WEEK 4
TOPIC: CULTISM
CONTENT: 1. Origin and causes of cultism
2. Consequences of Cultism
SUB-TOPIC 1:ORIGIN AND CAUSES OF CULTISM
Origin of Cultism
Secret cults have existed in Africa for a long time. The Ogboni was prominent among the Yorubas. It is a group of elderly men whose major duty was to put a check on the traditional rulers to ensure that they did not overstep their bound. Some other cults that have existed in Nigeria includes; Ekine, Ekpe, Okonko and Owegbe.
What is known as secret cult in tertiary institutions started at University College, Ibadan, in 1953 with the establishment of Pirates confraternity. It was formed by Nigeria’s first Nobel Laureate for Literature, Prof. Wole Soyinka and others. Their main aim included:
o To abolish convention
o To revive the age chivalry
o To end tribalism and elitism
Their ideas were patriotic as it was not imagined as a secret cult even though their activities were done secretly. Their objectives which revolve round the maintenance of polite behaviour among people of different background and chivalry portrayed the dream of the founder. It is noteworthy that the group was not to harm, maim, kill or destroy.
From about 1980 till date, campus cult groups in Nigeria have continued to grow in number. This is because many more tertiary institutions have been established and the students’ population in the country has increased considerably. As it is, each group is eager to eliminate all others and enforce its own authority because of the doctrinal differences.
Causes of cultism
1. Protection: In the olden days, the real cause of cultism is protection against bad school administration or protection of interests in government jobs. Members come together in secret to discuss how to protect themselves.
2. Inadequate Parental Care: Parents no longer care about the friends their children and wards keep. Many do not care about funding their children’s education. The result is that, the child joins groups that would make them ‘comfortable’ at school and in the larger society. Cultists attract such people when they get to schools.
3. Disobedience to wise counsels given by parents to their wards as they get admitted to higher institutions.
4. Inordinate ambition to be recognized as a tough guy in campus
5. Poor leadership
6. Injustice: When there is social injustice, the cult will encourage other youths to join them fight against injustice.
7. The need for security because of the inability to act, think and survive independently.
8. Economic Hardship: Many cult group offer their member financial assistance, such offer make many students join such group.

Sub-Topic 1- Meaning of orderliness
Meaning of orderliness
Orderliness can be described as a condition where things follow laid down procedures. It is also the act of behaving in a decent manner in conformity to standard, of morality, good taste, and devoid of immodesty. It is doing the right thing at the right place at the right time.
Law and orderliness simply means; a rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement or authority. It is the body of rules and principles governing the affair of a community and enforced by a political authority.
It is also the condition of social order and justice created by compliance to such a system, a piece of enacted legislation; a code of principles based on morality, conscience or nature; and also, a principle of organization, procedure or technique.
Law and order is maintained in an environment free from disturbances, disquietness and disorganization and firm and decisive action is taken against theft, violence and disturbance of public peace with swift enforcement of sanctions or penalties.
Doing things orderly would mean allowing things to take their normal course, terms and follow prescribed procedures. It could mean allowing things to be in the best way they fit in or arranging things following their ascending or descending values such that they are neatly and carefully organized or arranged.
To be orderly therefore, is to be organized, well comported, and maintained decency in whatever we are asked to do. For instance, when we are in the dining hall to take our meal, we should rush or be in a haste thereby making the place rowdy and disorganized. It should not be a time of talking or discussing with friends, instead we are expected to be properly seated and maintain proper table manners. We must not take more than our due ration. Such actions is a dent on our character and conduct and promotes disorderliness and confusion.

WEEK 7
TOPIC: LAW AND ORDER
CONTENT: Orderliness
SUB-TOPIC 2: EXAMPLES OF ORDERLINESS IN THE SOCIETY
Examples of Orderliness in the Society
To be orderly, decent and organized in the society, we must exhibit the following attributes: Listening skills, driving skills, decision making skill, communication skills, queuing culture, respect for constituted authorities and decorum.
