ediko5:


You are a real hypocrite.
Did any of my comment talked about joining cult rather than kick against promoting of your financial gain through cults?
I'm not one of those who will come to this thread to sing praises to you. Maybe you just skimmed through my post.

You said many are called and few are chosen? Who are the "Many" you are calling? Is it hundreds or perhaps thousands on the streets who directly or indirectly were lured and initiated into evil and barbaric acts of cultism through you? Do you know how many people who are currently into cultism that you directly lured, or initiated the person who later initiated the person who later initiated the person that initiated them?

Oga don't be an hypocrite, you expect everyone to come here and clap for you?
It's people like you that will later open a church and start tagging people witches and wizard indiscriminately.
I have noticed all your responds to people's comments, you bashed at everyone that doesn't sing praises to you. Show me any where you positively countered any criticism in this thread other than return insults to a critic.

I still laugh at the myopic ones who said they want to show this thread to the young ones to avoid cultism. This thread promotes cultism more than it condemns it.

Hello everyone,

Firstly, There is no need for quarrels or insults. We are not here for that.

I usually will not come back online to argue with anyone or try to prove so much to someone online, most especially when it's a faceless forum and there is also less information about a person or group of people. Secondly, when the person does not have enough idea about the topic that is being discussed.. Most times people with little or no information about a particular subject always feel they must say something, instead of just sitting back to watch and learn from a distance.

I will like to say something again and it might be the last I will write concerning this topic.

I am just laughing here at comments, criticism, and responses from individuals who know nothing about cultism, apart from the dictionary meaning of what cultism is.

@Ediko You said he should have left out some stories, so as not to make it look as if he is glorifying cultism or his prowess during his old life. I must say, those stories were necessary, because it came from the horses mouth, someone who has obviously and practically seen it all, a repented man.

You have come now to say that this post promotes cultism, which was not and is not in anyway the main aim for the OP's posts. One thing you should know is that, it hurts when you try to save people from fallen into something that you know would cause them so much pain and harm or even their lives, and then some people who have no knowledge on what he is talking about or people who want him to stop this revelation, would make it look as if he is glorifying cultism and his own exploits. Hence, the anger in his responses to those people.

The OP picked on a guy who wrote a quote that he the OP formed when he was still a cultist, and also the OP was quick to let him know when and where that quote was formed and also wrote out the correct quote. Even the young man could not counter it. Obviously that young man has not seen anything, or he just did not want to use KF in other not to cast himself. But last last, the OP schooled him.

I would like you to know something, There are only few young men that you would tell about cultism and its negativity without having to spill so much that would listen to you, understand what you are talking about, and would also clearly stay off it. But majority of the young men these days need to be told almost about everything that is negative and evil concerning cultism. Demystify it. If you have to plead, please do.

@Ediko, Someone earlier responded to your post, by talking about how there are disadvantages and advantages in almost everything in this life, but most importantly, it is about weighing the options and choosing the right one. Some people do not weigh, it is those people he is trying to help. Those who think cultism is a joke.

If the OP was a dead man, many of you would still know nothing about cultism other than the definition as the dictionary puts it. But he has spilled it all and now you know. He has seen the darkness in it, By God's grace he has now found the light and truth and wants you all to see it too.

Do you know if the OP had just said "SAY NO TO CULTISM" and ended it that way, This thread would not get to where it is now? Secondly a lot of you will still know nothing about cultism in Nigeria, including you. Thirdly, so many will not be saved. But I believe so many people have seen the purpose of this thread, in which the sole aim of the OP is "SAY NO TO CULTISM" .

Someone also read, and showed a younger one this thread and the thought of joining is already out of the mind of the young one.

Please people, spread the message; SAY NO TO CULTISM, SAY NO TO CULTISM, SAY NO TO CULTISM

To the OP, as long as your aim is what it is, and what is glaring too, do not be deterred.

One Love Y'all

Let me narrate a short story that came to my table 6 months ago.

