A third general
proposition is that the greater the intensity of men‟s expectations, the
creator their anger when they meet unexpected or increased resistance.
Gurr further states four interviewing variables thus: the legitimacy of
the political regime in which violence occurs, coercive potential,
institutionalization and social structures which they condition the
perception of deprivation.
In a related manner, James Davies attributed violent outbreak to the frustration that result from short term
decline in achievement following a long term increase that generate expectation about continuing increase.
Basically,
a person thwarted in the attempt to reach a goal is made angry and
likely to protest against the imputed source of frustration. This, Dowse
and Hughes observe in social life, men come to value many things,
status, power, security, equality, freedom, wealth etc. when they cannot
achieve those value means loosing another, angry, dissatisfactions and
in the cases aggression occur, Mayer (1976), argue in support that the
normal tendency towards violence aggression or dispute is increasingly
frustration desires. To him, when a goal presumably attractive two or
more individuals is made available in such a way that it can be obtained
looser. Those frustrate actors in political system can become sponsors
of things, kidnappers.
Davies (1973) observes that aggressive action
required four (4) main steps namely activation of demand, frustration of
demand, mental processes of deciding how to overcome the frustration
and action. It is important to note that various individuals or groups
involved in political
and or religious sects such as the Boko Haram,
engage in such violent activities because they perceive a sense of
disloyalty and injustice on the part of the government. This is often
due to the fact that their needs are not properly met, and as a result
of this, they stoop to violent means inform of rebellion against the
government that has lost their popular support and legitimacy hence this
leads to restiveness among youths and invariably there is lose of lives
and property.
According to Kerlinger (1977) a theory is a set of
interrelated constructs (concepts) and propositions that presents a
systematic view of phenomena by specifying relations among variables
with the purpose of explaining and predicting the phenomena. Having said
these, among all the paradigms drafted by various schools over the
years, the focus therefore, so on the Boko Haram crisis and its effect
on „property and youth restiveness in Nigeria.
