The 8 most dangerous cult groups in Nigeria

Nigeria is a multi-eth ic and culturally diverse federation which consists of 36 autonomous states and the federal capital territory. With abundance of natural resources, Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil exporter and has the largest natural gas reserves on the African continent.





Tribalism which is the state of being organized in or advocating for, a tribute or tribes has been used interchangeably with ethnicity to describe or analyse various forms of anomalies in Nigeria's Nation building.

In Nigeria today, Tribalism has dominated national discourse, controls how people think and talk, and determines what the support or oppose. It is being promoted and elevated by politcal elites and are embraced by the young and old, and even have base in the nation's constitution. Most conflicts in Nigeria is being fueled by ethnic competition and has thus made Tribalism to become more of a threat rather than a course of National pride

Tribalism has flourished because the Nigerian elites have conceptualized development as transferring resources from civil public to primordial public thereby making Nigeria a failed state which is being backed up by cultural and value decadence, fragile political structure, poor leadership and frequent ethno-religious crisis.



Some of the Downsides of Tribalism in Nigeria include;

Inability to fight corruption: In Nigeria, there is this unwritten tradition that forbids citizens from exposing or prosecuting fellow tribesman for corrupt practices. Corruption tendencies are exhibited and laws violated yet such individual invoke ethnic sentiments to get away from it and/or prevent prosecution.

Employment: Majorly, employment guarantees or awarding of contracts has become a function of ones tribes person in position of authority in Nigeria. Merits and excellence are sacrificed on the altar of primordial thinking.

Politics of Division: The constant rise of politcal tensions in Nigeria is mainly as a result of avoidable clash between forces of democracy and that of tribal interests. The power-play in politics have negatively influenced a tradition or emerging mentality of political office rotation mainly between the North and the South.

Distrust: One of the basic impact of tribalism in Nigeria is a culture of distrust amongst various groups in the country.

Promotion of Mediocrity and suppression of Justice: Tribalism is flourishing in Nigeria because it has become an effective tool that gives the user an edge in the eternal struggle to gain government patronage. It is also used politically to cover abuse of office and to escape justice after leaving office.

In conclusion, Tribalism has exposed the Nation to bizarre conflicts with loss of life and properties, creating uncertainties in politics. There is need to re-educate or re-oriente the political elites on the constant danger of using ethno-religious cards to acquire electoral offices or leadership positions. This trend must not be allowed to continue.

The way forward
¶ Amending the Constitution to adequately address clauses that abrogate powers to ethnic or regional structures

¶ There is need for a fairer resources management tht would be acceptable to those who pay the human and environmental prise for Nigeria's oil powered economy.

¶ Nigeria must control corruption by making stealing impossible and prosecution Swift and certain

¶ Nigeria must learn to enthrone transparency and accountability in goverance.

Workshop heavy equipment accidents that are devastating and heartbreaking

Wars and conflicts are menacing, devastating and dangerous. Battles win wars, redraw borders and topple thrones and are instrumental in moulding the future. They influence the wide spread of culture, civilization and religious beliefs. Battles also introduce weapons, tactics and leaders who dominate future conflicts. Some battles have also been influential not for their direct results but for the impact of their propaganda on public opinion.

Below are ranking of Battles according to their influence on history with detailed locations, participants, leaders of the battle and provides narratives on who won, who lost and why and the impact on the victors and losers.

VIENNA


(Austrian-Ottoman Wars, 1529)

The Ottoman's unsuccessful siege of Vienna in 1529 marked the beginning of the long decline of the empire and thus the end of Islam's advancement into Central and Western Europe, and ensured Christian dominate the region.



In 1520, Suleiman II had become the tenth sultan of the ottoman Turks empire spanning from the person frontier to West Africa and included much of the Balkans. Suleiman has just inherited the best trained Army in the world. At the heart of his Army are the specially trained Janissaries which made the sultan to begin plans on expanding his empire even further

Suleiman also has to his name, one of the best Navies which he used to besiege Rhodes(his first conquest) granting safe passage to the defenders in exchange for their surrender. In 1522, the Sultan took control of Rhodes and much of the Mediterranean.

By 1528, Suleiman has conquered Hungary and placed his own puppet on their throne leaving Austria as the only blockade between the Turks and Western Europe. Taking advantage of the discord between Austria and it's allies, Suleiman made a secret alliance with King Francis I of France, making him withdraw political support from the Austrians; leaving King Charles of Austria and his Austrians to stand alone against the Ottoman-Turks.