Two brothers where killed within one month in a cult war . A lady cried to me that her eldest son was killed by armed robbers in school . Two brothers staying together and they decided to have fun at the club and the youngest of the brothers decided to invite his crush also . They both left to the club with the lady who happens to be a student also . They got to the club house and after about 30mins, three guys stormed the club house as they traced their Ibakas girl to the club house on the orders of their ibaka. They found the girl with the two guys and fight erupted between them . They took the girl away and the girl returned the next day with swollen eyes . The two brothers thought the issue had been settled . Three months later, some guys stormed their and killed the eldest of the brothers . I visited the lady at home and found the youngest one and we had a quick chat and he explained how the robbers stormed their home as he was in school then and how they shot his brother . He told me his neighbours told him everything . I noticed when he talks, he uses black axxe slangs . I then said to him ,

Me: you remember person wey I know for Benin for football field , that day, you goal keeper fly zero (0) , the defender wear one (1) , the defensive midfielder wear four (4) and you wear seven (7) that day.

He replied : clear road for my lord , oga DSS .


Me: you brother wey drop Na strong man also?

He replied ; yes Na strong man, Na my links man self ( lm, meaning his elder brother took him for the initiation)

I had to do this to get my self more info on how his brother was killed and if truly he was killed by armed robbers . The younger one returned to school and was also shot dead the next day . The mum called me and told me dotun was shot dead. I called the caretaker of the hostel and told him to please stay clear from the crime scene on feder government instruction. I got to the scene of the murder with my colleague who was a member of the eiye confraternity . We got to the scene and he laughed and said eiye killed him. We started the investigation and we sent a spy to the eiye camp . A renounced eiye member did the job . He intelligently penetrated into the nest of that particular school and became close to the ibaka and during one of their discussion, the ibaka revealed all that happened as he trusted everybody with him . He also revealed the external men he used for the job . We arrested the men that did the hit and the ibaka ran away to India . We have declared him wanted .

They have rendered the poor woman without a son. This is what cultism can do to someone . Be wiseee!!!!!!

First of all, I want to thank the OP for the courage and sacrifice he has taken to pass this information to existing and also intending members who wish to join one confraternity or the other. The simple message he has passed is SAY NO TO CULTISM just like his moniker.

I also want to thank God Almighty for giving him the grace to have a change of heart and being able to confess his sins and also renounce being a member of the Confraternity, aka (NBM , AIYE, EGEDE MEN.).

I believe everything he has said. If he lied or added fake stories, I don't care. Being that I come from the South South of Nigeria and having schooled at the University of Benin and also having cousins and friends who are members of , MAPHF, EIYE, BUCANEERS, VIKINGS, I can tell you with complete assurance and confidence that, cultism is bad and would remain evil. I would not like to tell stories of what I have seen with my two eyes or the stories of my uncles, brothers and friends who have renounced and are living peaceful lives overseas, because if I do, you might have nightmares after reading.

To all those who think he is trying to promote or cultism in one way or the other, you must be stupid and unreasonable. All he has done is tell his story as an ex member of the . If he was of another cult group, he would surely tell the story of that same cult group and everything he did. So please use your brain.

To you Eltafari who think he acted on his own accord, I am completely stunned and weak. Like seriously ? You claim to be a graduate of Chemical Engineering and coming out with a first class, but you have just shown you did not even near the four walls of the university. You want to explain your ideology when there is a war or to prove that you are a different cultist ? lol. I am laughing out loud as i type this. Lets take the example of a football club, when the team loses a match , does a player who has a contract and was on the bench during loss, say he did not lose because he did not play ? Is that not foolishness.. The OP has given you the perfect example if this one sounds hard for you to comprehend.

To you Patheos, the OP is a changed man and has chosen to spit it all out, that is how you know a repented man. If anyone here decides to impersonate or use any information here to perpetrate any evil after being cautioned and told how anything relating to cultism is evil, then OYO is the case.

Please brothers and sisters, educate the young ones let them know that cultism is evil and there is nothing to gain from it. Absolutely nothing.

To all those who want to renounce and repent from cultism, you can do it. Seek God first and the important authorities like DSS, Army etc and you will be able to achieve it.

''SAY NO TO CULTISM''

To the OP, may God give you the wisdom, courage and protection you will need in this good cause that you have embarked on. I have you in my prayers.

God bless you all. Amen.

