(a) Three reasons why cultism constitutes national problems

1. It causes loss of lives and insecurity - cult clashes and killings threaten the peace and security of the nation.
2. It destroys the future of youths - it truncates the education and careers of many young people, wasting the nation's future manpower.
3. It breeds violence and crime - cultism fuels armed robbery, kidnapping, drug abuse and general lawlessness across the country.

(b) Five reasons why eradicating cultism in schools will promote national development

1. It creates a peaceful learning environment - free from fear, students can study well and produce quality graduates.
2. It preserves lives and future leaders - fewer deaths means more talented youths survive to serve the nation.
3. It reduces crime in the society - since cultism feeds wider criminality, its removal makes the country safer.
4. It improves the image and standard of education - schools free of cultism attract investment and produce disciplined, skilled manpower.
5. It promotes discipline and good values - youths grow into responsible, law-abiding citizens who contribute to development.

(c) Two factors hindering the eradication of cultism in Nigerian schools

1. Corruption and weak enforcement - influential people shield cultists, and laws are not firmly enforced.
2. Secrecy and fear - the secret nature of cults and fear of reprisal make members and witnesses unwilling to expose them. (Also poor parental care and unemployment.)