On April 10, 1529, Suleiman and his Army of more than 120,000 and accompained by 200,000 support personnel and camp followers departed Constantinople for the Austrian capital of Vienna raiding and pillaging towns and countryside for slaves and supplies.

Vienna under the able military command of Count Niklas Von Salm-Reifferscheidt and Wilheim Von Rogendorf prepared for the impending battle. The entire Austrian Garrison numbered about 20,000 soilders supported by 72 cannons had reinforcement of 700 musket-armed infantry men from Spain.

Despite it's disadvantage, there were several natural factors supporting Vienna's defence; the Danube blocking any approach from the North, Werner waterway runniyalong the Eastern side thus leaving only the West and southern sides of Vienna to be defended. One other factors greatly aided Vienna. The summer of 1527 was one of the wettest which greatly aided in delaying the Ottoman's advance and made conditions difficult for the marching army.

Upon his arrival and Austrians refusal to surrender, Suleiman layed siege on the city and began artillary barrage against it's walls of which the Austrians greatly repelled. By October 12, the Austrians have inflicted great damage on the Turks and for the first time, Suleiman has failed. The Ottoman-Turks army had no choice but to burn their camps and withdrew back to Constantinople.

Following the battle at Vienna, the West no longer viewed the Ottoman-Turks and their Janissaries as invincible and thus stopped the Turks advance into Europe; instead the Ottoman-Turk empire's power and influence began it's slow but steady decline.



WATERLOO
(Napoleonic Wars, 1815)

The defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo in 1815 brought an end to French domination of Europe and a period of peace that lasted for half a century. It ended the French legacy of greatness which they have not recovered from; etched it's name in history's best known battles and the phrase "Waterloo" has come to be known as "decision and complete defeat".

In 1789, during the eruption of the French revolution, 21 year old Napoleon abandoned his junior officer position in the king's military to join the rebellion. He was instrumental in supressing a Royalist uprising in 1795 for which his reward was the command of the French Army.

Between 1799 and 1890, Napoleon carried out a successful coup and becoming the country's defacto leader. He established the Napoleonic code, assured individual rights and instituted a rigid conscription system to build and even larger Army. He invaded Austria, expanding the French border line with his offensive nature and leading France to war with the British in 1803.

Following his self declaration as the Emperor of France in 1804, Napoleon acheived numerous victories in wars that spanned for 8 years thereby making new enemies in the process. Following his Naval loss at the battle of Trafalgar, Napoleon successfully invaded Russia claiming that military might is on land and not sea.

By the spring of 1813, Britain, Russia, Prussia and Sweden allied against France at the battle of Leipzig in which the French forces were defeated forcing Napoleon to withdraw to southern France.



At the urging of his loyalist, Napoleon exiled himself on April 1, 1814 to the island of Elsa near Corsica Spain. Less than a year later, he escaped exile and sailed to France where for the next 100 days, struck terror across Europe and threatened once again to dominate Europe. The then king of France King Louis XVIII, dispatched the French Army to arrest the nuisance Napoleon but the French forces instead rallied to his side forcing the king to flee from the country and Napoleon reclaiming the throne.

Again the coalition agreed to assemble men together in Belgium to invade France following the news of Napoleon's return. On hearing the news, Napoleon assembled his men to war before the coalition could organize themselves.

By the early hours of June 18, Napoleon and his Army arrived mount Jean in Waterloo, a small village outside of Brussels to engage in war against the coalition forces. More than 26,000 French forces were filed and another 9000 captured at Waterloo. Allied casualties totalled 22,000 and thus marking the defeat and decline of the Napoleonic era.

France never recovered it's greatness after the battle at Waterloo. Through the passage of time, Waterloo has become synonymous with total defeat but while the war brought an end to one age, it urshered in another. Although France lost, the spirit of their revolution and individual rights spread across Europe. No kingdom or country would again be the same.



ATOMIC BOMBING OF JAPAN
(World war II, 1945)

On August 1945, the United States of America dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to hasten the end of the world war II. It was the first and only use of such weapon of mass destruction till date.

