1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The socio-ethical implications of ritual
slaughter are societal anguish. It has caused severe anguish and sorrow
to many people, as well as considerable distress to the victims' family
and relatives. Elesho, (2004) posits that ritual killing is anti-social
and should be opposed in order to put a stop to this inhumane practice.
A society that does not value human life is a dangerous place to live.
Humans are not animals that can be slaughtered at will. Animals are
intended to be sacrificed if necessary. Human life is sacrosanct and
should be treated accordingly. As a result, killing another human being
for ritual purposes is morally wrong (Nwafor 2017).
Youths have been
made by the society to believe that money, wealth and affluence is every
thing. The social media expands this believe by showcasing things that
are not real thereby, bringing a sense of failure to the youths who
believe that the only way they can achieve great success within a short
period of time is through engaging in acts like ritual killings, yahoo
plus and so on. It is against this backdrop that this study seeks to
investigate the societal influence on youth ritualism.
