2ND TERM
WEEK 1
LESSON 1
TOPIC: Cultism
CONTENT:
(a) Meaning of cultism.
(b)Causes of cultism
Meaning of Cultism
A cult is small group of people who have extreme belief and ideas which only members have access to. Cultism can therefore be defined as a ritual practice by a group of people whose membership, initiation, policy, activities etc. are done secretly.
Causes of Cultism
Many reasons are responsible for joining cults in Nigeria today the following are some of the causes of cultism in Nigeria today.
1. Home Background: The way a person is brought up sometimes affects the kind of person he or she grows up to become. A child who grows up in a home where the parents belong to one cult or the other is bound to become a cultist later in his or her life.
2. Peer Group Influence: “Show me your friend and l will tell you who you are”. This adage has proved itself beyond all doubts, people who make friends with cultist end up becoming cultist themselves.
3. Exposure To Foreign Values: The types of films and books a person has access to can influence the persons way of life. The mass media through films have contributed immensely to the development of secret cult activities in Nigeria.
4. Proliferation Of Arms In The Society: As more alms find their way illegally into the streets, guns, battle axes, etc are easy to get. The youths who are not matured enough to know the implication of indiscriminate use of alms are now in possession of such arms. The urge to experiment with these arms is there and a cult is the best avenue through which such arms can be used.
5. Poor Leadership: The decline in the educational sector due to poor leadership has created an atmosphere of lawlessness unrest in our schools. The lawlessness can lead to formation of cults in our schools.
6. Injustice/Marginalization: Injustice marginalization spur cult activities. Presently, wealth, jobs development etc are unevenly distributed in Nigeria. This has motivated young people to form cult through which they can fight injustice and marginalization in the society.
7. Need For respect: The desire for respect and recognition that are accorded to known members of campus street cults
Evaluation:
1. What is cultism?
2. List and explain three causes of cultism
LESSON 2
Consequences Of Cultism
1. Violence: This is one of the major effects of cultism in our society. Members of cult carry our various violent activities in school where they are. They indulge activities like torture, killing, maiming, kidnapping, robbery; they unleash terror on campus, secondary schools and even in towns where they operate.
2. Breakdown Of Social Values: Societal norms and accepted values are thrown away as a result of cult activities in places where they thrive. Social values such as respect for life, self discipline, respect for the law etc. are abandoned by cultist who takes the law into their hands whenever they are operating.
3. Criminal Tendencies: It has been observed that members of cults have criminal behaviours like raping unsuspecting girls on campus, threatening teachers and lectures for high grades, part taking in armed robbery, being used as political thugs and assassins etc. they are bound to be criminal minded.
4. Moral Decadence: The increasing number of people who are cultist in the society has lead to a sharp fall in moral standards.
5. It Leads To The Abuse Of Illegal Drugs: All cult members use hard drugs, this help them to carry out their violent activities.
Solutions To Cultism
1. Undertaking: Both parents and the students should sign an undertaking in which students should promise not to join secret cult.
2. Security: There should be a strong and effective security machinery to enforce anti cultism law in Nigeria.
3. Strict Penalty: Any student caught belonging to a secret cult should be treated as a murderer.
4. Adequate Funding of the University will prevent cultism
5. Justice: University Administrators and lecturers should be fair and just to all students.
EVALUATION:
1. Outline three consequences of cultism
2. Give two solution to the problem of cultism

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. explain the meaning of evolution.
2.list the stages of evolution of man.
CONTENTS:
EVOLUTION.
The scientific explanation of the origin of human beings can be traced to the EVOLUTION evidence. Evolution is the development from simple to complex living forms. This means that man evolve from single/ simple cell to multi cellular organism.
With this biological equation, man shared many characteristics with some of these other organisms e.g. man and gorilla and chimpanzee.
The stages of evolution of man are as follow:
1. A human being is an animal belonging to the animal kingdom.
2. That human beings belong to multi cellular animal kingdom and not one called animals.
3. That man belongs to the vertebrate where the nervous systems run.
4. Man is also a mammal among the vertebrates. Mammals also have glands to suckle their young ones.
5. Human beings belong to the primate in order, so also
6. Man also belongs to the <Homo> group i.e. Homosapiens.
Through this evolution theory, one can see that human beings have passed through million of years before evolving to the present stage. With the development therefore, man has developed a well versed brain and nervous system than any other. This theory is postulated by CHARLES DARWIN.
EVIDENCE OF FIRST MAN EVOLVING FROM AFRICA.
L.S.D. Leakey while working in Kenya as an archeologist discovered the oldest fossil ever ion the earth, meaning that the earliest man evolved from African about forty to fifty million years ago. This period is referred to in geological time table as OLIGOCENE period.
Leakey called the fossil found as KENYALOPITUS WICKERI. This was in the year 1963, and said the age of the fossil is about twelve to fifteen million years.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. define races.
2. list and explain the classification of races.
ENTRY BEHAVIOUR:
CONTENTS:
RACES.
A race is a group of people that have common origin, similar physical appearance e.g. skin colour, facial details, shape of head, body and other similar peculiarities. Races can also be referred to as biological divisions of human beings with common, well marked physical characteristics.
CLASSIFICATION OF RACES.
Certain factors are use to classify races in the world, this include language, religion and other cultural peculiarities. It also uses skin, colour, hair and other major physical features. The major races are:
1. BLACK: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups found in Africa and other areas where blacks are found.
2. CAUCASOID. They are long-headed, wavy hair, brown to light complexion, narrow nosed. These people include the long headed people of Europe, North Africa, Western and Southern Asia.
3. AUSTRALASIAN. They have wooly hair, dark complexion, long headed and flat nosed. They are original inhabitant of Australia and Southern Asia.
4. MONGOLOID. They are broad headed, have straight hair, yellow or red complexion, noses of various types. They are the Chinese and the Americans.
RACISM.
This is the belief that one race is superior to another race. When a race is discriminated against and subjected to torture, we are talking about racism. A racist is biased and prejudiced. A racist discriminates against anyone who has a different skin colour or speaks a different language apart from his own.
Racism led to the institutionalization of apartheid in South Africa and introduced by whites in South Africa. This policy was shattered in 1991 with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison.
Racism is a product of prejudice, it is cruel and wicked and it is <crime against humanity>.
