Occultism can be defined as the wilful or unwilling association with supernatural beings or powers for ephemeral gains.
Students tangle with the occult because most of them are always finding shortcuts to success.The ideals of hard work, discipline and selfless dedication to God as the path to profound success that pastors, priests and teachers profess, is often ignored by wayward students in search of material gains. Children of this calibre are easy prey for the devil.
They are promised by evil spirits or their agents with popularity among their peers, successes in exams, personal beauty or handsomeness, excessive wealth and all a poor student can think of.
Since money is the seed of all vanity, some parents are even the source of evil spirits that bedevil their offspring. They initiate them in satanic cults and make them worship tin gods, engage in sexual orgies, homosexuality, desecrate churches or do any outrageous thing that can displease God, so that the devil can see them as true disciples of Beelzebub.
The bottom line of this hard talk is that the gainful teaching-learning process is handicapped as students no longer concentrate in classes. In the last couple of years, many schools have been subject to demonic cults, with students accused of all sorts of things.
Confessions were aplenty, as some admitted drinking blood or eating human flesh in night parties in the near or far skies, seas and lands.In the heat of exorcisms, some even admit the sequential killing of humans through accidents, so that the occultists can have their blood feasts.
The question now is: where do we go from here? Schools have used all types of formulas to tackle the problem. Some resorted to outright dismissals in the case of any noticeable sign or invited the clergy to wipe out the challenge of the devil.
Saint Paul's Higher Comprehensive College of Bonjongo, Buea, is one of such schools where the holistic approach was applied to tackle the problem of occultism. Last year was primetime for the students that tangle with occultism to manifest their spells.
Demon-induced illnesses of cerebral malaria and asthma were plenty to the embarrassment of even medical doctors. They could not explain why their wonder drugs have miserably failed to foment cures or some relief as universally expected.
However, Fr. Aloysius Ituka Ndifor, then principal of the college, took a fatherly approach to solve a problem that was threatening the smooth functioning of his school. The students were introduced to the culture of regular meditation and prayers as that path of the Lord's battle against evil.
Students who confessed their belonging to the occult were given the chance to repent and be delivered through a series of prayer sessions. Students who felt that their pacts with the devil couldn't be broken, because of the so-called comfort they derive from demonic powers, were dismissed.
As an observer, I was particularly sad to see a mother cry out in agony when her daughter blatantly refused to say that Jesus Christ is Lord. The daughter was very friendly with Satan to the extent that she saw no good in our Lord and Saviour Jesus, despite all the prayers and persuasions. Technically speaking, such a student is not good for a school environment.
We know that many people will say that it is the utmost duty of the church to save souls. My dear friends, only willing souls can be saved from the lake of fire in hell.The media too, caught the fever of the fight against occultism in schools, as many institutions were cited as the bastion of the dark art.
Negative publicity got parents scared to the extent that many felt their children should come back home or change schools, without knowing that they could actually be moving from the frying pan into the fire.
However, like all battles between good and evil, the good in our Lord prevailed as calm has returned throughout Cameroon. And St. Paul's College of Bonjongo that took the challenge to combat the forces of darkness head on, spent the 2007/2008 academic year in all serenity in service of the Lord.
The first sign to suspect in a child that is dabbling with occultism is unexplained arrogance. A parent may notice some abrupt and sequential misbehaviour of his/her child. His or her sexual expression becomes very open for all to see. In other words, the child feels like he or she is the new master of the household.
Secondly, bizarre objects like rings designed in the form of a coffin, ancient insignia of pagan gods and some desecrated Christian objects too, are used as a mask. Occult literature, is often used to permit the subject ascend the ranks of his/her newfound world, where the knowledge of evil is a criteria for promotion.
Parents should not shy away from searching their children's room when they feel suspicious about something. Children in the occult world are prone to frightful nightmares as they often come across powers superior to theirs. They are often punished by their masters or goddesses when they fail to accomplish certain tasks.
As sexual promiscuity has taken deep root in our society, handsome young men and beautiful ladies (mostly children in their teens) are recruited by the occult to spread their kind. Therefore, parents should note when their child suddenly becomes promiscuous.

Children should also be taught that involvement in sorcery is an offence punishable by our law courts. And the government too, was particularly serious in monitoring the awkward situation that hijacked our schools, as children even in government institutions were not spared, when they dared into occultism to destabilize our school system.
This a load of superstitious rubbish.
