This research lays emphasis on predominant corruption stories in popular Nigerian newspapers, by means of fantasy-theme analysis in reviewing issues that concern corruption within the Nigerian political sphere. Particularly, this analysis compares stories about Nigerian politicians who have been reported at various points in time by Nigerian newspapers as corrupt individuals, who in one way or the other were found guilty of syphoning funds and falsifying relevant information. Through a thorough examination of fantasy themes roles on these accounts and recognizing which parts of reality are significant, we conceive what the messages are able to achieve with regards to the creation of rhetorical visions within contexts of symbolic convergence theory. In this study, fantasy themes analysed disclose meanings regarding morality, personal decisions, and class privilege. This study also highlights how stories on corruption cases by political leaders could help in the establishment of proper, honourable societies that punish or reprimand certain corrupt behaviours via normative impact on audiences. Fundamentally, rhetorical visions derived in this paper suggest that decision to be corrupt or not, as a politician lies with the politician himself.
