Deadly effects of cultism

CULTISM causes loss of lives.  Cultists are liable to die young. It may kill faster than HIV/AIDS.

Young people have to be enlightened on the adverse effects of cultism on them.

Imagine a 16-year-old boy being identified as a cultist: this would be so troubling.  So is the case of secondary school leavers celebrating marijuana in public.

The dreaded cult group, Badoo boys and some other groups have to be handled with seriousness so as to avoid further  spilling of innocent blood.

What has come over our youths? These vices have to be curbed so that our younger generations would not be affected negatively.   Young people have to be educated on the adverse effects of being a cultist.

Every cultist is liable to premature death. Whoever kills would also be killed. Cultism leads to guilt and shame, expulsion from school, national disgrace, security risk and so on.

Parents, school managements and non-governmental organisations have to stand in gap between their children and the society at large through sensitisation.

However, youths of all ethnic groups should always bear this in mind as a counselling therapy everywhere they go: they have to stay away from bad friends.

Youths need to be assertive and say no to cultism.
