What is CULTISM?

Cultism is the membership and operation of cults. It involves secret activities where the members behave in ways that are not acceptable by society. There are many cults in Nigeria especially in tertiary educational institutions and some secondary schools making life unbearable for those who go about their affairs peacefully. Their operations are secret and the locations in which they hold their meetings are solely known to their members only. Most times, they operate at night.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTISM:

Members wear expensive clothes. They are bold and daring and want to enforce their will on people.
New members are initiated secretly and both old and new members perform rituals and swear to oaths of secrecy.
They assist one another in all situations and promote members’ interests not minding reason, justice, fairness, legitimacy and appropriateness.
They have signs, symbols and passwords which are meant to be used and recognized by members only.
They look kind, quiet and generous but they are deceitful and hypocritical and can become violent and deadly at any time.
They carry different types of arms which can be tucked away in their pockets or bags.
They drink alcohol and other hard drugs excessively.
They are womanizers.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CULTS

There are many cults in higher institutions and they are said to be more than 40 with different symbols. Examples of some of them are:

Blood Suckers
Vikings Fraternity
Eiye Confraternity
Green scorpion
Trojan Horse

Some of them are gender-based meaning that they are strictly for female membership. Examples are:

Daughters of Jezebel
Temple of Eden
Hot Brassiere
Black Beret

ORIGIN OF CULT GROUPS

Cults have existed in Africa for a long time. The Ogboni Fraternity was prominent among the Yoruba people. It is a group of elderly men whose major duty was to check the excesses of the traditional rulers to ensure that they do not overdo things. Some other cults have existed in Nigeria like Ekine, Ekpe, Okonko and others. Cultism can be traced to the Pyrates Confraternity formed at the University of Ibadan in 1952 by some male students. Their objectives include:

To compel the colonial government to stop imposing foreign culture on Nigerians, so that Nigerians could be themselves.
To work for Nigeria’s independence.
To correct the ills of the society by fighting corruption, indiscipline and tribalism.
To encourage humanitarian activities such as blood donation and collection of money for charity.

However, some members behaved badly due to the nature of the confraternity and so were expelled from the group. They formed their own groups which became rival groups to the Pyrates. From 1980 till date, campus cults have continued to grow in number.

WHY STUDENTS JOIN CULTS

Family background: Some parents who were former campus cult members have their children attracted to cults. Some parents also encourage their children to join some of the cults that they like.
Economic hardship: Many parents fail to provide for their children in the higher institutions as a result of poverty. Some of the parents are also too busy to attend to their children for one reason or the other. Cult members offer their members financial assistance and such offers are attractive to indigent members.
Misconception: The older members of the cults give prospective members fake reasons that undue advantage will be given to them over the other students in academics, social life and abundance of alcohol, drinks and the likes.
Peer pressure: Some people whose friends are cult members convince their friends to become members too.
Curiosity: A lot of information have been disseminated about cults and so many people become cult members in order to confirm what they have heard.
Lack of self-confidence: People who have lacked affection and have unfulfilled desires may join cults in order to secure affection, popularity, protection and gain strong support from members.
Unemployment and the promise of future employment . Since there is lack of employment, some students fall prey to the older cult members with the promise of providing them with employment on condition that they join a particular cult.

CONSEQUENCES OF CULTISM

Cultism promotes violence. They attack other cult members to gain supremacy with arms and ammunitions.
They are potential murderers because they kill members of rival groups or anybody they feel is against them.
They break law and order as they disregard school regulations and enact their own laws.
Their activities disrupt school activities.
They distort the values and practices of society like murder, immorality, violence , crime, drunkenness, drug abuse and so on.
They end up having serious mental ill-health especially madness.

GOVERNMENT ‘S POSITION ON CULTISM

In order to curb cultism in our institutions of learning, government has done the following things:

Fresh intakes are made to sign a matriculation oath, pledging not to belong to any cult while in school and to be of good conduct.
Any student found to be in any cult would be expelled from the school
Those arrested would be charged to court and if found guilty, sentenced to jail terms.

SOCIETY’S POSITION ON CULTISM

Society at large frowns at cultism. People avoid those who are identified as cult members.
Responsible parents disallow their children and wards from associating with cult members.
Cult members are always accused of crime or theft in the neighbourhood, whether they are guilty of it or not.
Responsible employers do not offer cult members employment .

[mediator_tech]

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Parents should pay attention to their children’s upbringing and educate them on the acceptable ways of life.
Students should be encouraged to join religious groups and develop the fear of God in them.
Sports and recreational facilities should be provided in schools to engage the students during their leisure time.
Regular seminars should be organized in schools to enlighten students on the dangers of cultism.
Voluntary organizations should make their programmes more interesting to attract membership.
There should be effective counseling units in schools that can assist initiated members to even denounce their membership and also stop intending members from registering.
Institutions of learning should enact laws against cultism and enforce the laws.
Religious groups should organise programmes against cult practices.

