TL;DR: In this paper, a series of illustrations about Nigeria's corruption in everyday life is presented, focusing on the urgent business relationship between Nigeria's E-mail Scams and development scams.

TL;DR: It is men's anxieties and ambivalence about masculinity, sexual morality, and social reputation in the context of seeking modern lifestyles--rather than immoral sexual behavior and traditional culture--that exacerbate the risks of HIV/AIDS.

TL;DR: Uslaner correctly notes that anthropologists' stories and narratives are among the most powerful data in the social sciences, but that is why I am an anthropologist as discussed by the authors. But I certainly acknowledge and accept that my own analysis and understanding, as well as the larger contribution of my book would have benefited from a deeper engagement with the political science literature on corruption.

TL;DR: In Nigeria, popular understandings of HIV/AIDS and individual risk assessment and behaviour unfold within an interpretative grid that draws on a religious moral framework as mentioned in this paper, which can lead young migrants to imagine themselves as at little or no risk, and contributing to inconsistent protective practices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the ways in which family planning program personnel in Nigeria appropriate population program resources and models of social change to suit local priorities, and explain the corruption that characterizes donor-funded projects by situating the actions of project personnel in the context of local political economy and culture.