After the attack of pearl harbor by the Japanese forces, the Americans launched a small carrier based bomber raids against Japan which did little to dispirit the Japanese forces. It was not until late 1944 that the United States mounted a sustained raids against Japanese soils following the capture of the Marina island.

Despite the continuous air raids and shrinking territories, the Japanese forces fought on.

By July 16, 1945, the Manhattan engineer district of the United States of America successfully carried out history's first atomic explosion. The then president of America realised that the atomic bombs; the most terrible thing ever made could shorten the war and prevent numerous allied forces casualties during ground invasion of Japan, leading to July 27th ultimatum " Surrender or the US will drop a super weapon" but the Japanese refused.

In the early hours of August 6, 1945 the United States of America dropped an atomic bombs code named "little boy" at Hiroshima. 3 days later, they dropped an even larger one code named "fat one" at Nagasaki bringing the total death toll from the two explosions to 130,000 people and total destruction of the two cities, leading to Japan surrendering in August 15, 1945 and end to the world war II.

There can be no doubts that the dropping of the atomic bombs shortened the war. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the only time airstrikes affected the outcome of a conflict.

In addition to speeding up the conclusion of world war II, the development of the atomic bombs gave America unmatched military superiority and gave rise to massive technologically advanced world. It also brought to an end to Japanese Asian superiority and gave way to the rise of China as a force of it's own.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has
recorded 8,527 road traffic crashes (RTC)
across the country from January to date,
Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi
Kazeem, said.
Mr Kazeem told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja
that 4,163 people were killed in crashes
during the period.
This would give an average of about 12
people daily since the start of the year.
The official said that 59,724 people were
involved in the road crashes in which
14,425 vehicles were involved.
He said that 4,163 people died, while
27,408 were injured in the accidents while
27,523 escaped without injuries.
Mr Kazeem added that 621,776 offences
were recorded during the period and
555,991 motorists were apprehended and
penalised for various road traffic offences.
“A total of 108,759 apprehended offenders
were cautioned and enlightened on basic
safety tips and were allowed to go
without any fine,” he said.

MARSHALS
Mr Kazeem, who frowned at the negative
attitude of some road users, warned that
the FRSC would intensify enforcement
and public enlightenment on safety.
“FRSC adopts a multi-dimensional and
holistic approach when it comes to
achieving safer motoring environment.
“Every year, the corps does a general
assessment and analysis of its strategies
so as to strengthen areas where we made
progress and work on areas that we could
not achieve much in preparation for the
next year.
“It is this inbuilt consistency and
dynamism that has helped us achieve this
much in crash reduction and the Corps
has already swung into action,” he said.
Mr Kazeem said that the FRSC had
constituted an aggressive engagement of
stakeholders and major fleet operators
other than enlightenment to reduce
statistics of road crashes.
“Key road safety issues that will
drastically bring down crashes associated
with the fleet have been agreed upon.
“Aside that, in the event of any
breakdown, strategies have been put in
place to ensure prompt removal of all
broken down trucks and others on the
road,” he said. (NAN)

Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven,
exult, let Angel ministers of God exult,
let the trumpet of salvation
sound aloud our mighty King's triumph!
Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods
her,
ablaze with light from her eternal King,
let all corners of the earth be glad,
knowing an end to gloom and darkness.
Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice,
arrayed with the lightning of his glory,
let this holy building shake with joy,
filled with the mighty voices of the peoples.
(Therefore, dearest friends,
standing in the awesome glory of this holy light,
invoke with me, I ask you,
the mercy of God almighty,
that he, who has been pleased to number me,
though unworthy, among the Levites,
may pour into me his light unshadowed,
that I may sing this candle's perfect praises.)
( V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.)
V. Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up to the Lord.
V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is right and just.
It is truly right and just, with ardent love of mind
and heart
and with devoted service of our voice,
to acclaim our God invisible, the almighty Father,
and Jesus Christ, our Lord, his Son, his Only
Begotten.
Who for our sake paid Adam's debt to the eternal
Father,
and, pouring out his own dear Blood,
wiped clean the record of our ancient sinfulness.
These, then, are the feasts of Passover,
in which is slain the Lamb, the one true Lamb,
whose Blood anoints the doorposts of believers.
This is the night,
when once you led our forebears, Israel's children,
from slavery in Egypt
and made them pass dry-shod through the Red Sea.
This is the night
that with a pillar of fire
banished the darkness of sin.
This is the night
that even now, throughout the world,
sets Christian believers apart from worldly vices
and from the gloom of sin,
leading them to grace
and joining them to his holy ones.
This is the night,
when Christ broke the prison-bars of death
and rose victorious from the underworld.
Our birth would have been no gain,
had we not been redeemed.
O wonder of your humble care for us!
O love, O charity beyond all telling,
to ransom a slave you gave away your Son!
O truly necessary sin of Adam,
destroyed completely by the Death of Christ!
O happy fault
that earned so great, so glorious a Redeemer!
O truly blessed night,
worthy alone to know the time and hour
when Christ rose from the underworld!
This is the night
of which it is written:
The night shall be as bright as day,
dazzling is the night for me,
and full of gladness.
The sanctifying power of this night
dispels wickedness, washes faults away,
restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to
mourners,
drives out hatred, fosters concord, and brings down
the mighty.
On this, your night of grace, O holy Father,
accept this candle, a solemn offering,
the work of bees and of your servants’ hands,
an evening sacrifice of praise,
this gift from your most holy Church.
But now we know the praises of this pillar,
which glowing fire ignites for God's honor,
a fire into many flames divided,
yet never dimmed by sharing of its light,
for it is fed by melting wax,
drawn out by mother bees
to build a torch so precious.
O truly blessed night,
when things of heaven are wed to those of earth,
and divine to the human.
Therefore, O Lord,
we pray you that this candle,
hallowed to the honor of your name,
may persevere undimmed,
to overcome the darkness of this night.
Receive it as a pleasing fragrance,
and let it mingle with the lights of heaven.
May this flame be found still burning
by the Morning Star:
the one Morning Star who never sets,
Christ your Son,
who, coming back from death's domain,
has shed his peaceful light on humanity,
and lives and reigns for ever and ever.
R. Amen.

The Nicene Creed ( Greek: Σύμβολον τῆς
Νικαίας or, τῆς πίστεως, Latin: Symbolum
Nicaenum) is a statement of belief widely used
in Christian liturgy . It is called Nicene /ˈnaɪsiːn/
because it was originally adopted in the city of
Nicaea (present day İznik , Turkey) by the First
Council of Nicaea in 325. [1] In 381, it was
amended at the First Council of Constantinople ,
and the amended form is referred to as the
Nicene or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed .
It defines Nicene Christianity .
The Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian churches use
this profession of faith with the verbs in the
original plural ("we believe", but the Eastern
Orthodox and Catholic churches convert those
verbs to the singular ("I believe". The Anglican
and many Protestant denominations generally
use the singular form, sometimes the plural.
The Apostles' Creed is also used in the Latin
West, but not in the Eastern liturgies . [2][3][4] On
Sundays and solemnities, one of these two
creeds is recited in the Roman Rite Mass after
the homily. The Nicene Creed is also part of the
profession of faith required of those undertaking
important functions within the Catholic
Church. [5][6]
In the Byzantine Rite , the Nicene Creed is sung
or recited at the Divine Liturgy , immediately
preceding the Anaphora (Eucharistic Prayer) , and
is also recited daily at compline .

