - which seems most appropriate for explaining the centrality in the Nigerian polity of the intensive and persistent struggle to control and exploit the offices of the State. |
