Cultism in Nigeria

Transcript

00:02 Good day students.

00:14 My name is Eberechi Nwaeze,

00:15 and welcome to Civic Education class,

00:17 today we're looking at Cortezin.

00:19 By the end of this class,

00:21 you'll be able to explain the meaning of Cortezin.

00:24 You'll be able to identify different court groups

00:26 and their symbols.

00:27 You'll also be able to state the original reasons

00:30 for court groups.

00:31 You'll be able to explain the consequences of Cortezin,

00:34 and lastly, you'll be able to discuss

00:35 preventive measures against Cortezin.

00:38 So now we're going to our lesson.

00:40 Cortezin has a secret code.

00:43 So when you come across a secret code,

00:44 you also know that it's very far to ask Cortezin.

00:47 A secret code is a group of people

00:49 whose activities are carried out in exclusive locations

00:53 and at all times we start exposing themselves

00:56 to their own intimate.

00:57 Cortezin is an organizational association,

00:59 group or body of persons whose memberships

01:03 meet in and all the activities are kept secret,

01:07 which promotes courses or engage in acts of violence,

01:10 intimidation or harm in whatever manners

01:14 against the other opponent or any member of the public.

01:18 Cortezin is a secret code,

01:20 by the way, it secretes their activities

01:21 unknown to the public or it's kept to themselves.

01:25 And these groups have been seen to be intimidating

01:28 other members of the society or other members

01:31 of other Cortez group.

01:35 Now I want to look at some Cortez groups in Nigeria

01:37 and their symbols.

01:38 First, we have the National Association of Sea Dogs.

01:41 It's also called the Pirate Confertanity.

01:45 We also have the National Association of Sea Lords

01:47 commonly called the Bucania Confertanity.

01:51 Then we have the Black Acts.

01:52 We have the Dinosmen K-Club as the Vikings.

01:56 Then the Supreme IA Confertanity.

01:59 These are not the only code groups in Nigeria.

02:01 These are also now we're looking at the symbols.

02:04 The National Association of Sea Dogs,

02:06 which is also known as Pirates Confertanity,

02:09 the logo is the skull and the bones.

02:12 They are also known as the sea dogs.

02:14 Then we have the Bucania Confertanity.

02:17 On the logo, it has a yellow background.

02:19 Then the skull, the bone, and Cortez.

02:23 And their slogan is Snoop Prize No P.

02:27 Then the Black Acts, the Black Acts is a symbol

02:30 with the ants' chains and the ants' trying to court the chain.

02:34 Then we have the Vikings.

02:36 This is the logo.

02:37 There's a symbol.

02:39 Then the Supreme IA Confertanity.

02:43 This is the logo.

02:44 They also refer to as the sea, as the air loads.

02:46 And the logo, the symbol, is the bird.

02:51 Now we want to look at the origin of Cortez in Nigeria.

02:54 We want to look at our Cortez came to be in Nigeria.

02:58 The L.S. knowledge of Cortez in Nigeria

03:00 was in 1952 when some students in University College of Badon

03:04 came to get out from the Pirates Confertanity.

03:08 And this paracobacteranity is not known

03:09 as a national association of sea dogs.

03:13 If a mission of this group, please take note of this.

03:15 The formation of this group was to respond to various groups

03:19 that were based on ethnicity, wealth, and our connections

03:22 with the colonial powers and struggle by post-students

03:25 to cope with the conduct of advantage students.

03:28 When this group originally was formed,

03:30 that was the Pirate Confertanity.

03:31 It was formed to support the less privileged

03:34 these advantage students, and those

03:36 been oppressed by colonial powers.

03:38 It wasn't from originally to cause violence

03:40 as it's been seen today in the society.

03:43 The Pirate Confertanity was open to all male students,

03:47 irrespective of origin, race, wealth, opposition,

03:51 provider that you have good grades,

03:53 and sound academic records.

03:55 This is to tell you originally it wasn't for violence.

03:58 The Pirate Confertanity was registered

04:00 as a national association of sea dogs

04:02 with the University College Authority,

04:05 talking about the University College of Badon.

