Abstract

Politics is the activity that involves the governance of a society and also the process of acquiring and maintaining power. Sadly, Nigerian politics is plagued by crime and criminal activities. Crime as a social problem has existed since time immemorial and has hindered the smooth running of society. This crime influences how politicians acquire, keep, and deal with power. This study tries to unravel the seven (7) natures of Nigerian politics and its impacts on society. These natures have done the Nigerian society no good, both politically and economically. This paper, which is theoretical in nature, adopts descriptive analysis to examine the issue of crime in Nigerian politics. It draws its arguments or sources from secondary data, which includes journals, internet sources, and textbooks. Discussion and seven recommendations were proffered at the end of the study.