1. The ideal way of doing things orderly is to follow the laid down rules and regulations and conforming to the norms of the society.
2. Another way is to cultivate the habit of listening to and obeying given instructions.
3. A good example of orderliness is being patient and having the ability to wait for our turn. In doing this, there will be no confusion or rowdiness in the society.
4. Decorum: This is the habit of following appropriate and an approved behaviour. It is being decent in doing things and relating with others with courtesy.
5. Decision-making skill is a good example of orderliness. This involves making up our mind to do what is right and considering different options before deciding or making choice. The decisions we make determines our destiny. Making bad or wrong decisions will disorganize our life and destroy our future.
6. Another good example is having Driving Skills. This is acquiring relevant and appropriate skill, knowledge, rules and regulations guiding driving on roads and highways. This will enable road users to be careful and considerate while on the road in order not to endanger one’s life and that of other road users.
7. Another good example is imbibing the Queuing Culture. This entails cultivating the habit of being patient when people are queuing on the line and maintaining our position without attempting to jump the queue especially when we are waiting for the bus, or about boarding a vehicle at the motor-park or while in the bank to transact business there. Attempting to jump the queue is a bad habit that causes disorderliness.
8. Having good Communication Skill is another example of orderliness. Communication involves giving and receiving information. It is a medium of interaction with other people including our friends, relations, etc. To have good and effective communication skill, we must learn to listen patiently without interruption, using correct and proper language, maintaining eye contact i.e. focus, matching non-verbal with verbal languages and be courteous while replying especially to more elderly people as students. Avoid impatience, inattentiveness, interruption of speech, inappropriate expression, restlessness and rude or rash reply.
9. Obedience to the law and Constituted authority. Orderliness starts with being obedient to the law and constituted authority. Law abiding citizens promote peace and orderly co-existence in the society. They do not take laws into their hands but allows the law to take its natural course by seeking redress or justice through the proper channel.
10. Another example of orderliness is Proper Maintenance of Public Property. This involves imbibing proper maintenance culture. One with proper maintenance culture will not damage, deface, or destroy public properties. This is because public properties are put in place to serve the good of every citizen within the community through the tax payers’ money. It is therefore our duty to properly handle and maintain public utilities such as public toilets, Tap water, Street Lights, Public Telephone, Public Buildings, Roads, Pipelines, etc.
11. Proper Waste Disposal. An important example of orderliness involves proper disposal of refuse and waste in the refuse bins. It is an act of disorderliness to litter the environment with papers, nylons, food remnants. Refuse are not to be emptied into drainages or river channels as this will cause flooding which will in turn cause destruction of lives and properties.
12. Assisting Law Enforcement Agents to maintain Law and Order. This entails having people with the willingness to maintain peace, law and order in their community by assisting the law enforcement agents such as the police and others to fish out trouble-makers and those that always breach public peace.
Attributes of Orderliness:
a) Patience: This is the ability to take momentary pause before taking an action or making a decision. It does not involve doing things rashly or in haste but calmly deferring action or decision until a proper understanding of a situation and time has come.
b) Diligence: This means investing time and energy to complete each task assigned to an individual. It involves giving prompt attention and attendance to an assigned task, without procrastinationor postponement. It also involves hard work. For example, a diligent student will complete the home work given to him/her before engaging in leisure or games.
c) Cleanliness: This is the maintenance of physical neatness, tidiness, safety and hygiene.
d) Propriety: This is the act of being appropriate in every situation. For example, a student should have a sense of decorum in the school environment and must pay attention while in the class.
e) Organization: This is having the ability to identify the purpose, items or activities, and arranging them accordingly. It is the orderly arrangement of things or priorities.
f) Maintenance of standard: This means having the ability to set goals and standards of orderliness and maintain the established standard. This implies that orderliness is not a one-time issue but must be continuously and consistently maintained.