There will be peace and people will not be molested. They will be free to go about their work peacefully.
There will be progress when there is peace. A peaceful situation enables people to earn a living devoid of chaos and riot. With peace, progress is sure.

What is Capitalist Democracy? Read Civic Education SS 2 by R.W. Okunloye (Page 7.)

Employment : Meaning , Types and Causes of Unemployment

Capitalist democracy is the form of government in which the powers of the government flow from the citizens to the governors and the running of the government is based on the consent of the electorate.

Capitalist democracy is a form of government organized in accordance with the principles of popular sovereignty, political equality, popular consultation and majority rule.

MAJOR FEATURES OF CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY

Periodic elections: Elections are expected to be held periodically and made open, free and fair. It must be made open to all eligible candidates.
Popular sovereignty: This means that basic governmental decision- making power is vested in all members of the community and not in any particular person or ruling class.
Political equity: This means that each member of the community or the state has the same opportunity as every other person to participate in the nation’s political decision-process.
Popular consultation: Leaders should implement only popularly accepted policies and not selfish wishes. That is, government should seek and get what public policies the people would like to be adopted and adapted.
Freedom of association and groups: There must be existence of more than one political party in a democratic setting within which alternative views can be promoted, and choices made available for the electorates to pick from during elections.
Respect for the rule of law: It is expected that everybody in the state must be equal before the laws of the land. That is, all recognized human rights must be put under the same law and under the same constitution and also respected by the people and the government.

FACTORS THAT IMPEDE THE SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY IN LESS DEVELOPED STATES

Some factors have been seen to be affecting the smooth running of democracy. They are:

High level of illiteracy: This means that the majority of the people are ignorant of what role they should play and also the roles the government should play in the running of the government and how to influence government decisions.
High level of poverty: Democracy demands high level of economic independence on the part of the people. Poverty breeds election rigging, buying of votes and people accepting to serve as thugs during election periods to molest political opponents.
Military dictatorship: Long military rule and its attendant problems distort democracy. Most times, there are cases of inequitable distribution of wealth, a weak press, lack of judicial interdependence and corruption.
Use of one-party system: Effective democracy calls for more than one political party to canvass for votes. A one-party state restricts positive choices and that is against the principles of democracy.

POLITICAL PARTIES IN CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY

Political parties are formed to be important instruments for the smooth running of a state. A political party is an association of groups or individuals who have agreed to come together under certain national issues (manifesto) which they offer in competition with other groups, with the terminal aim of winning and controlling the machinery of the state.

METHODS OF POLITICAL COMPETITION

Political campaign: This is one way political parties in a political system sell their manifestoes to the electorate. It also gives opportunity to the people to meet with their future leaders and raise questions on issues not clearly stated. In some cases, campaigns are mounted on radio and television and sometimes by the use of print media.
Organising debates and conferences: Political parties sometimes arrange different fora or conferences during which they are able to sell their manifestoes, ideologies and candidates to the people.
Provision of material needs of the people: It is common when elections are approaching to see political parties donating food, water, stoves and other essential needs of the people. This is done to get more people attracted to the party.
Assisting the electorate on the day of election: On the day of elections, it is common to see vehicles donated by political parties to convey voters to the points of elections or polling booths.
Provision of party agents: In order to prevent possible rigging of elections, political parties are allowed to nominate their party agents whose duty is to protect the interest of the party. They listen to the announcement of results and watch the counting of votes.
Integrating people and groups: As part of the effort to win elections, political parties support and in some cases form different groups which are used to promote their interests. Examples are the market women and students.

Civic Education Scheme of Work – SS 1 1st Term, 2nd Term & 3rd Term 2024 Session

The first term scheme of work for Civic Education for SS 1 starts with the definition of Civic Education followed by definition and types of values while second term scheme of work for SS 1 Civic Education for SS 1 begins with the revision of first term’s work, followed by The Structure of Government, Law and Order, Democracy and other topics as seen below while third term topics borders on origin of cultism in Nigeria, Cultism in Higher Institutions of Higher learning in Nigeria, the consequences of cultism, constituted authority and so on.

The scheme of work for Civic Education in SS 1 (senior secondary school one) for 2024/2025 academic session is out. Please be informed that this scheme of work has been made available and free for all teachers in secondary schools in Nigeria by schoolings . Civic Education is a subject made compulsory by the ministry of education to be offered by Art, science and commercial students in all junior and senior secondary schools in Nigeria.

In this article, we will be focusing on the SS 1 scheme of work for Civic Education First term, second term and third term for the current academic session.

