BACKGROUND
FOR THE STUDY
Cultism is the state where
persons are bound together with a common belief or course usually through
rituals. According to the oxford dictionary of English the word “cult” means a
system of worship usually expressed through ritual. Form this definition, cult
which is now properly known as confraternities, hence assumed a monstrous
feature in our institution of higher learning. To give end therefore, out
various campuses which were hitherto a mode of intellectual quest citadels of
violence and terrorism. Cultism which started in the late 50s, but the first
(secret) cult in our institution was the sea dog popularity known as (pirates).
It was formed by seven men gang men then, led by professor Wole Soyinka of the
then university, college, Ibadan in 1952, there was nothing secret then here it
was merely introduced. The main motive is to move the country forward and to
fight against oppression by the colonial masters the “motto” says one thing we
all agreed as that, there world not be any room for colonial mentality in the
club. According Ehigie (2007) stated that there are some major reasons why
student join secret cult activities.
Protection: Many
ignorant students join one secret cult or the other all in the name of being
protected by the cult leaders who cannot even protect themselves.
Popularity: Many
students join cult because they want to know where ever they are because of
their ever activities.

other students believed that as a cultist they have gain superiority over the
non cultist (Jews).
Access to girls: Many
boys think that cultist at trust girls and there will be no scarcity of girl
friends for the cultist. Verse versa.
But today cult’s activities have
change from it original plans. It is now a saying that cultist’s activities are
all evil and satanic and the youths who are future leaders of this nation be
the one involved in this activities (cult). If cultism is playing our citadels
of learning of learning, where the mind and character of our youths be being
sharpened for good, then the very foundation of an national development is
shaky. This study therefore is to examine the effect of cultism on academic
performances of students in selected tertiary institution in Edo State,