04:07 It had the authority of the school to register the group

04:10 at the time.

04:12 And the court was set at the right wrongs, fight justice,

04:14 and defend the oppressed.

04:17 But what happened?

04:18 In the 1970s, there was a big increase

04:21 in the number of court groups.

04:22 That was when the original purpose of courtism

04:24 in India was hijacked.

04:26 And there was a break from the Pirate Confertanity.

04:30 And the people broke up and went to form the Bukharniya.

04:34 Then in the early 1990s, witness a further increase

04:36 in the number of court groups in the university

04:38 and other institutions of London.

04:41 There was a black ass, CIA, the Supreme Vikings,

04:44 in the total of Jesus Bell, black berets,

04:47 the scorpions, the Amazon's, and the Saharu boys.

04:51 Now I want to look at the reasons for their establishment

04:55 and joining of court group.

04:56 You know, by examining why people joined court group

04:59 and why court group came into being

05:01 a white court, quite a number of court groups

05:03 where in India came into existence.

05:05 First, for Christ of power and influence.

05:08 Some people love to bully others.

05:11 Love to influence others.

05:12 Love to have edge over others.

05:14 For this reason, some joined court group

05:16 to gather power and influence to intimidate their victim.

05:19 Another reason why people joined court group

05:21 is for Christ for refuge.

05:23 In some cases, they may be intimidated by a court group

05:26 or intimidated by a lecturer or by a co-student

05:29 in order to seek refuge

05:30 through or by convincing to intimidation.

05:33 Some people join court groups.

05:36 Then revenge.

05:37 You know, we've viewed join court groups

05:39 to seek revenge for acts committed against them.

05:43 We've got an example of a mere student,

05:44 perhaps he acts a lady ad and a lady refuses.

05:47 If he's a way out, his generally a court group

05:49 I'm using is power and a court to influence the lady

05:52 or going into relationship with him.

05:55 And in some cases, for the ladies,

05:56 it would be being intimidated by a guy

05:58 or being intimidated by a court group or a court group ed

06:01 or being intimidated by a lecturer

06:03 and feels if I join a court group

06:05 and I have them behind me, I am safe, I'm secured,

06:10 but that's not it.

06:11 Then, for parenting, in some cases,

06:13 some children relax, the basic home training.

06:16 They don't know the right,

06:17 they don't know how to differentiate

06:18 the positive and negative values

06:20 and they end up in courtism.

06:22 Then reward from school authorities and lecturers.

06:27 In some mind-run schools, some top officials and lecturers

06:31 are also court members.

06:33 Some students therefore join this group,

06:34 and also seek favor from these members.

06:37 Again, financial gain.

06:41 Many students join court group for the quest of finance.

06:45 Some of them have been deceived

06:46 if you join us or well, you'd be so okay

06:49 or provide your accommodation or provide you monthly allowance.

06:52 Everything you want, you have it at the snipe of your finger.

06:55 You remember some court groups involved in robbery.

06:59 Then corruption and the government,

07:02 corruption and the government is one of the reasons

07:04 for court groups in Nigeria.

07:05 Some government officials found their baseless money

07:08 and some other negative acts

07:09 are not being rightly persecuted.

07:11 And people feel if the government cannot be persecuted,

07:13 then why should they be persecuted?

07:14 Then I should also enjoy the same benefits

07:16 these governments are joining.

07:18 They have young ones and I am switch on up,

07:20 find them, find it fashionable to indulge

07:22 in all sorts of vices, including courtism.

07:26 Another is academic weakness.

07:30 For some students who are not academic sound,

07:32 and they want to boost their GP or their CGPA,

07:36 they join court groups.

07:38 Because they feel when they join this court group,

07:39 they'll get power and influence

07:41 to intimidate their lecturers to boost their scores.

07:44 I would let you feel so so come to their request.

07:47 They just beat the lecturer up and in some cases.

07:50 Now I want to look at the consequences of courtism.

07:54 The following are some of the negative consequences

07:56 of courtism in Nigeria.

07:59 First, we have expulsion.

08:01 So, when students are formed to be involved

08:03 in courtism, they are expelled from school,

08:05 court in short, or completely the academic career.

