The issue of cultism in Nigeria can be very aptly summarised by this
few words: Nigeria is a "Nation of Hypocrites." And I will elaborate
with these few words from an article titled with the quoted words:

"Infact, cultism is now so firmly entrenched in the nation's culture
that: if you see a businessman, a pastor, a governor, or a
vice-chancellor; walk up to him and call him a cultist - to his face.
Should he deny the allegation, he will be merely living up to the
culture of hypocrisy that pervades the entire society. For you cannot
achieve anything more than a stipend in this country without being a
cultist. And even that stipend (if you're ever allowed it) will be
handed out to you grudgingly; with all others of the hideous culture
calling you names such as "coward," "loser," and "lazy man" - merely
because you chose the straight and narrow path to make your own money,
rather than join in their evil gangsterism. The hypocritical society
calmly condones this culture in private, while heavily condemning it
on the pages of newspapers; mounting podiums in public to denounce
cultism in public - while in private? They are all patrons of these
evil groups."

Face it, Miss Muyi: Had you not "belonged" - and you definitely know
what I mean - your words would not be "frontrow" on the front pages of
newspapers; whilst not one word is uttered by printed Press concerning
an atrocity so vile, noise of which is made so loud the Media makes it
a point of duty to celebrate the cutting of Ikoro Iyineleda off out of
life.

Nigeria is a nation of hypocrites. Please leave primary school
children to learn from their own mistakes. Had Michael Jackson been no
more throughout life but a dutiful student, he would never have been a
star by the age of five years old. And he's just one example amidst a
myriad of others in more honest societies.