SUB-TOPICS: 1. MEANING OF CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY
Constituted authority can best be described as those who have control over us, those who control the affair of the society where we live, those who administer rules and regulations, those who enforce the law and order, those who determine our faith and our belief and those who teach and train us to become better and rational beings.
Constituted authority can also mean lawful and constitutional powers derived from a legally binding instrument. It is the legal power to govern a place, town, state, country, institution, etc. Anyone that exercises legal and constitutional power is said to be exercising constituted authority.
EVALUATION:
1. Define and explain the concepts, constituted authority.
2. Briefly explain how power to exercise constituted authority is derived.
SUB-TOPIC 2: TYPES OF CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY.
Positions of authority exercised by individuals or groups can be classified in different forms and types as follows:
(a) Forms of constituted authority
(b) Types of constituted authority
Forms of Constituted Authority
There are three forms of constituted authority, namely:
i. Line of Authority: Under this form of authority, there are chains of command from the superior to the subordinate, from the top to the bottom. Orders or instructions emanates from the head and goes down to the subordinates. For example, in a school setting, the principal is the head of the school. Instructions emanate from him to the teachers, to the Heads of departments, to the teachers, to the prefects and to the student body. The line of order and action flows in that order, thereby making individuals answerable to his or her direct superior. In this manner, there is easy control and administration. One knows at a glance to who he or she is answerable.
ii. Staff Authority: Authority is given to individuals to supervise advice and contribute ideas, opinions and suggestions but cannot make or take decisions. Necessary recommendations are direct to the supervisors before final decision could be taken.
iii. Team Authority: Here Authority is vested on a committee to plan, organize and execute such plans with some measure of supervision.
Types of Constituted Authority
Constituted authority can be classified into the following types:
1. Political Authority: Some people acquire power through the provision of the constitution and elections. Such political leaders secure the mandate of the electorate hence power is conferred on them to lead the people. Examples are the President, Vice President, Governors, Deputy Governors, Chairman of Local Government, Councils, Legislative members at the Federal, State and Local levels, Ministers and Commissioners.
2. Traditional Authority: These include Kings, Emirs, Obi’s, Oba’s, Traditional chiefs, Village Heads among others who through the customs and traditions of the land are conferred with powers to rule the people. They control, maintain law and order, uphold traditional institutions and serve as the custodian of the customs, tradition, beliefs and the culture of the people.
3. Spiritual/Religious Authority: The need for man to have closer relationship with God has paved way for the emergency of religious institutions whose responsibilities are to impart the knowledge and faith in God into members, to create avenue for the worship of God and facilitate the gathering of likeminded worshippers. This has led to the emergency of a class of Spiritual/Religious leaders such as Pastors, Imams, Reverends, Sheiks, Bishops and Priests charged with the powers to direct the affairs in their various places of worship. Worshippers willingly rest and obey the constituted authority in their places of worship because the authorities derive their power from the religious beliefs.
4. Charismatic Authority: This is an authority associated with powerful, knowledgeable and reputed personality. Such a personality attracted the admiration of the masses and thus exerts great influence on them and they in turn surrender their allegiance to him. Examples of charismatic leaders include Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Mallam Aminu Kano, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, etc.
5. Coercive Authority: This type of authority is backed up by the force of arms. This is power exercised by force and people are forced to obey every command. Examples are the Armed forces i.e. Army, Navy, Air force and all those that enforce law and order in the land such as Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Customs, Prisons, Federal Road Safety Corps, National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency, etc. During the military rule in Nigeria, Military leaders then exercised coercive authority i.e. they acquired and exercised powers by force.
6. Legal/Rational Authority: This type of power is derived from the law and only legally qualified individuals such as Barristers can exercise such powers. For instance, only a qualified Barrister can defend a client before a high court judge.
7. Delegated authority: This is power conferred by the legislators on certain members of the executive arm of government to make laws on their behalf. This type of power is granted to a lower person by a higher authority to act on his or her behalf.
8. Technical Authority: One may have expert knowledge or skill in a particular field thereby qualifying him to exercise authority in that field. For instance, only the student that can play the organ very well that would be made the school organist. Only a skilful footballer that can be made the Captain of a football team.
