Abstract: This paper critically examined the nature of the seemingly greed induced attitudinal disposition of some political aspirants and public position holders in Nigeria and concluded that the buccaneering nature of the techniques adopted, portends negative augury for any sustainable nation building aspiration. In order to justify the need to reinvent a new approach to nation building, the paper explored the psychological antecedents of the negative attitudinal disposition, identified factors responsible for its sustenance and suggested that
concerted effort be put in place, such that will stimulate a build up to a new behavioural disposition capable of engendering the emergence of an enduring political culture..
