‘We Owe Allegiance to Eiye Confraternity’ — Revelations by Lagos Secondary School Cult Members

It was past noon on Friday. Euba Senior Secondary School, Mushin, Lagos, was conducting a valedictory ceremony for its graduating class. Oju Eko, Ebony and Lege (not real names) manned the gate, collecting money from their fellow students and visitors who had come to grace the event.

“Who are these boys?” This reporter asked a student of the school after observing them for a while. “They are the powerful students,” he said.

The toll they were collecting would be used to buy dry gin, Kolos (a hard drug) and the likes, and then they would gather behind a classroom to gamble and drink, ‘the powerful students’ told this reporter after engaging them like a cult member from one of the tertiary institutions in the country.

“We owe allegiance to the Eiye Confraternity,” one of them said. Eiye is a popular cult group in Nigeria, and that gave them dominance in the school.

CULTISM IN LAGOS SCHOOLS
Facts and figures suggest that cult activities may be on the rise in Lagos elementary and secondary schools, especially those owned by government. Seven pupils were arraigned before an Ebute Meta magistrate court in May 2017, for instance. Four months later, police brought 12 junior high school students before a trial court in Ikeja for a similar offence.

In May 2019, 12 public school students, between ages eight and 16, were caught during initiation into the AWAWA cult group. And recently, the family of late Sylvester Oromoni, a student of Dowen College, Lekki, who died after experiencing serious pain from body injuries, said he was attacked by cultists in the school.

Idi Araba High School

“Last week, we led a supremacy fight to Idi-Araba High School, and one of our members was stabbed,” said Oju Eko.”But the fight was against our protocols.”

One of such protocols is Brother Delivers Brother (BDB). “Why were brothers fighting brothers?” he asked. The Idi-Araba boys they fought last week were also members of Eiye. Oju Eko could not see the reason he had to partake in such a fight.

The trio had realised up to N3,000 from the toll they were collecting. Any students that passed there gave them some money.

Oju Eko, Ebony and Lege said they were the gang leaders in the school. Ebony, however, lamented a mass failure that reduced the number of their members.

“We were close to 50 in SS1, but when we wrote a promotional examination to SS2, many of us failed,” Ebony told FIJ. “Since then, they have stopped coming to the school, except on certain occasions like inter-house sports.”

INITIATION BY TERTIARY INSTITUTION STUDENTS
They told this reporter that many of them were initiated by students of tertiary institutions, who held strong positions in their various schools.

Lege was brutally initiated at Yaba College of Technology. Ebony underwent the same process at the Lagos State Polytechnic, Isolo, while Oju Eko was initiated in a hotel in Lagos.

“On Sundays, we converge for meetings at various suburbs of Lagos, like Mushin and Agege,” Lege told FIJ. “During these meetings, we redefine our focus and pay dues to advance the course of our association.”

He said everything discussed in the meeting remains a secret. “Secrecy is one of our protocols,” he said.

From Euba, Idi-Araba High School, Obele and Atunrase Secondary School, cult groups operate strong networks. Often, they end the week with brutal fights.

TEACHERS ABETTING CULTISTS

In Euba, the school principal and some teachers preach to the hardened students to change their ways.

“The principal assemble them every morning, advising them to shun social vices,”said a student at the school.

But that was not the case at Atunrase. Students who spoke with FIJ said some teachers, who had now retired, abetted students who participated in violent activities.

“The three teachers would often teach the wayward students how to fight their counterparts in other schools, and would protect them when security officers came,” a student said.

Foundation for Investigative Journalism

13 years old joining cult. Some 14 years old are doing yahoo yahoo. They want to drive Benz and BMW at 15. These boys are not even 18 yet. No A levels, no O levels, no GCE, no JAMB, nothing! They want the most beautiful girls, fast life, what not. Life doesn’t work that way.

“Tor omo re ko le fun e ni isimi.” Train your child so they can give you rest.

So what’s the point of dis post?

Anything to advance the cause of population control in this country is welcomed.


People breeding like rats and neglecting overseeing the development of their children.




I nearly beat one upcoming miscreant to coma the other day. He went to call on his superiors and since nobody wants to die, they died the issue on the spot.

Me that was already allocating them military detention and torture timetable in my mind.

Very soon primary school will join this rubbish

Am I the only one that remembered Dowen College?

Lol

The future is bright


Nice one from the future leaders of tomorrow

Nigeria jagajaga everything Scatter scatter.

Cultism in Nigerian secondary schools is not a new thing.
If you happen to school in one of the public secondary schools in places like, Ajegunle, Mushin, Ikorodu, Agege, Ebute mẹta, Oshodi and the rest of them.

You will have a better understanding of what the reporter is trying to portray.
This students indulge other schools in fights almost every week.

Why?
They're fighting for supremacy amongst themselves.

Idiots destroying their future. Ignorance is a disease. I wanted to blame the parents for bad upbringing but I remembered the Dowen students

This is becoming unbecoming

When I saw idiaraba high school!

I said to my self fish out the teachers

Hmm, that means there is nothing good that will ever come out from that school.

Parents will not blame themselves for failure of proper upbringing but shift every blame on Tisa.

Infact, I pity people in teaching profession .

Nigeria government and each state government need to reduce the influence of cultists in all institutions

Since Buhari became President, everything in Nigeria turned upside down

Lagos and cultism

5 and 6

Even for ajah here...dem dey kill dem sef anyhow

Abeg free those boys o, As P2 wey I be, they had to pay dues.

Hmmmm obvious signs of a society that is seriously failing.

Then I saw Atunrase formerly known to be Atunrase Boys' High School notorious for producing alagbara Bois and male teachers them until Jesus arrested those students .
Obviously na teachers hand work

Things don bad reach like this? Secondary school

Shameful

Yoruba and cultism are 5&6

This is saddening

G
