Cultism in tertiary institutions in Nigeria was originally introduced to fight colonialism and oppressive rules. During the 1950s and 1960s, when Nigeria was still under colonial rule, student groups formed secret societies to resist the oppressive policies of the colonial government and to promote Nigerian independence. However, over time, these groups became increasingly violent and turned into the cults we know today, characterized by violence, intimidation, and criminal activities. Nowadays, cultism in Nigerian tertiary institutions has little to do with fighting colonialism and is mostly associated with criminal and violent behavior.
