Nigeria's campus cults: Buccaneers, Black Axe and other feared groups By Helen Oyibo BBC Pidgin, Lagos Published 2 June 2020 Share Roland* was a first-year student when he joined the Buccaneers, a secret, illegal student society in Nigeria. A brutal initiation ritual was held late at night in the forest. Older members, singing, dancing and drinking, formed a ring around him and other blindfolded initiates, beating them severely until the early hours of the morning. The ritual was supposedly to purge the initiates of weaknesses and instil bravery in them. "The moment you go in there and come out, you are a different person," Roland told the BBC. These societies, also referred to as confraternities and campus cults, have names like Vikings, Black Axe, Eiye (a word in the local Yoruba language for bird), and the Buccaneers.

REVIEWS AND INSIGHTS Amazon Customer 5.0 out of 5 stars No Nonsense Style - Content that yield results - and FAST!! Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018 Verified Purchase I'm no new to demonolatry, and yet I'm impressed by the beautiful simplicity of the rituals. I've worked so far with 9 demons from the book and although most of the rituals are long term and sort of grow, I can say that the effects are manifesting rather quickly. The method works! the imagery is profoundly connective. The methodology removes the fluff and does NOT demand blind devotion. It only requires from us honesty, knowing what we want and undergoing the experience. That's it, that's all. I reeeeally recommend this book to beginners and to more experienced practitioners who are curious to work with demons in a different way. EDIT: Yesterday 28th October, 2018, I worked with BOROB to lucid dream. He was the 10th demon I worked with. I accessed Lucidity that same ...
