The problem of cultism should be urgently looked into from all angles with a view to eradicating it.
As I speak right now it is unfortunate that Idah my home town is not safe as those boys are fighting and killing each others now. Government and it's Security Operatives should urgently tackled this menace before it get out of hand.
On behalf of myself and my Family am pleading to all the Youths to desist from Cultist because it's ungodly act, let foster peace in our community so that development can embrace us.
Hon. Ayegba Speak Further
It is unfortunate that the demons of cultism were created by the political class. Most of those seeking elective offices engage the services of youths including students, who they arm. These boys are used to attack political opponents; the same youths turn out to become tormentors on our campuses. Politicians should stop arming students for violence to ensure peace on our campuses and in the society as a whole.
I believe cultism will be drastically reduced if our politicians can play down on violence. The boys will know that they do not have any covering anywhere and they can be held accountable for any atrocity they commit.
The issue should also be tackled by some vice chancellors and their allies, who use cult members to attack student union leaders, who do not submit to them. This has happened in various higher institutions. Managements should stop using the boys for violence and complaining of the nefarious activities of the boys at the same time.
Government should also ensure that enough hostels are built on the campuses and that the hostels are habitable for decent humans. This will discourage cultism. What the school management needs to do is to ensure that students are dissuaded from staying off campus because their activities will be monitored on the campus.
Security agencies should also seek to gather intelligence from various campuses by relating well with students, who would supply them with useful information that can help them.
The most important factor is that parents and guardians should teach their children and wards the fear of God; they should inculcate this in them at the early stage. This will prevent them from being manipulated by unscrupulous persons, who will want to use them for their own selfish interests.
God bless Kogi State
God bless Idah Federal Constituency
And God bless Voice of the Youths Association
