Respect is another concept that cosa nostra holds in high esteem. A full fledged maf man, regardless of wealth, status or influence must accord full respect to The Godfather, his Don's (hierachy office holders), his GF and all others who were in the game before him. Outside the fraternity, it is a requisite that Mafioso maintain a high level of civility and a cordial demeanor hence the basis of their OT: "A Peaceful Man in A Deadly Mood". It is also why they refer to themselves as 'mean' as they hide their sheer cruelty behind a mask of soft spoken politeness. For Cosa Nostra, it is an embarrasing thing for a Son to lose his cool and raise his voice, even when offended unjustly. Better he keep mute, smile and walk away, the time spent shouting and threatening would be better used by the mafioso to plot his revenge. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

Revenge... Revenge is another pillar behind the Cosa Nostra ideology and as such, no amount of resources, time or effort is considered too much in achieving it. "It Is Better for an Unblooded Bastard to chance a Mafioso than for a Blooded Bastard to do so" The reasoning behind this OT lies in what i like to call the 'spectrum of offence'. Mafioso, whilst having a general tradition of vengeance, also carry it out in varying degrees of severity based on the percieved slight against them. For the unblooded bastard (jew/48) whom offends a Son, Cosa Nostra will often avenge the offence in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, taxing, beatings, body disfigurement, robbing the offender of his valuable and occasionally murder. It all depends on the offence. However, when a blooded bastard (member of a different cult) offends a mafioso, the penalty is death regardless of the degree of the offence. 19 Likes 1 Share |

Omerta. The Sicilian principle of silence. Every mafioso follows this code religiously. In essence, one who abides by the code of silence in his affairs is said to follow omerta in that he keeps everything about him private. 7 Likes |

The authorities catch up with you and coerce you to reveal the identities of your fellow Son? Keep silent. Someone attacks/threatens you in a manner that requires retaliation? Keep silent. The cold grip of death dances over you with the revealing of family plans/identities as your only chance at escaping with your life? Keep silent. Such is the way of omerta. 8 Likes |

Their near-deification of silence can be traced to their literal name itself. 'Cosa Nostra' is latin and it literally translates to 'our thing'. Everything about the family stays in the family and breaking the law of omerta by tattling to outside brings about an undebatable death penalty upon the Son who commits such an offence. The only people a Son owes an obligation to be both truthful and sincere with are his Dons, his GF, his elders in the game and his blood brothers (those he was initiated with) in the game. 5 Likes 1 Share |

In regards to attire, Cosa Nostra copies and bastardizes the dressing apparel of the Sicilian mob as of the 1940's. Fedora on the head, long coats, jeans, tough boots. They don't have a colour code as far as i am aware. 8 Likes |

CharleyGold: This was my post earlier. On the death of my LM ju name Kingsley who was killed by Maf men. Altair25: I would have gotten annoyed by this post few years ago. It was just a pity. This was the sane cult group that fell my friend. With the help of some externals from Uyo/Calabar. I was also mapped too for falling. That is by the way. Altair25, just brought back some memories. Well, what is done is done. We should say no to cultism. That something as small as pair of shoes could cause the death of a man. The family confraternity are also unforgiving just like any other cult. There is mo gain in cultism. I may continue later tonight on the aftermath of my initiation process, how it dealt me a blow on me psychologically and academically. . Good Evening. 34 Likes 1 Share |

You guys are overstretching the word cultism. cultism became dirty when it was introduce on the streets. And the first cult group to roll cultism into the streets were the vikings in 1994 at sandfield Borokiri, Portharcourt. They were called beaches and later deywell. The vikings did this in order to counter the dominance of dof pirates in uniport then. The klansmen who broke away from the ayes also established their street gang in 1998 and called them deybam. The ayes and birdmen eiye, had their boys on the streets in the early 2000s, but some argue it was ealier than that saying it was in the late 1990s. Having laid this premise, i want to give a concise exposè on cultism in Nigeria and how it got this ugly...... Please my write ups here is for intelligent minds.

From origin man has this need to gang together for a common purpose be it altruistic or neferious. The allure of the herd instinct it is called. Starting from the rennaissance when over 300 members of the night templars were gruesomely slaughtered by the catholic church so many cult groups became secretive and deadly. If we are to go by the definition of cultism, then even christianity and islam are cults. We've had the, mongols, berbers, vikings, thuggee, mossads and lately,the ku, klu, klans. These were very dangerous groups that killed with unparallel ferocity... Some of this groups fizzled out, but when we entered the modern age in the 19th century, most of this groups were ressurrected and edited and embellished by reknown scholars at havard and oxford and cambridge ........ 7 Likes 1 Share |

