The Night They Came for Me in Warri: Why I Still Refuse Secret Cult

Back in 2018, I was in 200 level at a federal university in Warri. I was a quiet boy from a poor home, just trying to graduate and help my mother. Then the cult boys started coming around. They were smooth at first. Free drinks, rides in their cars, promises of protection. My roommate, a guy called Tega, joined them and changed overnight. He stopped coming to class, started carrying a dangerous look in his eyes. I knew something was off when he came back with fresh cuts on his arm and refused to explain. One night, three of them cornered me outside the hostel. Tega was with them. They said I had to join or I'd never be safe on campus. They said they'd mark me as an enemy. I remember standing there, my heart pounding, but something inside me just refused to bow. I told them: "I didn't come to this school to die for a title." That night, they beat me. Broke my rib. I spent a week in the school clinic. Tega never spoke to me again. I lost every friend I had in that circle. For the rest of my time in school, I walked alone, always looking over my shoulder. Today, I am a graduate working a small job in Warri. I hear some of those boys are dead or in prison. Tega got expelled after a cult clash. Me? I am still alive, still free. The cost of saying no was high, but the cost of saying yes would have been higher. I do not regret it one bit. If you are on that fence, run the other way. No group is worth your life.
