INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Cultism is the state or phenomenon where persons are bound together with a
common belief or cause usually through some rituals.
According to Oxford dictionary of
current English 5th edition the word “cult” mean a system of
religions worship especially one that is expressed in rituals. From this
definition cults now popularly know as confraternities, have assumed a
monstrous features in our institution of higher learning. To this end therefore
our various campuses, which were hitherto a mode of intellectual quest and
social uplift most have become citadel of violence and terrorism.
The pertinent question that one
may ask is the phenomenon of cult just entering our institution of higher
learning? The answer is simply no. this is because international figure have
been know t be members of the pirates confraternity in their college days or
universities.
Furthermore, when there was a
violent clash between the Eiye confraternity and the Buccaneers at the
universities of Ibadan in (1989) some notable professors and doctors at the
institution were fond to the patrons and bankers of these cults.
The implication is that these
professors and doctors were members of these cults in their own college days.
We find and disturbing trend of the proliferation of campuses cult in or
institutions of higher learning, such cults are Viking the black axe, the
morphine, the buccaneers, the pirates, the black arrow to mention but a few
have become a familiar features in our institutions.
Additionally, the attention of
the government and the society at large is the introductions of violent,
savagery and terrorism into the present day cult a diametrical contrast to what
obtained in yester – years. It is now common in or campuses that factors of
naval cults violently clash even in broad day light and manta themselves down
with dangerous weapons such as guns and daggers, nocturnal initiation
ceremonies in which initiates are animalized and some of then die in the
process making blood covenants and performing other occultic rituals, organized
opposition against any kind of oppression real or imagined liberal consumption
of alcohol, use of drugs, intimidation and use of violent, extortion, stealing,
armed robbers, arson, sexual abuse and rape, examination malpractice, maiming,
manslaughter and murder. The recent occurrence are the university of Ile-Ife,
Benin Ekpoma, Ibadan and of the course college of education, Ekiadolor to
mention but a few artist to these facts. This is what as led to the pubic to
speak against the societal evil calling to its total eradication.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
The fundamental problems of
cultism are the uncertain and unsafe atmosphere in or campuses even to the
activities of members of secret cult. Their manner of operation is both
sinister and bizarre living behind them, a frail of wants destruction. Most
distressing of the problems is the spate of killing in our campuses in recent
times, many lives have been terminated permanently.
In spite of measure put in place by the various arm
of government and school administrators, aimed at combating the ugly trend of
cultism, the phenomenon on our campuses has refused to be eradicated.
Thus, the researcher intend to
make an in-depth study into the factors which create the tearful climate that
encourage the growth and spread of cultism in our institutions of higher
learning with a view to proffer solutions to the problems.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to
examine the factors that encourage the growth of cultism in our institution of
higher ;learning with view to educate the public about the extent of the social
problems.
It should be seen by those who
could do something about it (educational planners, educational policy makers,
the Nigeria University Commission (NUC), the government, parents, various
university councils and senates, etc.) as something that did not just evolve
overnight, hence, solution. It is should be as elastic as its evolution.
Firstly, cult association parade
members that is not classifiable as normal personality types. Hence, the
particular agoraphobic trait in them gives impetus to the desire to operate
clandestinely need to located and attacked.
Secondly, university authorities
should not frequently use threats of expulsion against cult members. Instead,
effective means should be devised to draw out and register cult organization so
that their activities would be made more open and easy to monitor. It is also
psychologically defeating to expel students from an institution of learning,
particularly for behavioral deficiencies, such as exercising one’s right of
association wrongly. When a human organism is expelled from an establishment
whose sole objective is to train and change behaviour.
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This study will provide
expository factors which encourage the growth and spread of cultism in our
institution of higher learning. This will therefore provide planer and
implementers of policies with the factors that influence cultism in schools.
These when know will enable them to fight cultism squarely and help eradicate
the problems that has become a canker worm in our institution of higher
learning.
