One may wonder why some innocent and well behaved students sometimes are victims of cultist attack. Yes! some of them are negatively influenced and initiated into cultism. To a new student who is admitted into a school that has records of cultism, the following steps can be taken to stay off their attack or influence.
(1)Avoid close friendship from cult members. Close friendship with cult members is an easy way to initiation or being victim of attack from rival groups, since you might be around when he/she is targeted.
(2) Avoid late night partying especially in secluded areas. Most victims of forced initiations are from night parties which occurs most times outside the school campus. Also, most attacks are targeted at night parties.
(3) Keep a low profile
These groups like the membership of rich students or students with rich and influential parents. So they try hard to lure or coerce such ones to join them. this is because they are prospective financiers. To avert this, it is good to keep a low profile and abstain from showing off ones wealth or influence in the campus.
(4) Be identified with a religious group. It is said that light and darkness have no relationship. Being a faithful worshiper of God, will scare them away from you. Therefore, while at school, join a Christian body and be dedicated. This indicates that there is no room for false religion like cultism.
(5) Avoid undue rivalry with cultists.
It is a safe practice to avoid undue confrontation with cult members. Attack on any of their member attracts reprisal deadly attack from them. Rivalry and fight for girl friends which is common among boys should be avoided. In all cases as much as possible, it is good to seek for peace.
(6) Stay off their colours and slangs.
They are identified by some dress pattern or colour in most occasions. Flying their colours attracts them and it can result to molestation.
While at school, all efforts should be focused on achieving the primary goal of being in school, which is graduating with befitting grade.
