Nothingness: Fraternity Ladder Ambitions
Nothingness: Fraternity Ladder Ambitions (UCGF)
University Campus Grown Fraternities (UCGFs) in Nigeria are a usual a ‘dead end’. Yes, for those with benign ambitions and serious men. But for those gifted with niggardliness, low cunning, meanness with a heavy dose of unrealistic dreaming, they are “El Dorado seekers,” exemplified. Hence, the main goal of the fraternity member who cannot make better than his job pay grade in real life but wants to be a mega-whatever. Getting to the top of the fraternity becomes “the” super-ambition and mega-achievement. The climb to the top of the fraternity ladder is a common desire within. But, What for? Please look at the former heads of UCGFs. Now show to yourselves the ones whoever became a mega-achiever in any sphere of life in recent decades. Or even worse, who became a mega-achiever by being the top helmsman all by its self. There is nothing like that, nothingness. (more…)

Fraternities are Viruses in Nigeria: Part 7 – The Legality
Surprisingly, University Campus Grown Fraternities (UCGFs) are respectable in the eyes of many.

Fraternities are Viruses in Nigeria: Part 6 – The Selection
If you live in a home with illustrious parents with lots of affluence and you have brothers, think. There is a reasonable likelihood that you have a member of a UCGF in your household. Fact! The primary insidious practices of the Cheaters that run UCGFs have always been to recruit as several members of high ability (used as Suckers) and those with inherited high social status in their ranks (also Suckers). Members of UCGFs from humble backgrounds make up the numbers and used as cannon fodder. (more…)

Fraternities Are Viruses in Nigeria: Part 4 – The Deviation
University Campus Grown Fraternities (UCGFs) started as idealistic brotherhoods with the reverie of changing some aspects of society. Most founding members never believed it would achieve its aim, become a prominent phenomenon, or even become a menace to society (which they have become). Academics and intellectuals were most of the young founders. “Frankenstein’s monster” came too early. The plethora of organisational failures that came to plague UCGFs is infectious. (more…)