Exmilitant:I concur with you, but the menace of cultism you say did not start in Rivers state. Maybe, owing to the dates you put up there, you can say the menace of cultism in Rivers state and its environs. My uncle was a cult member in the then ASUTECH ( Anambra State University of Technology) present day Unizik. That was during the reign of PC. Told countless stories on how he was saved and delivered from rivals. Supremacy started on campus between the AYES AND PIRATES IN THE 80S. IT WAS FROM THE INSTITUTION BEFORE IT SPREAD TO THE STREETS. From your write up which I beg to differ, you opined that cultism took a different toll when it started from the streets/creeks which first broke out in PH. I also wish to add that, before the mid 80s there have always been cult dispute but where not life claiming. Where it went worse was during the military regime, there was a protest held I think in 85 of Babangida's regime shortly after he overthrew Buhari or so. The madness escalated when the military regime fought against the SU. The military caused this madness, they funded the cult groups then with weapons and cash to attack the SU. You may be wondering why? The SU then constantly clamoured for Democracy. Democracy was a threat to the military. Ask Sowore, what he faced. Guns, were so much in circulation, with the Pirates at the upper helm. In my humble opinion, I can expantiate more on this, I hope to have a good dialogue when you come up with your points. Good day. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

CharleyGold, i understand your arguements but you will agree with me that the menace of cultism in the country is worse than it was in the 80s and 90s, and i opined that it was because of the inclusion of non university students into the game. Perspective on this issue might differ depending on the institution or state. In unilag and ui, the buccanneers were the ones challenging the pc in the 80s and 90s while in uniport and unical the struggle was between the pc, vikings and buccanneers. I don't know about military aiding cultist as you stated, but i do know that the government of babangida did set up a tribunal in 1992 and wole soyinka was invited to give account of his involvement in pc activities on campus. This was after a pc shot dead an aye man in the then polycal now crutech in 1991 . That was the first cult related killing in Nigeria. 7 Likes 1 Share |
Re: My Story As A Cult Member........initiation Phase Included... by CharleyGold: 1:30am On Dec 17, 2020 |
Exmilitant: Thanks for your response. There was this course we did back then in school, can't really remember the title but it was something "African culture and societies". A borrowed course tho... This books had written events of menace of cultism back then. There was a major flaw the book had then, it never stated his one can be free. It painted cultism as rocket science that the best remedy was to flee. Back to where you said Soyinka was summoned, You can see as far back as 1992 cultism was already a major concern. Soyinka stated that he had orders the PCs to seize activities as at '84. That was ti tell you how bad it was becoming. Only I dont have access to such materials anymore. Crutech, Esut, UNN, et all where hot beds for cultism. Countering your claims, the first cult related killing happened in UNN in 1986 the killing of a non cult member in relationship with a cult member gf. Then the shooting at school exams complex in Esut, we have the beheading if a student at Uniport in 1991. MY MAIN POINT Now, back to why I said military funded cultism back then. During the military rule, the only force that could stand against the government were the students body that why they where mainly intellectuals at senior posts. Some where already activists. It was kind of a strong solidarity group. Do you know the the Buhari's regime stopped any form of fraternal gathering, students unions. After the regime, the SU gained its voice back and the military seeing the mass it pulled stepped in to fight it. The instruments were the fraternal bodies: PC, Ayes,Vikings, BAN,Eiye. You may be Wondering why they used the fraternal units. The military bribed the School VCs, profs, Drs, and school management to silence the SU because of its continual threat to authoritative govt. Some of these VCs,Profs,Drs, and senior school staff were one time members of one cult or the other, some were patrons. They solicited their help as past members and brought them into play. They got funding from the government. That was why till 1999 the cult groups saw the SU as another faction and fought them. We have the OAU massacre. When the SU moved about cramping down cultist and hideouts. Some were caught at staff quarters with guns and ammunitions. Note: SU and school authority were always at logger heads. The fraternal bodies were on the side of school authority. We are still on the same page I still stand that it got worse from the ND. The ND hadms the highest number if splinter groups from fraternity. I can agree with you on the fact that fraternity first hit the creeks/streets in Rivers state. It was as a result of power to control the newly found gold 'CRUDE OIL'. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

