CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Cultism in
Nigeria has become a house hold name in most the Nigerian communities
and the activities are seen as normal before the citizens of Nigeria.
The growth of cultism has significant effect on the social, political
and economic development in Nigeria.It is evident that cultism started
in the higher institutions in Nigeria back to the early 50s by
Nigerian’s only noble laureate, professor Wole Soyinka and the effect is
seen in most of the Nigerian societies; although the motive behind the
formation was to put an end to tribalism, political injustice etc so as
to enhance social life in most of the Nigeria campuses.
According to
Adejoro (1995) stated that little did Wole Soyinka and his friends
realized that they were making history nor did they come to terms with
the fact that students and indeed youths radicalism was being given a
national boost and the unleashing of a national vanguardThe development
was paradoxical to the extent that they little realized that they were
laying the foundation for what was to be transformed eventually into
gansterism.
In defining cultism, Azelama, Alude and Imhonda (2000)
noted that “cult is an assemblage of people united by certain ideals, or
symbols and whose rites and ceremonies of veneration are unique and
shrouded in mysteries with a secrecy that cannot be broken.” Maxey
(2004) traces the meaning of cult from the Latin word ‘cultus’ which
means ‘to worship or give reverence to a deity.’ Thus, in its original
usage, it was simply applied to a religious worshipful group of people
regardless of the object or person they venerated.
The prevalence of
cultism has been seen in most of our communities, universities,
organization and the Nigeria political system.In most of our communities
the effect of cultism is seen in the destruction of properties,
hindrances to infrastructural development, harassment and molestation
etc. which in turn affect the socio economic development and well being
of the people in most of these communities.
