The Political Economy of Nigeria

It is very difficult to define what politics is or is not. Perhaps, the best way to approach the subject is to examine human beings. What is human nature? Perhaps, human beings cannot be defined? To define something is to limit it; human beings seem limitless hence cannot be defined? Be that as it may, we can describe human behavior. Empirical evidence shows that wherever human beings live that they live in social groups. The human society could be as small as the family unit, the kindred unit, the village, the town, a tribe, a nation, a continent and, indeed, the entire world.
