Abstract:

Thuggery is a destructive force that erodes the fabric of society and breeds fear and distrust. It fosters a disregard for the rule of law and the principles of justice even as it erodes the values of empathy, compassion and respect for others, leading to a breakdown of social order. Societies afflicted by thuggery suffer from increased crime rates, reduced quality of life and a general sense of unrest and anarchy. Thuggery, especially its political variant, is a form of social violence which poses immense challenge to the security of lives and property of Nigerians and undermines the socio-ec

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, I rethink thuggery, an overt form of dissent, as a spatial structural frame. Through a close reading of everyday forms of thuggery in Nigeria, exemplified in literary, musical, and photographic forms, I argue that not only is thuggery ubiquitous in the African postcolony but also that it is the means by which the citizenry assert their citizenship, structure their space, and perform democracy. I use the phrase “proximate thuggery” in two ways: first, to broaden the commonplace definition of thuggery as violent antisocial behavior which does not hold up in many postcolon

The election of village heads is one form of democracy in the village. The concept of democracy is what provides the basis and mechanism of power based on the principle of equality and human equality. Democracy places humans as the owners of sovereignty which is then known as the principle of people's sovereignty. To fulfill the rights of each human being cannot be achieved by each person individually, but must be together. Along with the rapid development and construction as an impact of globalization, the phenomenon of thuggery has emerged as one of the negative impacts that occur indirectly

The primary issue is the incessant growth of inequality that leads to chronic poverty, which gives way to political thuggery and, consequently, terrorism in weak democracies or developing countries. In this particular context, the social disorganization theory was selected to elucidate the correlation between inequality, poverty, criminality, and terrorism in the top ten poorest countries in the world.

Abstract:

Background: Research indicates that young people in Nigeria mistakenly think that participating in politics is a “do-or-die” situation. This tendency has resulted in varying political beliefs, attitudes, and behavior patterns that may be irrational. This has occasionally led to a rise in the rate of social disengagement, thuggery, and electoral violence among young people. As a result, there is a lack of psychologically based interventions addressing this issue, which puts young people’s welfare at risk. In light of these findings, the study examined the impact of rational emotive behavioral e

In recent times, there has been noticeable increase in the desire by adolescents to make money and while this in itself should not be a problem, their tendency towards usurious returns primarily for ostentation, and their willingness to engage in almost anything including diabolic and fraudulent engagements, have made it a challenge to societal cohesion, progress and development. This article discusses how counselling can be used to address these challenges by looking at the causes of this quick money-making tendencies among adolescents, manifestations of these tendencies and how counselling c

Abstract:

Violence had assumed sundry roles in a colonial setting; of them, the most severe, but also perhaps the least noticed, was the foundational violence unleashed on the indigenous people in the margins. The criminalisation of certain communities of autochthones was a common colonial practice, as it facilitated the justification and codification of colonial violence on the convicts. For example, the de-notified tribes of India were all declared criminal tribes under the British Raj.

In this paper, the author compares the novel Confessions of a Thug (1839), written by a colonial official named Philip Meadows Taylor, with Newgate novels in general and the novel Jack Sheppard (1839) by William Harrison Ainsworth in particular. During the first half of the nineteenth century, two English colonial administrators named Philip Meadows Taylor and Colonel William Henry Sleeman published two works named Confessions of a Thug (1839) and Ramaseeana (1836). These two works popularised the notion that a religiously motivated murderous cult named 'thugs' operated on the roads of India,
