What Do I Do When Approached By Cultists? by Emmiasky(m): 4:52pm On Dec 11, 2019

Know Your Stance
People need to know where they stance on the whole act of cultism, many people join when approached is because they didn’t keep a correlation plot with cultism and the other problems faced, hold on their stand or they never even had a position on CULTISM to begin with, keeping a tab on your values, understanding the things you want and those you don’t would surely help you decipher between what you should be doing and what you should not and if in anyway getting involved in cultism is one of the things you placed your stand on that you won’t be joining, know this within you in your heart and mind that you will never join because ‘the sweet talks can be really tempting’ and can be ideology-bending – having to not read or work for good results is not something many students really would love to drop for the stress of lectures and so much other life-shaping activities faced in school and life.
Give An Ambivalent Answer
Some certain sets get the option of choice when approached with the pledge and when this is so, the best way to get out of that situation right there is to leave an answer that would not mean Yes, I want to join and accept all the gifting the three dark-wise men from the east come bearing or a No, I am not interested in your occult – you guys can leave my room now, Thank You! – and the reason is that the former already puts you in cage, to them you’ve accepted and this is seriously bad for business as continuously, you’ll keep getting invited for secret meetings, initiations, jobs and failure to show up for these things makes one a rogue and to them, such an offence is usually the capital punishment, the latter on the other hand is worse off as you could get beaten to a pulp, killed, threatened and forced to join in on what you don’t so leaving the blank void is the best way to escape such a ghastly situation.
When asked the big question it’s best to not pick an option between life (death) and death, just leave them hopeful but not optimistic as regards your answer. You may tell them you want to test the waters and see what’s going on, you’re new to the system and would get back to them later.
Communicate Right but Not Rudely
Cultists want people to fear them, they feed on this fright people have for them and at every given opportunity, use it to mar, molest and hunt them.
Appearing fearful of the men in your company is a sign which shows to them you’re a weakling and that alone might even smear you beatings by the crew without you rejecting their offer, appearing natural and your unperturbed self however puts yourself and them on a negotiation seat and things can go a little more sane – forcing your will on them however is not an advisable thing to do and the beating might still come into play.
The whole idea is to see these guys as mates you don’t know seeking information from you and not as Zeus’ or Hades’ descendants making a request from you.
Inform a higher figure or an authoritative figure
As indicated earlier in the article that of most cases, one major problem students face is that they do not usually know who to run for help when such cases arise and this abruptly leads them to making wrong decision. Meeting up with a higher figure, a lecturer, it might even be a senior in the school who has had such experiences and discussing with them is one way help can arrive faster.
However, individuals should understand that most cults usually trail their targets, especially pending ones as such to confirm whether or not such an individual is trying to sell them out and it would be wise to be extra careful with who you meet and where you meet them during this period.
It’s might be who you don’t know or who you even know who might be your monitor and shares information on what you do, who you meet and what you discuss even.
N.B: I am not sure if such a facility is available but if so, students should meet up with counselors who’re working directly with a dept on cultism affairs.
Ensure the Safety of Relations
Not everyone gets the free hand when approached with cultists, some (more) get threatened with death, beating, unwanted visit of their families, friends on campus and so on if they don’t comply with their demands, and this puts such individuals in an unsettled position which destabilize them, what’s best in such a maze is to ensure is that one’s relations are safe before taking other actions, whether it includes getting policemen to handle the task or school authorities to take it up, ensuring the safety of those who mean dearly to you is one thing that must be done.
Involving Law Enforcement Agencies
This is one advantage people have but under-utilize as most cults do not want to have things to do with the Law and its agencies, involving them in your lives and ensuring they (the group) sees this is going to be a smart move, however, you need to ensure it is not a threat to them as this would only cause more ruckus and problems.

Oga if you report them to police especially the ones for p.h nah to vitimize yourself be that. Rather when they approach you, preach to them, they would leave you on their own.

Some point I will love to contribute too;
1. CULTISM IS FOR CHILDREN: is only a child that believe that he has to join one or through group or body to win challenges, YOU MUST NOT BE A CULTIST TO BE A STRONG MAN. Every entities have his life level of operations, try to move according to your life channel operations. Don’t wish to be like anyone so no one be like you, with this you’ll understand that you only have time for yourself and yourself will level you how to operate the best.
2. CULTIST ARE NOT STRONG BUT THE WEAKLINGS: when you’re a Ju, 48, animal and nobody. You operate freely and can go anywhere and anything you can with no fear of what can swiftly take your life (Rival) and this you have to do 24/7, most cultist can never be able to defend his/herself freely at any public matters at all time.
3. MIND YOUR BUSINESS: the last time I checked the main key to long life is minding your business. When you mind your business cultist fear you be you new or old in the creek, YES! they will always seek way to get to you and know who you be/ who goes you?? Of course you are suppose to be expecting it supposing the Hood has those kinda stuff. When they seek to know you maybe in a confrontation or otherwise, be yourself and always answer exactly what you’re ask one at a time looking deep eye face to face with the questioner, kill the fear and realease soft smile even if they see you as fool, this smile will help kill your fear and you’ll be able to soak their pressure too. If it get rough make a smart move and RUN to safety.
4. CULTIST HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH NON CULTIST: when the confrontation goes on like I was saying in 3. Always make the questioner know you have nothing you want to share with them or you never have whatsoever interest in stuff of that nature then you can bring in that you live a Godly life, your family get 5 security agent (lies), your two uncles na pastor or priest (lies), then you have like two lawyers in your family (lies), then your Parents or guardians will murder you immediately they know you ever joined cultism. This will make this people free you immediately because they don’t want any business to do with the Law or religious and this will help you so they will never think of taking you unaware either for beating/itt/baming or whatever.
5. GIRLS: Never fight for girl instead if you have the gut then make peace at all time. Date decent girl and always keep lite record of what your rival date thinks about you (9ja girls can date 20). because he may be a cultist, when your girl complain of a cultist toasting her teach her the above skills I listed here 1-5.

(I only advised you because some years ago people where running for me, but now I bring people closer and let love leads)
