Ignorance is, not having knowledge of situations you find yourself, a State of being totally unaware of facts about things around you. But, do people still realise their State of Ignorance and acknowledge that they are ignorant about certain things? This is the story of the victim of the recent cult clash in Cross River State University of Technology, Calabar. He was a 500 level Electrical/Electronics student of the university only identified as James.
Fraternity on school campus at the beginning was not formed to be a war gang, it was not envisaged to be a platform to be used to intimidate and rape girls and was not for dull brains. It was to be a pressure group for smart and intelligent boys and girls who are conscious of what injustice is on campus and out of campus and were ready to fight it using civil disobedience and other non-violent means. The deterioration of what fraternity is, and the violence associated with what is later known as cult groups today in our campuses, raises a question in my mind about, if actually members of cult groups in our campuses actually knows why they are members or why they should be there in the first place.
Seeking for admission into any Nigerian University is a harculean task and one could imagine what it's is for parents to keep a young boy or girl in school for five years. The school fees , accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses, the reading for those that are serous, leaves one in doubt If this young boys and girls actually have knowledge of the pains their parents, brothers and sisters will go through when they recklessly will allow themselves to be killed at when much is expected from them.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING A CULTIST ON CAMPUS?
1. You will be called a hard man on campus
2. You can intimidate and rape girls on campus at will
3. You may be able to work your way through and pass you courses without even reading and attending lectures (In some schools, not all?
4. You want choice girls
Like the Bible would say, some ways that seemeth right unto man sometimes ends with destruction
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF BEING A CULTIST ON CAMPUS)
1. You may be killed before your graduation
2. If not killed, you may be attacked and disfigured permanently
3. you may some times not graduate out of the fear of preventing not to be killed while writing your final exams because that is when your rugedity(please allow me to use this your word) is tested
4. You may rusticated by the institution.
As a young man or woman, why allow ignorance kill you? compare the benefit and disadvantage of being a campus cultist and decide for your self now.
My people perish because of lack of knowledge, that is what the Bible says.
Make haste while the sun shines, James the hard man has passed on ignorantly and have paid the ultimate price for IGNORANCE. Learn from his mistakes and do not let it get to you. BE WISE
May His Soul Rest with the Lord, Amen
