Secret societies should be banned because they are devilish, quite costly and discriminatory, besides they generate unnecessary conflicts.
After the basic initiation rites have been performed, a member of a secret society may still be called upon to perform propitiatory and ceremonial rites, which may often involve human sacrifice, ritual murder and other practices that are often diabolical in nature. Some members of some secret societies are known to have offered their parents as sacrifice for some anticipated material benefits. Others are suspected of having brought sudden death on innocent road users through accidents by magical or mysterious means. Belated travellers have been kidnapped, maimed and, much worse, used as sacrificial lambs to meet the insatiable demands of secret societies.
Another problem of secret societies, and indeed one that has far reaching consequences for our society is the huge sums of money spent on burial rites and other social programmes of these societies. The burial of a member of a secret society is often the period when its members show their wearing expensive trinkets and clothes. The oath of allegiance that the members of secret societies take compels every member to adopt an identical lifestyle. Members are, therefore, constrained to maintain their status quo even at the expense of a dwindling economy. Every member must pay all the levies to participate in the programmes of these societies.In most cases, defaulters are made to pay heavy fines. There is, thus a high rate of hypertension among members who cannot make ends meet.
Secret societies cause alienation. When some people are identified as members of these secret societies, there is the tendency for those who do not belong to the same organizations to look at them with suspicion and spite. In short, innocent members of the society dread any form of social relationship with the initiates of secret societies.
Evidently, secret societies negate the fundamental tenets of human interaction and the universal brotherhood of mankind, and as a matter of fact, such societies should be banned.
