prof..remember say na u b d reason y we have cultist in our skul 2da cus u stated it wen we are u are in U I, abacha regime and bokoharam regime which 1 is wrong, and sir which of the Nigeria leaders can swear with is His God dat he as not kill directly or indirectly...u receive d award or not he does not move if they didn't put ur name der wat wil u do sir.

I read some senseless comments on this topic like yours and I think you need to be enlightened a little bit on what Soyinka did then.What he created was not cultism but fraternity(it means brotherhood) the aim of a fraternity is to protect and to preserve a particular tradition or  to achieve a particular goal,politically,academically or socially.. I have seen  and live with such fraternity in the country where I am studying... What you have in Nigeria today are some educated hooligans who claim to be cults.The fraternity I know here are not idiots like the cults you have in Nigeria, they live by certain rules which favours their academics.Check the difference between cultism and Fraternity in your dictionary...

I'm genuinely surprised at some pals line of reason.  How could one find a parallel between cultism in our schools and the most brutal regime of our times and clime ??   State orchestrated murders, decimation of whole towns and villages and travesty of justice were the hallmark of Abacha's regime,  it's in a different platitude compared to the petty gangsters that are roaming our schools today .
  
It will be the epitome of injustice to compare a crude illiterate with a woeful limitation, a dangerous sociopath like Sani Abacha to a brilliant scholar, and a humanist like Wole Soyinka .  
Well said facts....thank you....

the cult he set up was to correct the wrongs of lecturers, which
he defended in the Oputa's panel, when he was called. while
the opposite one was the Ant-cultist, that was against them

Just arguing blindly out of hate instead of doing factual research to understand the trend of events.