Personally I have a problem with that statement and I will tell you why. I could be wrong tho and I freely admit it.
When you say migrated from Bini empire...several assumptions are implied.
1) The fugitives who ran for their lives from whatever area of the Bini kingdom they resided were pure Bini people.
2) These Bini people apparently were NOT Igbo people and hence had to use an interpreter to communicate with any Igbo people they
encountered on their outward flight
3) How these fugitives managed to bypass Agbor and the present Aniocha lands without meeting with Igbo speaking peoples but Bini
people all the way is yet to be explained...when you consider the fact they came bearing Igbo names.
4) Its either all the places they got to and settled where settled by non-Bini natives or were bare empty lands...when you consider all the stories
of foundings by Bini "princes" who promptly forgot their language in the shadow of Bini just across the border.
5) By their own claims and counter claims, they had nothing to do with Igbos and only encountered them in passing

Why then is the overwhelming presence of Igbo language,deities, market days and culture the MOST significant trait among these descendants
of Bini "princes"? Like all you see is Bini styled political hiearchies among an overwhelmingly Igbo community.

You see, its either some people are trying to so hard to deny an Igbo presence way back in the old Bini kingdom or the Bini kingdom back then
was surrounded to the south by native Igbo peoples.
I think there were Igbo people in the old Bini kingdom and they were the ancestors of the present Anioma peoples today.
Come to think about it, once you leave Bini and move down south, all you meet is communities of people speaking various Igbo dialects,
from Agbor to Asaba to Ukwuani/Aboh.

Cos there was no way a Bini "prince" could have established a pattern of settlements DIFFERENT from what other known Bini fugitive or non-fugitive princes have established. The examples of Ginuwa in Itshekiri and Asikpa in Eko come to mind.
Not to mention the numerous Bini suzerainties in Ekiti and Ondo today who have acclimatized to the dominant Yoruba culture.
But trace back and you will find the Bini thread linking back to old kingdom without controversy.
These people do not deny their Itshekiri or Awori roots, they gladly point out that their monarchies came from Bini.
They merely adopted the system brought by the Bini visitors and acclimatized them to their native language and culture.
Why is the Anioma case different?

I do not think it is that easy for Bini "princes" to come out running from Bini speaking Igbo and bearing Igbo names.
No my dear, it is highly implausible.
Why did they have to cross the Niger? Why not go further south or further West?
Are you aware that they even journeyed farther into the Igbo hinterlands of Oguta?
Going by all the published works of Onicha/Anioma origins, these fugitives should NOT be Igbo speaking, but speaking at worst
a corrupted Edo tongue and practicing at worst hybrized forms of Edo traditions.
You and I know this is NOT the case.
What you have is a case of a group of migrants who were Igbo speaking from day one.
And what you have in their midst is clear evidences of an Igbo speaking people who were socio-culturally and politically influenced by Bini.

And yes, the superiority thing is actually a form of inferiority complex.
No one invaded them or forced them to differentiate themselves from the "inferior" ndi Igbos.
They are the ones doing the attaching and detaching, as by all accounts, the people they call "onye Igbo" never copied them or their Bini style monarchies or Bini style political hierarchies.
You wont see any vestige of their much acclaimed Bini language, culture or what not among the hinterland Igbos.
So there is no chance of corruption of their core "Edo" language or culture by the hinterland Igbos.
It was the Bini fugitives who copied, adopted and appropriated everything Igbo. Is that not the reality?

It is so glaring that the Bini titles were borrowed when you consider the titles or "afa etutu" of Onicha titled men.
Iyase, Odua,Onowu, Owelle title holders etc all have Igbo proper prefixes like Nnanyelugo, Akunne etc.
Monarchy in Igbo land is a British phenomenon like you know and had the British not intervened, its more than likely the Igbo clans
would have continued in their decentralized system that has been working for them.
Infact it is on record that the early warrant chiefs created by the British who transitioned into "kings" paid Onicha chiefs to tutor them on kingship rituals and ceremony.
Prior to then, the cultural dominance was Igbo through and through...and it was not forced or taught. It was native.
Bini influences and exposure to Bini style monarchies marked the difference btw the Igbo speaking peoples across the Niger along with their Onicha, Ogbaru and Oguta cousins...and the hinterland Igbos.

In summary, I think all available evidence point to the fact the people who fled Bini (methinks its actually Bini environs) and moved from Agbor all the way down to Oguta were native Igbo people. Not Edo and have never been Edo till date.
The names they still bear, their market days, deities, cultural practices...all point to this fact.

Ofcourse, I would love to see contrary evidence. I have been scouting for it.


From every explanation, narration, opinion and argument concerning the origin of the people in Anioma, this is the most reasonable I have read. I am from Ibusa and I am Igbo. Nothing can change it, except God comes from heaven and tells me I am not.