9. Positional Authority: This is power conferred on an individual by virtue of the position or office he or she occupies. For example, a person appointed to head a school automatically becomes the principal of that school. Once he or she occupies that position or assumes the office of Principal, authority or power is conferred on him or her.

Forms of Constituted Authority
There are three forms of constituted authority, namely:
i. Line of Authority: Under this form of authority, there are chains of command from the superior to the subordinate, from the top to the bottom. Orders or instructions emanates from the head and goes down to the subordinates. For example, in a school setting, the principal is the head of the school. Instructions emanate from him to the teachers, to the Heads of departments, to the teachers, to the prefects and to the student body. The line of order and action flows in that order, thereby making individuals answerable to his or her direct superior. In this manner, there is easy control and administration. One knows at a glance to who he or she is answerable.
ii. Staff Authority: Authority is given to individuals to supervise advice and contribute ideas, opinions and suggestions but cannot make or take decisions. Necessary recommendations are direct to the supervisors before final decision could be taken.
iii. Team Authority: Here Authority is vested on a committee to plan, organize and execute such plans with some measure of supervision.
Types of Constituted Authority
Constituted authority can be classified into the following types:
1. Political Authority: Some people acquire power through the provision of the constitution and elections. Such political leaders secure the mandate of the electorate hence power is conferred on them to lead the people. Examples are the President, Vice President, Governors, Deputy Governors, Chairman of Local Government, Councils, Legislative members at the Federal, State and Local levels, Ministers and Commissioners.
2. Traditional Authority: These include Kings, Emirs, Obi’s, Oba’s, Traditional chiefs, Village Heads among others who through the customs and traditions of the land are conferred with powers to rule the people. They control, maintain law and order, uphold traditional institutions and serve as the custodian of the customs, tradition, beliefs and the culture of the people.
3. Spiritual/Religious Authority: The need for man to have closer relationship with God has paved way for the emergency of religious institutions whose responsibilities are to impart the knowledge and faith in God into members, to create avenue for the worship of God and facilitate the gathering of likeminded worshippers. This has led to the emergency of a class of Spiritual/Religious leaders such as Pastors, Imams, Reverends, Sheiks, Bishops and Priests charged with the powers to direct the affairs in their various places of worship. Worshippers willingly rest and obey the constituted authority in their places of worship because the authorities derive their power from the religious beliefs.
4. Charismatic Authority: This is an authority associated with powerful, knowledgeable and reputed personality. Such a personality attracted the admiration of the masses and thus exerts great influence on them and they in turn surrender their allegiance to him. Examples of charismatic leaders include Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Mallam Aminu Kano, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, etc.
5. Coercive Authority: This type of authority is backed up by the force of arms. This is power exercised by force and people are forced to obey every command. Examples are the Armed forces i.e. Army, Navy, Air force and all those that enforce law and order in the land such as Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Customs, Prisons, Federal Road Safety Corps, National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency, etc. During the military rule in Nigeria, Military leaders then exercised coercive authority i.e. they acquired and exercised powers by force.
6. Legal/Rational Authority: This type of power is derived from the law and only legally qualified individuals such as Barristers can exercise such powers. For instance, only a qualified Barrister can defend a client before a high court judge.
7. Delegated authority: This is power conferred by the legislators on certain members of the executive arm of government to make laws on their behalf. This type of power is granted to a lower person by a higher authority to act on his or her behalf.
8. Technical Authority: One may have expert knowledge or skill in a particular field thereby qualifying him to exercise authority in that field. For instance, only the student that can play the organ very well that would be made the school organist. Only a skilful footballer that can be made the Captain of a football team.
9. Positional Authority: This is power conferred on an individual by virtue of the position or office he or she occupies. For example, a person appointed to head a school automatically becomes the principal of that school. Once he or she occupies that position or assumes the office of Principal, authority or power is conferred on him or her.
