That doesn't in any way absolve cultism of the danger it poses to one's future and its gravitation toward taking participants to an early grave.

However, being alive now as well as the next minute is in every case a chance to repent and turn a new leaf. Cultism is bad, reprehensible, unchrístian, unislamic, and inhumane. The future it promotes is dim, full of despair. Plus being a cultist is capable of making ''Gone Too Soon'' sooner than one thinks.

Virtually all the elected politicians were former cultists.

Cultism Doesn't Pay

Cultism never pays.... Don't delve into it

Cultism is just one of the guaranteed highways to hell. No doubt about it. But the main issue is that our so called politicians were the founding members of these cults

CaptEColeJnr:
Cultism never pays.... Don't delve into it

It pays... You'll surely reap what you sow. Whether hood returns or bad returns

There is no gain in Cultism as it ends in pain if one continues on that deranged path.

Too bad

true.

Who cultism epp

Cg

Ok

Agulimah:

It pays... You'll surely reap what you sow. Whether hood returns or bad returns

Well.. I understand your context.. but a situation where u suddenly become a target for your rivals and enemies.. you suddenly become a potential corpse.. That definitely is not PAY.

[color=#990000][/color] say no to cultism.. it doesn't pay though. cos of the law of karma is always avoid available .. who claim to be rugged but have no rest of mind always on the Run

Its unfortunate that many young innocent students still fall into cultism. There is really no gain in cultism

Those who gave a fvck about cultism are in the
Cementery.

Avoid/Shun Cultism if you have ur life to live. No gain in it

It's high time some reputable social organizations like the below reorient themselves and pull out of the streets, polytechnics and state universities to preserve their honor.

Bucaneers Association of Nigeria
Neo-Black Movement.

I've always feared meeting one...thank God my school is safe from that
