*Setting the Records Straight*


In the last 48 hours, our attention has been drawn to a viral video of a song that has raised concerns and commentary across Nigeria.

For the avoidance of doubt, between August 4 and August 6 2022, the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) was in Ikeja, Lagos, for our 46th Annual General Meeting. This event was attended by over 2,000 of our members who came to Lagos from all over the world.

As part of the activities we were at the Isheri Primary Health Centre on Thursday 4th August, where we provided free medical services to the Isheri Community. Over 300 people were assisted with various forms of medical treatment. We were also at the Police Hospital, Area F, Ikeja, where we donated substantial quantities of PPEs and other medical supplies.

These were part of our NAS Medical Mission which was founded in 2012. In the 11 years since then, we have organised over 50 free medical missions that has made a difference to many disadvantaged communities across Nigeria.

Part of the annual general meeting was the review of all our advocacy, humanitarian and operational activities for the year. This, then, as usual, culminated in a celebratory procession. An aspect of this yearly process that we have undertaken for the last 46 years. In our view, it proceeded without event, until this extremely limited video made this appearance.

Quite contrary to the manner in which certain aspects of the video are being portrayed, no aspect of this procession or the event itself was political. Rather it was the typical climax of our annual general meeting. At no time in the history of this organisation has this event; or indeed any of our events had any slanted political leanings.

Let it be known that the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) does not mock or discriminate against the physical condition of any person. Never. It is an unfair characterisation and offends everything that we stand for. Indeed, this would cause offence to even our own members that are also, unfortunately, afflicted that this would never be condoned.

We must stress that we are apolitical. As an organisation, we have never had a preferred candidate in any political elections including the upcoming 2023 general elections. We have members who belong to different political parties and are absolutely free to support any candidate of their choice.

It is most unfortunate that political capital is being made of this with interpretations that are totally at variance with the philosophy of the Pyrates Confraternity. Unequivocally, we condemn this in very strong terms.

We understand that political merchants desperately seeking media mileage are all over the place misinforming and twisting events to suit their political agenda. However, we wish to reemphasise that the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) are not supporting or backing any candidate for the office of the President or any other office in the 2023 general elections and beyond.

As an organisation in tune with disadvantaged and voiceless people, we are committed to the enthronement of a just society in which no one is discriminated against based on tribe, religion, gender or disability. We are against conventions that are moribund. We have always stood for Humanistic ideals, comradeship and chivalry. Nothing that has happened can and will change that posture.

We are determined to continue to use our social programmes, intellectual platforms and our compelling songs to advocate for good governance and accountability!

Part of the ethos of pirates is to tell lies. The video speaks for itself. Instead of you to offer apology, you are trying to embellish the truth with polemics. This is completely unbelievable. A second tragedy after the video one.

Hand dey shaaaaaake, leg dey shaaake. Baba wey no well, e dey shout
Emilokan

Tinubu urchins, cassavorians,and agbadorians will keep defending this song From pirate's till when Peter Obi will be declared president.

AcuraZDX:
Even Soyinka that called a sitting President's wife a Shepopotamus in 2014, even had the guts to call the song "detastful". Wonders shall never end

Yes, Soyinka is right. The wife of the president isn't a public office holder

You are not the author of the song . but you are proud to propagate it . In other to spite him right.... But you love and feels happy with the idea of the song , it aligns with your cyber propaganda objectives. Cos if not, you will not be typing dis

You called tinubu
Common thief ? And show me the court judgment where he was convicted of stealing. Show me the EFCC/ICPC prosecutor who prosecuted him.... All these your beer parlor trial is a pointer to the fact that you are just bittered and desperate. Is he the only candidate there is? Who is afraid of him becoming president? So, in the political space, Tinubu stole more than Atiku? Peter Obi did not steal at all right? Why didnt you remeber to call those ones common theives for whatever they stole even if its just 100,000 naira, as it does not belong to them? Why the double standard? Why must one sinner be put to sword of your online propaganda and lies why the others who as guilty of same as politicians get to enjoy the Saint treatment because they are young air in your mind, they did not steal as much?

Why are you not shouting the names of the others on the internet that they are thieves, or you want to proof that they did not steal while in office?

And his age and health must not be under attack because he wants to be president. Do your opposition with respect for rights of individuals in mind.

Yar'dua was terminally ill, he admitted to it that he has an ailment but fortunately or unfortunately, he was arguably the kindest President ever, he loved the masses. So, even if he is ill, that should not be a reason to disenfranchise him. However, old age is not a sickness.