What is Civic Education? Civic education can be defined as the branch of social science subject that studies the way in which the rights, duties, privileges and obligations of people are protected in the society. Civic education has its roots from Citizenship education in short it is coined from citizenship education. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The subject teaches and enlightens the people or citizens of the country about the right values, right attitudes and acceptable behaviors in the society they live in. In summary, it is a subject that educates the people about the responsibilities of the government towards the people.

Civic Education if well taught is a very interesting subject that applies to our everyday life affairs. The scheme of work has been well arranged in a progressive order that would make it very easy for students offering the subject to comprehend.

Ideally, the scheme of work for Civic Education for SS 1 first term, is a continuation from Civic Education scheme of work for JSS 3 third term. To further emphasize the importance of the subject, the government made it a part of the curriculum for senior secondary school students in science classes despite being a social science subject.

The ministry of Education made it mandatory that all senior secondary schools in Nigeria operate using the same scheme of work whether it is a private secondary school or government owned secondary schools . The ministry of education, in order to align with the demands of WAEC as a body, makes compulsory the submission of the government approved scheme of work for all subjects offered in senior secondary school as parts of the requirements for approving the operation or license to run a private school in Nigeria.

To further emphasize the importance of the subject matter, the scheme of work for Civic education is a complete guide on all topics under this subject. It is used to ensure that the learning purposes, aims and objectives of the subject meant for that class are successfully achieved.

For example, the scheme of work for Civic Education SS 1 (Senior secondary school one) is the same for both private and public secondary schools in Nigeria, that is, the scheme of work for a private school is the same with that of public or government owned secondary schools, principals and teachers in secondary schools in Nigeria are to adhere to the approved scheme of work as mandated by the ministry of education as a move against this could spell sanctions from the ministry of education.

The SS 1 Civic Education scheme of work provided here would go a long way in not just helping the teachers in carefully breaking down the subject, topics and subtopics but also, devise more practical ways of imparting the practical knowledge on the students while being time conscious at the same time in order to meet up with the deadline and start revision early enough.

From our observations, the search for the government approved curriculum or scheme of work for Civic Education in senior secondary school level has been on the rise, reason being that Civic Education is a core subject offered in both Junior and Senior secondary schools in Nigeria. The scheme of work for Civic Education in Senior secondary school one (SS 1) from first term to third term is the same irrespective of whether the school is a public or private secondary school as this brings about uniformity in the educational sector in Nigeria.

This post carries weight because it provides in full, details about the current Civic Education curriculum for SS 1, that is, for complete academic session (1st term, 2nd term and 3rd term), and this includes the government approved scheme of work for all topics and sub-topics for Civic Education for SS 1 first term, second term and third term.

For those interested in starting up a school either in any state within Nigeria, it would be worthy to go through the government approved guidelines for establishing a secondary school in Nigeria as this would guide you through the process and give you first hand information on all requirements that must be put in place before your school can be approved or termed Government Approved.

SUB-TOPIC 1: THE ARMS OF GOVERNMENT

In any political system, there exist three main arms of government that discharge specific duties for the administration of a political entity. The three arms of government are the executive, the legislature and the judiciary.

The Executive

The executive arm of the government consists of all the agencies and officers that are concerned with the execution of government policies. This arm of government is associated with the role of acting as the country’s head of state at all ceremonial occasions and as the leaders of government business.

Functions of the executive arm of government

Issuance of rules and statutory orders in accordance with the constitutional provisions or the power granted by the legislature as the case may be.
Execution and implementation of policies, laws, rules and regulations.
Initiating and defending bills in the parliament.
Allocation of resources after the parliament’s approval.
Preparation of the budget for every financial year.
Supervising government projects.
Negotiating with other nations on treaties.

The Legislature

This is the arm of government that is responsible for making of laws for the administration of the country. It is usually referred to as the parliament. The members of parliaments are either nominated or elected from different parts of the nation. There are two types of legislature: bicameral and unicameral legislature.

A bicameral legislature exists in a society where there are two chambers or houses, that is, the upper and the lower chamber. In Nigeria, the lower chamber is called the House of Representative while the upper chamber is known as the Senate . The two houses are collectively referred to as the National Assembly . Unicameral legislature exists in countries where there is only one chamber. This is practiced in countries like Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey.

Functions of the legislative arm of government

Enactment of laws for the smooth running of government;
Approval of budget that is presented by the executive arm of the government;
Screening and approval of ministerial nominees, ambassadors and other key government officials;
Approval of treaties made with other nations by the executive arm of the government;
Amendment of the constitution;
Setting up of probe panels to investigate the activities of governmental institutions such as parastatals and corporations.
The removal of erring members of the executive through the process of impeachment by passing a vote of no confidence.

The judiciary
