INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Cultism can simply be
described as a land of gang behaviour that is accepted and value of the larger
society and is characterized by oath taking secrecy and violence. Cultism can
also be seen as the state of phenomenon where persons are bound together with a
common belief usually through some rituals. According to Oxford dictionary of
current English 5th edition the word “cult” means a system of
religion worship especially one that is expressed in rituals from this
definition cults now popularly known as confraternity have assumed a monstrous
features in our institutions of higher learning to this end, therefore, our
various campuses, which were most have become citadel of violence and
terrorism.
The pertinent
questions that one may ask is the phenomenon of cult just interring our
institutions of higher learning, the answer figure have been known to be
members of the pirates confraternity in their days in college or universities.
Furthermore, when there was violent clashes between Eiye confraternity and the
Buccaneer some notable professors and doctors at the institutions were found to
be patrons and bankers of these cults. The implications is that these
professors and doctors where members of these cults in their own college days.
We find and disturbing trend of the proliferation of campuses cult in our
institutions of higher learning, such cult are Vikings, the black axe, the
morphine, the buccaneer, 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 introduction of
violent savagery and terrorism into the present day cut a diametrical contrast
to what obtained in yester years it is now common in our campuses that factors
of ravel cults violent clashes even in broad day light and fight themselves
down with weapons such as guns, and daggers, nocturnal initiation ceremonies in
which initiated are animalized and some of them die in the process of making
blood covenants and performing other occultist 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. This is what has led
to the public to speaking against the societal evil calling to its total eradication.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The fundamental
problems of cultism are the uncertain and unsafe atmosphere in our campuses
even to the activities of members of secret cult these manner of operation is
both sinister and Bizerte living behind them a trial of what destruction most
distressing of the problems is the state of killing in our campuses in recent
o=times many lives have been terminated, permanently in spite of measures put
in place by the various arms of government and school authorities 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 indebt study into the
factors which create the fearful climate that encourage the growth and spread
of cultism in our institutions of higher learning with a view to proffer
solution to the problems.
1.3
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this
study is to examine the spread of cultism in our institutions of higher
learning with view to educate the public about the extent of the social
problem. It should be seen by those who could do something about its
educational planners, educational policy makers, the Nigeria university
commission (NUC) the government, parents, various university councils and
senate, etc as something that did not just involve overnight, hence solution.
It should be as elastic as its evolution.
Firstly, cult
association parade members that is not classifiable as normal personality types
hence the particular agoraphobic tract in them gives impetus to the desire to
operate and need to attack. Secondly, university authorities should not
frequently use threats of expulsions against cult members instead, effective
means should be devised to draw out and register 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 behavioural
deficiencies such as exercising one right of association, wrongly, when a human
organism is expelled from an establishment whose sole object is to train and
change behavaiour.
