Fraternities are Viruses in Nigeria: Part 5 B – Hoppers

In FAVIN (Fraternities are Viruses in Nigeria) Part 5 (see: http://wp.me/p1bOKH-pT) the issue articulated was the interactions between Cheaters, Grudgers and Suckers in perpetual selfish game. That is, within the membership constitution of UCGFs (University Campus Grown Fraternities). See Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. From keener observation, there is another prevalent category of character within UCGFs. He has a more insidious nature. And certainly more of a threat to unsuspecting members of the fraternity and society than the dreaded Cheater. (more…)

Fraternities in Nigeria are now specialists in accumulating “financial bounties” with their leaders appropriating them; it is tantamount to corporate malfeasance. It may be unfortunate if not tragic that the founders of University Campus Grown Fraternities (UCGFs) established them them noble intentions. Alas, the rouges  within the UCGFs embody the very antics of “corporate malfeasance”. (more…)

Fraternities are Viruses in Nigeria: Part 7 – The Legality

Surprisingly, University Campus Grown Fraternities (UCGFs) are respectable in the eyes of many. Why? because of their status of being registered as “legal entities” with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Well, under the unusual classification of legal “non-profit” organisations in Nigeria, even if dubious.

It is besides the fact I emphasised in Part 6 (see http://wp.me/p1bOKH-q9) that many government establishments are ever more being infiltrated and dominated by members of UCGFs. And can use their derived power to launder their names or identities. Who is fooling who? (more…)

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…)