You sef wish to grow old. So, sell and vote your candidate and leave Tinubu alon

There are greedy thief and hungry thief, thief that will knock at your door and you shiver and the one that you will sneeze and he will run away, which one do you prefer to visit you?
Nobody would have discussed his state of health if he was coming out to preside over the affairs that concern us, you want people to keep quiet and not talk, we have many old sick people in the various homes, nobody talks about them, reason being that there is no need.
Tinubu is seeking for employment from the Nigerians, so we deserve to analyse his state of health and make public whatever the findings are. If he thinks we don't deserve to know, he should withdraw from public domain.
You too wouldn't settle for the less in the sincerity of your mind, the world does not end here, life na turn by turn.

Bobloco:
Tinubu told the whole Nigeria that it is His Turn to be president. How?

He thinks Nigeria as a whole is his personal company just like Lagos State where he alone determines who becomes governor.
The Emilokan crooner will be disgraced5847359
Infact, its actually HIS TURN to be disgraced

Lagosians should be grateful to Nigerians for delivering them from the spell BAT cast on them... That's if they truly want to be free.

BAT brought this ridicule & shame upon himself. He should have quit when the ovation was loudest. Maybe support a younger & vibrant person like PYO.
Not too late though,he can still support Peter Obi. That way he can have a sense of redemption before he finally bows out.

Yes,jack Sparrow

The NAS Cap’n spent time writing all that without addressing the main issue…he didn’t condemn the members who were singing the offensive song. Some of their faces were captured in the video so they wouldn’t have problem identifying some of them.

He also failed to say if NAS would sanction those identified.

I think he wrote nonsense.

I'm highly disappointed in these cultists. They can't even own up.
We all know what they meant so they should quit the denying

NaijaRoyalty:

Jokes are normally funny until it’s directed at you or the contents were centred around you or someone dear to you.

I find it disrespectful but I noticed I was humming the song while reading the comments here.

ElSudani:

Because what's is sung cannot be unsung.

No need for this, even there are people among the Pyrate confraternity that will vote for Ashiwaju Tinubu...it's just a cruise song...


Oppressors (3*)
Dema oppress me
Dem kill dele Giwa
Dem Murd Saro wiwa
Obo kill Abacha
Oppressors.....this is one of the numerous confra songs and it has never stopped plenty of them from supporting whoever they wish to ...Anyone that uses their song as a yardstick for support is a compound fool....lmfaoooooo

This is exactly what happened. Why some Tinubu urchins making it look like Peter Obi sent the pyrates to mock Tinubu is beyond reason.

SeunDAssLicker:


They’re quick to get in their feelings when you call them out. But when they troll the igbos, it is business as usual

I tell you...you will see them debating, giving speeches,advice, convulsing, constipating,etc, upandan

GoodLife4live:



1. You are not the author of the song . but you are proud to propagate it .

2. You called tinubu
Common thief ? And show me the court judgment where he was convicted of stealing.

3. ...to the fact that you are just bittered and desperate.

4. ...put to sword of your online propaganda and lies why the others who as guilty of same as politicians get to enjoy the Saint treatment because they are young air in your mind, they did not steal as much?


5. And his age and health must not be under attack because he wants to be president. Do your opposition with respect for rights of individuals in mind.


6. Yar'dua was terminally ill...

7. So, even if he is ill, that should not be a reason to disenfranchise him.

8. You sef wish to grow old

1. Very proud. I love the song like every other song that I did not compose, and very willing to share it too to people who enjoy good melody like me.

2. And a drug baron. The documents that indicted him are online. Go and verify.

3. Who is desperate? Myself or a sick old man who said he is ready to fight dirty because it is "his turn" to play with Nigeria.

4. Truth be told, no candidate is more vilified by online propaganda than Peter Obi. It's just that we, the supporters, refused to lay low and allow the propaganda and lies fly. We counter them whenever, wherever, and however.

5. Because he wants to be president is exactly why his age and health must be under scrutiny. Nobody would have cared if he was contesting to be chairman of his community meeting.

6. And how did he end? Remember the impasse it put the country into when he was in coma in a Saudi hospital for months?

7. Come on now, really? Like, did you actually mean that? That's a very illogical comment.

8. And live peacefully in that old age instead of going about with a frail body and shouting "emilokan" up and down.
