Nigeria is famous for "419" e-mails asking recipients for bank
account information and for scandals involving the disappearance of
billions of dollars from government coffers. Corruption permeates
even minor official interactions, from traffic control to
university admissions. In Moral Economies of Corruption Steven
Pierce provides a cultural history of the last 150 years of
corruption in Nigeria as a case study for considering how
corruption plays an important role in the processes of political
change in all states. He suggests that corruption is best
understood in Nigeria, as well as in all other nations, as a
culturally contingent set of political discourses and historically
embedded practices. The best solution to combatting Nigerian
government corruption, Pierce contends, is not through attempts to
prevent officials from diverting public revenue to self-interested
ends, but to ask how public ends can be served by accommodating
Nigeria's history of patronage as a fundamental political
principle.
