July 2005In Nigeria, University fraternities have taken on brutal extremes. Students are being murdered and defiled with impunity by vicious cult members. 'It was a baptism of fire' recalls vice chancellor of University Benin. 'They cut his head open and flipped it -- like a cap, so that the brain matter and everything splattered around the building'. Over 80 Nigerian students have died in gruesome attacks by cult members in the last two years. No-one has ever been convicted. Cultists are often found to be children of prominent Nigerians and are often used by the regime itself to intimidate, maim and kill opponents. Cult leader, Meyer, explains how he uses the police to exact revenge on his opponents: 'We guide the police, pick them out to get them killed'. Universities are supposed to be the future of developing nations but a vocal minority here are trying to keep Nigeria in the Dark Ages.

Jul 7, 2008 - i find rather disturbing the ignorant remarks made about the speaker. It only goes to show the level of intelligence of certain individuals. The speaker is a well known and respected elderstatesman, a nobel laureate, something that most of these poorly educated viewers are yet to understand. It is disheartening to know that this is what Nigerians have to say about one of the country's best international representatives.

Jul 7, 2008 - wow how something so positive became evil and negative.

Jul 7, 2008 - Cultism is a strong hold that is holding back our youths (even parents) and if not handled now, i wonder the world the next generation will live in. Wole Soyinka has to do more in this fight because he started it all though not for what it is known for today. The problem is these cults are financed by the well-known/influential figure 'big men' in our society. You police men guiding these people when they are going to their meetings, who then is going to arrest them? We all have to turn to Jesus

Jul 7, 2008 - so true my friend! Sad but true, why do people not see it?

lovephranky9 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - honestly , i keep wondering why some dumb-ass illiterates like 'topgear213' would'nt keep their mouths shut if they ain't got nothing to say !cultism is a very deadly thing and we all need to join hands to eradicate it .Prof Wole Soyinka is trying his best and should be commended. when he started Pyrate confraternity PC, he hadn't the faintest idea what ugly monster,killing- machines that would emerge from it..

jakesalive Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I find this so hypocritical and typically Nigerian. Prof Soyinka forgot or deliberately ignored the fact that Pyrates members are also involved in some of the violence (including maimings and killings) on campuses.

bombastic716 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Nigerians are stinky, greedy, dirty, lazy THIEVES. They are also hypocrites and very LOUD.

jakesalive Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Bombastic 716 don't you think you've gone too far here? There are millions of very decent, honest, hardworking and very intelligent Nigerians at the very top of their game. I do agree that there are a few who fit your description but a huge majority of Nigerians are decent, hardworking folks.

bombastic716 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - jakesalive have you spent an extended period of time in Nigeria? I have and I can assure you that there is a very deeply entrenched culture of thievery over there. Your claim that a majority of Nigerians are honest is ludicrous. It is true that there are many decent Nigerians, but they are not numerous or powerful enough to counteract the insane level of thievery in that country. And anyone who has been to Nigeria can attest to Nigerians' appalling lack of hygiene.

williewailers Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - It's obvious that u are a sailor. If u should tell the truth, this whole shit started from Pyrates Confraternity. D Buccaneers 1st broke out followed by the vikings & so forth. If Soyinka is against it he & his cohorts should have disbanded his group. He avoided mentioning his group when he was listing cults. ONLY THE TRUTH CAN SET US FREE.

williewailers Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - My earlier statement was in reply to ot137927.

Jul 7, 2008 - There is strong evidence to prove, that nitrifying bacteria is poisoning Nigeria,it's effect on males is devastating.

jnwokeoma Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Bombastic 176,watch your mouth because you sound more ignorant than a cow,how can you use the sin of few people in nigeria to judge all nigerians,damn ,you've got a low brain

alldway42 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Where are you from? Let me inform you of how Nigerians have contributed (Posively)to what you, your family or your country have achieved today.You are not INFORMED. You must be INFOMED to learn how to respect people and Nigerians in particular.

alldway42 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Those of you that are calling our dear PROF WOLE SOYINKA to question. Can you link him directly to one cultist killing, rape, thuggrey, assasination, robbery or someone that have the same ideology of the Neo Black Movement.Give respect to who it is due.SAY NO CULTISM AND SAY YES TO PEACE

alldway42 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - YOU ARE FINISHED

bombastic716 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - cows are superior to Nigerians.

Jul 7, 2008 - Plus sa pue plus qui aiment ca vivre dans marde.Awey faites en des bebes

onaifoda Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Cultism in Nija is as desribed, but there are also bustling intellectual activities, community development activities, and many numerous other socio-polictal, economic activities. I don't understand why the prof would avoid mention of the Pyrates when listing the worst of the cults- probably not intentional.A complete documentation would have been some inclusion of positive life. An outsider would get a very wrong impression of Nigeria from this documentary.

iiiMiL Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yeah, I've definitely just got the wrong impression, and the video has not finished.
