As pointed out by Eric, this is a quoting issue. I had some rough days
setting it up. But with help from others, I got to know this. I am not
using fancy splitting. I am using simple splitting and here is my setup:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
1 (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods ; codeisgreat.org
2 	     `(nnimap "codeisgreat"
3 		      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
4 		      (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
5 		      (nnimap-expunge immediately)
6 		      (nnimap-stream ssl)
7 		      (nnimap-split-methods ,nnmail-split-methods)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Notice backquote on line 2 and comma on line 7. And
‘nnmail-split-methods’ is defined like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(("cron" "^from:.*Cron Daemon")
	("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app0>")
	("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app1>")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