ORIGIN

The original Nicene Creed was first adopted on
19 June 325 at the First Council of Nicaea. [12]
and a copyrighted translation is still found free
on the internet in the preview of a Creeds book
by the noted scholar Leith on pages 30-31. [13]
At that time, the text ended with the words "We
believe in the Holy Spirit", after which various
anathemas against Arian propositions were
added. [14]
F. J. A. Hort and Adolf von Harnack argued that
the Nicene creed was the local creed of
Caesarea [15] ( an important center of Early
Christianity ) recited in the council by Eusebius of
Caesarea . Their case relied largely on a very
specific interpretation of Eusebius' own account
of the Council's proceedings. [16] More recent
scholarship has not been convinced by their
arguments. [17] The large number of secondary
divergences from the text of the creed quoted by
Eusebius make it unlikely that it was used as a
starting point by those who drafted the conciliar
creed. [18] Their initial text was probably a local
creed from a Syro–Palestinian source into which
they awkwardly inserted phrases to define the
Nicene theology. [19] The Eusebian Creed may
thus have been either a second or one of many
nominations for the Nicene Creed.
The 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia says that, soon
after the Council of Nicaea, new formulae of faith
were composed, most of them variations of the
Nicene Symbol, to meet new phases of Arianism,
of which there were at least four before the
Council of Sardica (341), at which a new form
was presented and inserted in its acts, although
the council did not accept it. [20]
Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed
What is known as the "Niceno-Constantinopolitan
Creed" or the "Nicene–Constantinopolitan
Creed" [21] received this name because of a
belief that it was adopted at the Second
Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in
381 as a modification of the original Nicene
Creed of 325. In that light, it also came to be
very commonly known simply as the "Nicene
Creed". It is the only authoritative ecumenical
statement of the Christian faith accepted by the
Catholic Church , the Eastern Orthodox Church ,
Oriental Orthodoxy , the Church of the East , much
of Protestantism including the Anglican
communion . [22][23] (The Apostles' and
Athanasian creeds are not as widely
accepted.) [24]
It differs in a number of respects, both by
addition and omission, from the creed adopted
at the First Council of Nicaea. The most notable
difference is the additional section "And [we
believe] in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver-of-
Life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with
the Father and the Son together is worshipped
and glorified, who spake by the prophets. And
[we believe] in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the
remission of sins, [and] we look for the
resurrection of the dead and the life of the world
to come. Amen." [25]
Since the end of the 19th century, [26] scholars
have questioned the traditional explanation of the
origin of this creed, which has been passed
down in the name of the council, whose official
acts have been lost over time. A local council of
Constantinople in 382 and the third ecumenical
council (Ephesus, 431) made no mention of
it, [27] with the latter affirming the 325 creed of
Nicaea as a valid statement of the faith and
using it to denounce Nestorianism . Though
some scholarship claims that hints of the later
creed's existence are discernible in some
writings, [28] no extant document gives its text
or makes explicit mention of it earlier than the
fourth ecumenical council at Chalcedon in
451. [26][27][29] Many of the bishops of the 451
council themselves had never heard of it and
initially greeted it skeptically, but it was then
produced from the episcopal archives of
Constantinople, and the council accepted it "not
as supplying any omission but as an authentic
interpretation of the faith of Nicaea". [27] In spite
of the questions raised, it is considered most
likely that this creed was in fact adopted at the
381 second ecumenical council. [24]
On the basis of evidence both internal and
external to the text, it has been argued that this
creed originated not as an editing of the original
Creed proposed at Nicaea in 325, but as an
independent creed (probably an older baptismal
creed) modified to make it more like the Nicene
Creed. [30] Some scholars have argued that the
creed may have been presented at Chalcedon as
"a precedent for drawing up new creeds and
definitions to supplement the Creed of Nicaea,
as a way of getting round the ban on new creeds
in Canon 7 of Ephesus". [29] It is generally
agreed that the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed
is not simply an expansion of the Creed of
Nicaea, and was probably based on another
traditional creed independent of the one from
Nicaea. [24][26]
The third Ecumenical Council ( Council of
Ephesus of 431) reaffirmed the original 325
version [31] of the Nicene Creed and declared
that "it is unlawful for any man to bring forward,
or to write, or to compose a different (ἑτέραν)
faith as a rival to that established by the holy
Fathers assembled with the Holy Ghost in
Nicaea" (i.e., the 325 creed). The word ἑτέραν
is more accurately translated as used by the
Council to mean "different", "contradictory", rather
than "another". [32][32] This statement has been
interpreted as a prohibition against changing this
creed or composing others, but not all accept
this interpretation. [32] This question is
connected with the controversy whether a creed
proclaimed by an Ecumenical Council is
definitive in excluding not only excisions from its
text but also additions to it.
In one respect, the Eastern Orthodox Church 's
received text [33] of the Niceno-
Constantinopolitan Creed differs from the earliest
text, which is included in the acts of the Council
of Chalcedon of 451: The Eastern Orthodox
Church uses the singular forms of verbs such as
"I believe", in place of the plural form ("we
believe" used by the council. Byzantine Rite
Eastern Catholic Churches use exactly the same
form of the Creed, since the Catholic Church
teaches that it is wrong to add "and the Son" to
the Greek verb "ἐκπορευόμενον", though correct
to add it to the Latin "qui procedit", which does
not have precisely the same meaning. [34] The
form generally used in Western churches does
add "and the Son" and also the phrase "God from
God", which is found in the original 325
Creed.
