It is popularly Believed that The first cultist group in Nigeria was created by Prof. Wole Soyinka called "THE PIRATES CONFRATERNITY" in 1965 Cultism wouldn't have been in Nigeria if not for the abderian act by well esteemed professor.. Though reasons for his actions are best known to him. But We all are aware of the negative menace cultism is causing in our society today and it rampant spread among our Potentially blessed youth Now the question is.. Was Professor Wole Soyinka's act right? After almost 50 years what are the positive influence confraternities has had in Nigeria at large? share your thoughts 1 Like

Professor Wole Soyinka did not create cultism but was among 6 students of UI that formed the confraternity which metamorphosed into cultism in various forms and shapes. Though the outcome may not have been what they envisaged, they have to share the blame. Back in the days one of the people that formed the initial confraternity in the person of Professor Muyiwa Awe (professor emeretus UI physics department) took it upon himself to educate particularly new students against the dangers of joining the cults including the so called pyrates that claim they r not a cult group. He organised seminars and so on. I remember him saying that though their intentions were not for evil, "their symbols from the very beginning were evil and demonic". He dedicated his time to really speak the truth about these things. I saw it as some form of restitution. If Soyinka can shed arrogance and totally condemn cultism including dissociating himself from pyrates confraternity and not try to justify it with one grammer or the other, it will go a long way especially as many young people see him as a role model and want to join cult because "Wole Soyinka dey pyrates. Na him start am sef". 18 Likes 1 Share |

No time did Muyiwa Awe describe Pyrate Con fraternity as evil, he has denied making such a wild comment severally in his many rejoinder since that twisted interview he had with Thisday in 2002. If you must know, the said Muyiwa Awe still relates with us till today. Enough said. 6 Likes |

It is lazy to go with the line of thought that Wole Soyinka contributed to the menace of cultism in Nigeria, we can as well blame the missionaries for the woes of the pentecostal churches in Nigeria today! Every good action is subject to manipulation by the evil doers, the challenge before us is to fight all these evils with knowledge. 12 Likes |

[b] Generally, I think the parents are to be blamed to a large extent. Most parents have failed to educate their children in that aspect. The stvpid thing is that, most people believe in this fairytale of weilding much power to oppress and intimidate, get great connections with powerful and wealthy cultists, earn respect, gain favours from other cultists such as lecturers, CEO etc. But, that's the biggest fallacy ever. Disadvantages includes: once you join a cult group, you automatically become a sworn enemy to other endless arch rival cults, hence your life I great danger forever except you denounce. The government clamp down team will get you anytime. You'd face oppression from other superior members of your homogeneous cult. They will send you to inflict wounds and sometimes kill people deemed as enemies and in the end you might die in the process. You'd be subjected to paying dues always. You'd be forced to do drugs. And finally, you'd be an enemy to your dad, mom, yourself, you siblings and the earth. Don't let it take all your energy. #Don't do cultism... [/b] 11 Likes |

They should be blamed for it if they had brains as they claimed, they would have envisaged what the outcome would look what form of silly 'intelligence group' will you form with a skull and two bones on? And call yourselves sealords?? they knew their intentions and what you're seeing now is the outcome!! I blame them for starting a 'gang' in the first place |

The cultists that go on rampage on our campuses leaves nothing but trails of blood and tragedy in it's wake.. Even the six students who formed d 'group' back then did it 2 revolt against authority.. So what are we not saying? We shouldn't even be asking who's to blame.. The security operatives only have to be active and do their job. You only need to witness the 'colonisation of a jew man' on d streets of Ekosodin 2 know why these guys need to be shown d right way again.. |

Cultism is almost non existence in today's world joreh... Everybody dey chase money. Just the same way our Generals now have pot-belly, Politicians don't even Murder themselves anymore, they just plan and agree on the sharing formula. Same way with Cultism. .

Anyone blaming Prof Soyink/Prof Awe for cultism must have myopic brain. Nobody can force you to join organization. During my UG days in UNIBADAN i joined five student organization voluntarily, no one forced me to do it, i was pleased with their aims and objective. So any student or any individual that joins club , he/she is responsible for their action. No society must be held responsible. 1 Like |

The evil that men do, lives with them. Yes, the six men didn't have the intention of forming the kind of deadly cult groups we have today. But if truth be told, they were revolting against constituted authority. This same Soyinka wore a mask and tried to take over a radio station. whatever be the case, Soyinka and his brethren sowed the seed of cultism in our society. 1 Like |

School fraternities are common especially in America. Normally these fraternities have objectives which are completely legit. To me Soyinka did no wrong. The people who did are those who turned it into a blood sucking venture years after he started it.

The military junta is to blame for hijacking the fraternities and arming them specifically with the aim of harrassing lecturers, deans and vice-chancellors they felt were against them. That was how it all began. You can't tell me those boys are to blame, because even in established universities like Harvard, Stanford, Utah, Vanderbilt and Columbia, there are non-violent fraternities recognised and respected even by the school authorities. But down here in Nigeria, they were hijacked by the oppressive military government for their own benefit. It all started with them. 5 Likes |
