CULTISM’S SOCIOECONOMIC AND POLITICAL EFFECT ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN HIGHER INSTITUTION
ABSTRACT
This study focuses on the socioeconomic and political effects of cultism on students’ academic performance in tertiary institutions. In order to carry out the research, a questionnaire was created and distributed to both students and faculty (academic and non-academic) at the College of Education in Ekiadolor-Benin.
The collected data was analyzed and interpreted. It was discovered that power, security, wealth, parents, peer group, and other factors influence the growth of cultism in schools. In light of the findings, recommendations were made in the hope that they would help reduce cultism in schools if carefully considered and implemented by concerned individuals, organizations, and bodies.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Cultism is a state in which people are united by a common belief or course, usually through rituals. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a “cult” is a system of worship that is usually expressed through ritual. According to this definition, cults, now properly known as confraternities, have taken on a monstrous appearance in our institution of higher learning.
To that end, various campuses that were previously a mode of intellectual quest have become citadels of violence and terrorism. Cultism began in the late 1950s, but the first (secret) cult in our institution was the popularity of sea dogs known as (pirates). It was formed in 1952 by seven men gang men led by professor Wole Soyinka of the then university, college, Ibadan, and there was nothing secret about it.
The primary goal is to move the country forward while fighting colonial oppression. The “motto” says one thing we all agreed on: there will be no room in the club for colonial mentality. According to Ehigie (2007), there are several major reasons why students participate in secret cult activities.
Protection: Many inexperienced students join one or more secret cults in the name of being protected by cult leaders who cannot even protect themselves.
Popularity: Many students join cults because they want to know where they are at all times due to their various activities.
Superiority: Some other students believed that as cultists, they were superior to non-cultists (Jews).
Access to girls: Many boys believe that cultists trust girls and will have no shortage of girl friends. In the opposite direction.
However, the cult’s activities have shifted from its original plans. It is now said that cultist activities are all evil and satanic, and that the youths who will be the future leaders of this nation are involved in these activities (cult). If cultism is playing our citadels of learning, where our youths’ minds and character are sharpened for good, then the very foundation of national development is shaky. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of cultism on academic performance of students at a selected tertiary institution in Edo State, Nigeria.
