Naija too much don show with another exclusive
Tori Wey go teach every student sense for Nigeria.
The NTA network news had just been completed by the duo Cyrill stober and Ruth Benamisiaopia. Reverend James Akinwale Akinyemi stood up from the settee he had sat on since 9:00pm when the news started. He walked reflectively to the center of the spacious sitting room and stopped. He wanted to sit down again but later changed his mind and entered his bedroom instead. The room,located on the right hand side of the sitting room contained a seven inches bed, wardrobe, dressing table and all other conveniences. His wife - Folake - though has a room of her own shares this room with him. He entered and sat on the edge of the bed still in deep reflection.
Suddenly, he stood up, picked up a bunch of keys, his torch and bible which he had kept on a small stool in the room since 8:00pm when he came back from the revival going on in his church. He called out to his wife who had been very busy in the kitchen, "Dear, i want to get to the church, i'll be back soon". Folake was surprised and questioned him, "Daddy, but we came back from the church just about an hour ago? Why are you going to the church and i'll be back soon". with this statement barely out of his mouth, he stormed out of the house. Folake knew then that something had happened. She could not recollect when her husband addressed her as
"Woman" last. She Knew that her husband was going to pray,but could not just figure out what the subject matter could be and what made it so urgent.
Reverend and Mrs. James Akinwale Akinyemi live in the vicarage of Ascension along Olorunseyi road in Ayepe. The church and the vicarage are located on an expanse of land which is close to three plots . At that time of the night, there were no members of the congregation around. Apart from this family of four, the only person present again was the night watchman at the gate. The light in his cubicle could be seen from the sitting room. The church itself is just about a stone's throw from the mission house. In fact, most visitors of the vicar and his wife often prefer having their services in the sitting room to going into the chapel. However, this is one thing Reverend Akinyemi will never condone. Once you are in the vicarage you must attend services in the church.

History, CAUSES,EFFECTS,ORIGIN, SYMBOL, CONSEQUENCES Of Cultism/confraternities In Nigeria - Education
In Nigeria, a confraternity is a group that is nominally university-based, though 'street and creek' confraternities began in the 1990s. The first confraternity, the Pyrates Confraternity was created as a social organization for promising students.
However, as new confraternities were formed, they became increasingly violent through the 1970s and 1980s. By the 1990s, many confraternities largely operated as criminal gangs, called "campus cults" in Nigeria. Besides normal criminal activity, confraternities have been linked to political violence, as well as the conflict in the Niger Delta.
In no particular order, here are the "Top 7 Confraternities in Nigeria and their History"
Pyrate Confraternity
Ahoi-Seadog
In 1952,
Wole Soyinka and a group of six friends (Ralph Opara, Ikhehare Aig-Imokhuede, Sylvanus Egbuchie, Nathaniel Oyelola, Pius Oleghe, Olumuyiwa Awe) formed the Pyrate Confraternity at the elite University College, Ibadan, then part of the University of London. According to the Pyrates, the "Magnificent Seven", as they called themselves, observed that the university was populated with wealthy students associated with the colonial powers and a few poorer students striving in manner and dress to be accepted by the more advantaged students, while social life was dictated by tribal affiliation. Soyinka would later note that the Pyrates wanted to differentiate themselves from "stodgy establishment and its pretentious products in a new educational institution different from a culture of hypocritical and affluent middleclass, different from alienated colonial aristocrats". The organization also known as the National Association of Seadogs (NAS) adopted the motto "Against all conventions", the skull and crossbones as their logo, while members adopted confraternity names such as "Cap'n Blood" and "Long John Silver". When fellow students protested a proposal to build a railroad across the road leading to the university, fearing that easier transportation would make the university less exclusive, the Pyrates successfully ridiculed the argument as elitist. Roughly analogous to the fraternities and sororities of North America, the Pyrates Confraternity proved popular among students, even after the original members moved on. Membership was open to any promising male student, regardless of tribe or race, but selection was stringent and most applicants were denied. For almost 20 years, the Pyrates were the only confraternity on Nigerian campuses.

A major impetus for the creation of new confraternities was the fact that members of the new groups simply did not meet the high academic and intellectual standards set by the Seadogs, and thus considered the original organization to be elitist.. Different notorious cult groups had emerging without check from the concerned authority, unleashing terror on humanity and posterity.
