Nigeria has greatly suffered the negative effects of cultism. The split-tribal culture made it a ‘join us or die' thing. The various groups and their strife for dominance is the big deal. These effects includes:
Alarming death of young and old people: a little matter triggered by one girlfriend from one group can lead to the death of members and their parents.
Increase in school dropout: their are many reasons for which a student may be expelled or suspended from school; in Nigeiria, about 60% has all to do with cultism.
Increase in thuggery; the big boys of cult groups recruit the baddest among the younger ones who are loyal to them to become their thugs. From the political to the religious circles, this menace is a reality.
Increase in theft and robbries: the poor boys “bammed” are sent out to do some notorious activities as ordered by their toppers; such as rape, robbery, kidnap, assassination, car-snatching etc.
There is much to write, but for time sake, I drop my pen on the note: cultism has not benefited Nigeria children and youths in anyway. We are praying that this social menace will come to an end in Amen!