08:10 Adda is increasing crime rates.

08:12 The crime rate in our educational institution

08:14 and neighboring communities is only increased.

08:16 Why?

08:17 Courtism is one of the reasons.

08:19 So, these court members rob motorists

08:21 flying the roads near their campuses

08:24 and describe school property when it pleases them.

08:27 In some cases, they involve in modernics.

08:29 So, cases they involve in robbery, in rape,

08:32 and some other negative acts.

08:34 Another consequence of courtism in Nigeria is murder.

08:38 Some courtes have been known to move from their school

08:40 to which who are against other court groups and individuals.

08:44 For instance, in 1997, some sort of the University of Benin

08:49 were killed in an attack by courtes from another school.

08:53 Courtism has led to the increase of modern Nigeria.

08:56 Some of the court groups fighting them

08:58 serving the process of fighting, even innocent people die.

09:02 Again, increase in HIV/AIDS.

09:05 In some administration process in courtesan,

09:08 you find them having sexual intercourse.

09:10 We try to test in the patches.

09:13 And as a result, they have been transformed,

09:15 the HIV from the person to the other,

09:18 leading to the increase in the careers of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

09:23 For instance, they mix and drink blood during initiation.

09:27 And remember that one measure or one body fluid

09:31 that transfers HIV from a person to another is the blood.

09:35 Then lack of peace of mind.

09:38 Just court members, they do lack peace of mind.

09:41 They are not at rest.

09:43 They don't know when the next world will come up.

09:44 They don't know when the next conflict will come up.

09:46 They're not sure if they are safety,

09:48 they're always scared to move around.

09:49 Then drug addictions.

09:53 Most courtes take drugs such as indenheims, cocaine,

09:57 and heroine.

09:58 These additions in the long run destroy

10:00 the body systems which shorten the lifespan.

10:03 Embarrassment.

10:07 Courtesan has become a source of consign in the country.

10:10 The immoral activities on campuses and neighboring communities

10:14 have become a source of embarrassment

10:16 to the university community and the country in general.

10:19 The country has been known as a country

10:21 that hosts so many courtesans,

10:22 which is no good reputation for the country.

10:25 Then bad habits.

10:27 Many courtesans have indulged in bad habits

10:29 such as smoking, a coliseum, prostitution, robbery,

10:33 and a whole lot of this.

10:35 These bad habits do not just expose danger to their health,

10:38 also punishes the image of their country,

10:40 punishes the image of their homes they are represented,

10:43 and the image of their institution which they belong to.

10:46 I want to look at preventive measures against causes.

10:50 We've seen the reasons why people join court groups.

10:53 We've seen the consequences of causes them

10:54 and we realise that courtesan is no good.

10:57 So we want to look at preventive measures

10:59 where courtesans could be fight against in India.

11:02 First, good of bringing.

11:04 It is a duty of every period to lay the foundation

11:07 of good of bringing for their children.

11:09 You shouldn't leave teaching their children

11:11 the right values so they teach us the law.

11:13 Charity, they say, begins at home.

11:16 They are religious instructions.

11:18 Religious groups should organize

11:20 regular programs for young girls,

11:22 whether they are elected them on social morals

11:25 until they are against joining groups that are anti-social.

11:29 Another way courtesan can be prevented in Nigeria

11:32 and in the world is by her body, by rules and regulations.

11:36 Students will be made compulsory to abide by rules and regulations.

11:41 I believe in every school there is a rule and regulation

11:43 against courtesan.

11:44 When they abide by these rules and regulations,

11:47 they will be decreasing courtesan in Nigeria.

11:50 They are the media.

11:51 They are also the responsibility of the media

11:53 to propagate the consequences of courtesan.

11:58 The media should join other organizations

12:00 in campaign against courtesan and their destructive measures.

12:04 They should also ensure diligently

12:07 that content they produce, do not promote negative vices.

12:11 In some cases, some content that has been released,

12:13 promote negative vices.

12:14 They give it to the idea, oh, I think I should join this.

12:17 There are some positive gains or there are some gains in this

12:20 where on the other side it is increasing courtesan

12:23 or other negative vices in the country.

