Effects of Cultism in Nigeria

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!

Fear

This thing about fear and guilt... Fear is the most basic and fundamental human feeling. I say basic because from your infant stage you're born prone to fear; you fear the dark and the emptiness; you fear the blurry and what you may encounter in the unknown. I say fundamental because- in life generally you learn from trial and error, you lift up a glass jar, it falls and breaks and you learn. You cook a meal, it burns and noting you observe. But not all life lessons fall under trial and error. There are just those things which if you fail at- there just ain't no coming back. Which is where fear comes in. Being scared keeps you within you lane, and usually if your basic instinct is to run away you ain't wrong. Our elders- they grew up with fear; which had it's pros and cons necessarily. I remember how scared I was to get a beating, be at home or at school. When I was a kid back then the very thought of boboko baffles me ... That kept me from messing up, it kept a lot of ...

Buhari's group clarifies Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff's appointment as Director General

The Presidential Support Committee of Buhari 2019 has said the presidency misunderstood its appointment of former National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, as its director general. The National Secretary of the group, Hon. Kassim Muhammad Kassim, in a statement, yesterday, said the group’s mission was misunderstood by the presidency to mean that Sheriff’s committee was to compete with the Presidential Campaign Council headed by Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi. Kassim said the committee was a conglomerate of about 300 Buhari support groups that unanimously endorsed Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to lead the said Presidential Support Committee for Buhari in 2019 and not the Buhari Campaign Organisation for the 2019 election.
