human rights breaches, both chronic and recent, especially those that put life in
immediate danger.
2. Amnesty International:
Amnesty International is a global movement of over seven million people that take
injustice personally and are unaffiliated with any political ideology, religion, or
economic interest. The movement advocates for a world in which all people have
equal access to human rights. Amnesty International's main activities are research,
advocacy, lobbying, and campaigns and action.
3. International Labour Organization:
The organisation was established in 1919 as a result of the Treaty of Versailles,
which ended World War I to express the conviction that social justice must be the
foundation of any durable, universal peace. The ILO's core objectives are to advance
workers' rights at work, foster possibilities for decent employment, reinforce social
protection, and increase communication about issues relating to the workplace.
4. Human Rights Watch
The organisation looks into and documents violations of human rights throughout the
world. It employs people, most of whom are national experts, attorneys, journalists,
and human rights defenders. In addition, the organisation works with and argues for
governments, corporations, and other groups to reform their laws and policies.
5. African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights:
The organisation was founded by the African Charter. Protection of human and
peoples' rights, promotion of human and peoples' rights, and interpretation of the
African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights are some of its main responsibilities.

An international non-governmental organisation dedicated to advancing human
rights, Global Rights was founded in Washington in 1978. The organisation relocated
to Nigeria in 2014 and now collaborates with local activists in Latin America, Asia,

underrepresented groups. It focuses its efforts on working on cross-cutting issues,
including women's rights, access to justice, the security of human rights, and resource
governance

The organisations that make up the IFHR are active in preserving and promoting
respect for the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights outlined in the

international crimes to justice.

The Human Rights Foundation is a nonprofit group that emphasises closed societies
while promoting and defending human rights worldwide. To defend, equip, and
provide a platform for human rights activists who are fearlessly transforming their
communities and nations, they have teamed up with activists who are changing the
globe.

affiliations is one of its key areas of activity.
Some of these agencies have branches worldwide, including in Nigeria. National

country is the NHRC, located at Aguiyi Ironsi street, Maitama, in the capital city
Abuja. According to the Nigeria Governance Project, the NHRC has a budgetary
allocation of about N800m, with which it battles violations of the rights of citizens of
the world's largest black population. The law establishing the NHRC says the agency's
main duty is to protect Nigerians' rights in line with the Nigerian Constitution's
provisions and the African and United Nations charters on human and peoples' rights.
The work of the NHRC is crucial because Nigeria is a signatory to the Universal
Declaration on Human Rights and other international human rights treaties. The
NHRC has offices in the six geo-political regions of the country as well as another in
Abuja that is different from its headquarters.
11. Office of the Public Defender (OPD):
Some of the 36 states in Nigeria also have their respective human rights bodies. One
such state is Lagos, which has the Office of the Public Defender (OPD). The agency's
mission is to "safeguard the fundamental human rights and freedom of the vulnerable
and disadvantaged groups". Among other functions, the OPD provides legal support
for those who cannot afford it. It also does the same for anybody who feels that justice
has been miscarried in their case.
If you cannot get justice for trampling on your rights at the NHRC or the OPD,
several other countries' other human rights organisations can help you out, depending
on the nature of the violations. These agencies include: Human Rights Law Service
(HURILAWS), Access to Justice Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network, Devatop

Cultism is the devotion to the doctrines or practices of a cult, it is belonging to a cult.
The secret cult is an exclusive group of people that is often united by blood covenant.
It is common in tertiary institutions such as colleges of education, polytechnics and
universities.
According to Adewale Rotimi (2005) a secret cult is a group of people whose
activities are carried out in exclusive location and at an unusual time without been
exposed to the initiated. Oxford Advanced Learners dictionary describes it as small
group of people who have extreme religious beliefs and who are not part of any
established religion.
Different cult groups and symbols
1. Pirates Confraternity: (National Association of Seadogs or Seadoff) formed in
1952 at University of Ibadan by Proffesors Wole Soyinka, Olumuyiwa Awe, Ralph
Opara, Pius Oleigbe, Olu Agunloye, Daig Imokuede and Tunji Tubi.
The aims of forming this group are;
1. To elevate social life in the University where orderliness and discipline could be
instiled in the mind of the youths
2. To defend humanistic ideas.
3. To fight neo – colonialism.
4. To fight tribalism and elitism.
THE SYMBOL OF PYRATES CONFRATENITY

Tunde Jawando, Kunle Adigun all of whom where formerly in pirates but became
uncomfortable with them consequentially they formed Buccaneers. Members are also

2. Supreme Eye Confraternity: this was formed in 1966 at the University of Ibadan.
Its founders were Adegoke Adeniyi, Dele Nwakpele, Bode Falase, Tunde Aluko,
Kayode Oke, Bode Sowunmi etc. Some of its aims were to make positive impact of
the social political mind, social cultural, physical and mental development of
members. Members are referred to as flyers, air force.

History of cultism on Nigerian campuses
The aim was quite good and progressive contrary to what obtains among cultists in
Nigerian schools today. They set high academic and moral standards for their
members. Among the founders were Proffesor Wole Soyinka the first democratically
elected president ‘’Captain’’ with the name captain blood (Rotimi Adewale,2005).
Others were Proffesor Muyiwa Awe, Ralph Opara, Pius Oleigbe, Daid Imokuede,
Later on black eye, Vikings, Mafia, Black Beret, daughters of jezebel. Most of these
groups that emerged after Pirates were known for violence and killings on Nigerian
campuses. Reasons why youths join cults.
The following are some reasons why youth join;
1. Search for powers: people seeking powers to make life difficult for fellow student
around them. Some also join cults as a place of refuge from intimidation and
oppression from their colleagues.
2. Support from school leaders: students who find themselves on campuses where
lecturers and officials are cult members tend to join cults so as to be more comfortable
and get good marks from such lecturers. School leadership also recruits students into
cult so that they could help in fighting other groups that will not allow them carry out
their policies in the institution.
3. To secure protection: students especially female join refuge from intimidation and
oppression from their colleagues.
4. For popularity reasons: they believe that membership will give them greatness,
honor and prestige in school community makes some disappointment in life tend to
reduce psychological effects such problems by cult groups.
5. To get attention; Neglected children from homes intend to join cult in order to get
love, comfort and receive direction in life. Unfortunately they get disappointed as
their woes increase.
6. To get financial assistance: many students from poor homes falls prey easily to
cultists who throw baits of financial assistance to them.
