dc.description.abstractPolitical corruption is a phenomenon that has severely ravaged China and Nigeria. It has adversely affected economic and political development of both countries. However, the consequences of political corruption in China slightly differ from Nigeria owing to stiff penalty meted on the corrupt officials in China. The objective of this paper is to compare corruption and offender prosecution in both countries, and how disparity in offender prosecution has affected economic development in both countries. The paper is premised on Soft State Theory, and solely relies on secondary sources of data such as journal articles, institutional and organizational publications, Newspapers, and books. Content analysis was employed to achieve the objective of the paper. The paper concludes that higher economic development recorded by China is traceable strict fight against corruption, unlike in Nigeria that is typified by uncertainty of prosecution of corrupt officials. Among others, the paper recommends that Nigeria needs a strong political will in fighting corruption because economic development is an illusion in any corrupt society.