12:25 Then, the potential of those who renounce.

12:29 In most cases, we see that those who renounce

12:31 from their court groups are being killed at renouncing.

12:35 But when these people are protected,

12:38 other acts will be encouraged to pull out of courtesan.

12:41 Because just shown of the institution,

12:46 I understand this shown should be discarded.

12:49 The school authority should be able to know

12:51 precisely the number of students admitted into the school

12:54 at the year and are able to distinguish between the students

12:57 and the layout.

12:58 This will help reduce the rate of courtes

13:01 on the school community.

13:02 In many school communities, you forget to find out

13:04 some students are just there.

13:06 In fact, they are even out of schools,

13:08 but they remain there because their courtes

13:10 and their groups are there.

13:11 But when the school is able to distribute their students

13:13 from the layout, they will be able to reduce courtesan

13:16 in their school community.

13:18 That there should be effective community relations

13:20 for proper monitoring of students.

13:23 The students and the community members

13:25 should be in good relations.

13:27 That way, the community could know the in and out

13:30 and the activities of the students.

13:31 And in the case of negative activities,

13:34 right actions could be taken against that.

13:37 Now, since the preventive measures against courtesan,

13:41 let's now look at government efforts

13:43 at preventing courtesan in Nigeria.

13:45 The government have embarked on serious enlightenment campaigns,

13:49 which would help the public, especially parents,

13:52 to learn about the oppression and dangers of courtesan.

13:55 And these campaigns should be taken seriously

13:57 by parents and other members of the society.

14:01 I had a measure that government has put in place

14:03 that has ensured that the aid of universities

14:05 mandates to stomp out courtesan in their institution.

14:09 This ability has been given to every aid of universities,

14:12 which is a good measure to ending courtesan

14:15 from university campuses.

14:18 Then, subjects such as moral instruction, social studies

14:21 and civic education have been made compulsory in schools

14:24 across all levels.

14:25 That is why today, we are learning about courtesan in class.

14:28 This subject related to students of courtesan

14:31 are providing good moral teaching, which

14:34 will be provided today.

14:36 The government has embarked on huge empowerment.

14:38 We discovered one of the reasons for courtesan is financial

14:41 again, so people because of poverty, the joint courts

14:43 group, and the government have embarked on youth empowerment

14:46 programs in several areas of the country and in several sectors

14:50 to ensure that youths are brought elevated out of poverty.

14:53 When this is in place, it will reduce the rate of people

14:56 joining court groups for financial gain.

15:00 With this youth empowerment program,

15:02 the rate of poverty would reduce,

15:04 or such, the reduction in courtesan.

15:08 Now, we've come to the end of today's class.

15:09 So we'll be taking a few evaluations

15:11 to test your knowledge and see if you really understood what

15:14 has been taught into this class.

15:16 The first evaluation question in section A,

15:19 you are to choose only the right option, the first question.

15:24 Where was the first known court group in Nigeria

15:26 established?

15:28 University of Benin, University College of Badan,

15:31 University of Lagos.

15:33 I remember you are to choose only the right option.

15:35 The next question, which of the following

15:37 is not a cause of cultism in Nigeria?

15:40 First, we have discrimination, second poverty,

15:44 and third, equity.

15:47 The original of cultism in Nigeria

15:48 can be traced back to Daesh, 1950, 1960, 1952.

15:57 Cultism is also called Daesh.

15:59 Remember, at the beginning of the class,

16:01 we said that cultism is also called another text.

16:03 Then we have a secret club.

16:05 Then we have secret cult B and C, open society.

16:11 Skoll and Bun is a symbol of what cult group?

16:14 A, Black Axe, B, Vikings, and C, the Pirate Confertanity.

16:21 Now we are in section B. In section B,

16:23 you have to answer all the questions in this section.

16:26 First, you have to define secret cult

16:29 and second, you have to state the five consequences

16:32 of cultism in Nigeria.

16:35 Now, of come to the end of today's class.

16:37 Thank you for watching.

16:39 My name is A Bridge, you are noisy.

16:40 It's the next time.

16:42 (upbeat music)
