Why is it that is only this aiye cult group always have problem? It means their orientation is very bad bcos 90% of the cult groups that always have problem is from the so call aiye and the foolish one's still joining them and when they catch them they will start crying that they where mislead but then it will be too late to cry because no second chance  and the law doesn't accept ignorant n mistake.