Good morning CharleyGold, i am happy to find a brilliant person like you here and one with a fair knowledge of cultism!..... Did you know that up to the 90s the PC controls SU affairs in almost all institutions in the country? So it would be illogical to say the govt paid cultists to counteract SU activities since they were cultist as well. What the govt did was support the formation and establishment of other cult group just to whittle the influence of the PC who were always challenging their policy. Obasanjos govt was aware of the formation of ayes in '77 but did nothing. Awolowo gave them his blessings just to spite Soyinka. Another reason for the proliferation of cultism on our campuses was the high handedness and totalitarian ways of the PC.... In 1982 risen angel led others to establish the viking confraternity in Rivers state and the game took a different dimension.... 5 Likes |
Re: My Story As A Cult Member........initiation Phase Included... by CharleyGold: 9:47am On Dec 17, 2020 |
Exmilitant: I agree with you 100%. You are very much correct. NBM was formed in uniben as a result of the connivance of the then PC and the school authority. PC were at the sympathy of the school authority and held so many posts. Same as BAN broke out from the PC because of the expulsion of one of its members from the PC. It was not in all institutions that Fraternity had superior powers over the SU. The few then, I can recall in a statement issued by Omoyele Sowore on how he was attacked as a student right activist by government paid cultist in 93/94. Some schools still maintained standards and this was a major threat to the military govt. I think we shouldn't mix up the era, they were non cult killings in the early 80s and late 70s despite the authoritarian rule of the PC. No doubt, the genesis was the PC despite their high handedness fraternal wars weren't bloody. Let me give a breakdown tho: 1. 1953 - 1970s : PC, Eiye reigned in the tertiary institution. PC had the uppermost powers then. They sought for freedom of the common black man and uphold the socio -cultural activities on campus. They also sought the need to fraternization as they wanted equality on campus with the rich and white. 2.1970s - The era of oppression by the then oppressed (PC) who turned out to be the latter (oppressor) led to the BAN and AYE confraternity. 3. 1980s(early) - The increase in fraternal groups brought unhealthy rivalry, and unnecessary competition. Fights broke out but restored. The vikings confraternity was formed. 4.1980 (mid) - Wole Soyinka called on the disbandment of PC confraternity (1984) due to increase in violence. First cult related killing happened a year after at Nsukka (1985). 5. Due to the uprising turmoil all forms of unionism were banned Nationwide. This include student unionism and fraternal bodies. After disbandment of PC, all fraternities were terned illegal and were asked not to operate in school environment. 6. This move made fraternity more secretive in action and became more careful. 7. 1980(late)- after the coup, the plot to silence democracy some well meaning activist who were past and present students came together to revive unionism. Rallies, protest were held against the authoritative military rule. After several assassination of journalists. The death of Dele giwa. 8. The military govt. Stepped in again solicited the help of the school authorities using bribery. NOTE: BEFORE THE BAN ON UNIONISM AND FRATERNITIES, SU SPAREHEADED BY VARIOUS FRATERNAL GROUPS. AFTER THE BAN, THE WELL MEANING STUDENTS TOOK BACK ITS COURSE THEN THEY LOST CONTROL IN MID 90S OWING TO THE GOVT/SCHOOL AUTHORITIES. 9. Back to the reason fraternity was banned, because of its nefarious activities on campus. Some evil politicians then seeing the havoc they caused, used them against their enemies. 10. Late 1980s-early 90s: The only way, the school authority tended to control back its students were to fight them indirectly. Infiltrate back the students union government with cultist as it was before the ban. Funded them cash, guns to attack during students government elections. Enable the cultist to control power back and they control them. 11. They achieved this as they successful pushed out the students government. Already guns were already in circulation. 12: 1990s- till date: cultism spread from the institutions and streets as some were expelled of on institutions.. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

CharleyGold, in all, you and i should agree that the menace of cultism was confined to the school enviroment back then. Growing up in the streets of Portharcourt in the late 80s and 90s we scarcely heard of cultism, because their activities was strictly played out in schools. For the record i think PC pulled out of the universities around 2004 or thereabout 'cause i met them in school. And they now go by the name Seadogs.... After reading through the experiences of the OP and others, i decided to give my own account of cultism as it is. My viewpoint will differ greatly from those of you here who have narrated their experiences. And this does not mean i am in support of cultism in any form, so no insult please. As an insider and one who played the game from, Dewell to Iceland to Vikings to Outlaws and for one who has gone for amnesty in South Africa, Dubai and Israel, i think i am also qualified to make my input for others to learn. And thank God there is CharleyGold who is very intelligent and rationale. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

Exmilitant: Yes you are correct. I can still attest to the fact of presence of PC in school till the mid 90s and early 2000s. Wole Soyinka had ordered them out of the school environment but they still operated for years which led to their change of Name and the body disassociating from the campus bodies. Wole Soyinka an intelligent man had longed seen the dangers in the long run and made the early call, however nature took its fate. The PC still remained in tertiary institutions till the 2000s.

Sometime mid last year, there was a cult clash between the svc and the kk in a particular uni in the south. The cause of the problem apparently, was an altercation between a bobo and bagger in the school mini stadium which resulted in the bobo being stabbed multiple times in the neck with a pen. However, when peace talks were called for and the leadership of the aforementioned frats began to discuss, the baggers denied the allegation that one of their men stabbed the bobo. Naturally, tempers flared and the meeting became heated until one of the calmer klansmen finally asked his colleagues for the identity of the bagger that kick started the whole thing. One of the klansmen who had been there stated that he did not recognize the bagger but after the stabbing, he echoed out 'aromate' and rolled out with his two cartel men. The baggers requested for a description of the guy which the witnesses gave, only for the baggers to remain resolute that they knew no such person. 4 Likes |
