Leadership is a critical factor that leads to the growth and development of any nation. This is because ineffective leadership leads to sociopolitical disaggregation in the social structure of man. It is in light of the above that this work investigates political gangsterism in the Nigerian nation as dramatised in Ojo Bakare‘s The Gods and the Scavengers. The play is a deliberate caricature of political gangsters whose interest is to oppress and exploit the poor masses for personal gains. This, however, runs contrary to democratic dictums of fairness, equity, and equal opportunities. To carry out diligent investigation into the abovementioned subject matter, the work employs Emmanuel Kant‘s incongruity theory and Karl Marx‘s Marxist theory. It is the modest recommendation of this work that gangsterism and its antithetical tendencies should be discouraged in human relationships, thus allowing equal distribution of opportunities, rule of law, and fairness to thrive in a democratic setting in Nigeria.
