Top 7 Most Popular Confraternities (cult ) In Nigeria And Their History by lordkhalifa(m): 4:02pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
the Pyrates, the “Magnificent Seven”, as
they called themselves, observed that the
university was populated with wealthy
students associated with the colonial
powers and a few poorer students striving
in manner and dress to be accepted by the
more advantaged students, while social
life was dictated by tribal affiliation.
Soyinka would later note that the Pyrates
wanted to differentiate themselves from
“stodgy establishment and its pretentious
products in a new educational institution
different from a culture of hypocritical
and affluent middleclass, different from
alienated colonial aristocrats”. The
organization also known as the National
Association of Seadogs (NAS) adopted
the motto “Against all conventions”, the
skull and crossbones as their logo, while
members adopted confraternity names
such as “Cap’n Blood” and “Long John
Silver”.
When fellow students protested a proposal
to build a railroad across the road
leading to the university, fearing that
easier transportation would make the
university less exclusive, the Pyrates
successfully ridiculed the argument as
elitist.
Roughly analogous to the fraternities and
sororities of North America, the Pyrates
Confraternity proved popular among
students, even after the original members
moved on. Membership was open to any
promising male student, regardless of
tribe or race, but selection was stringent
and most applicants were denied. For
almost 20 years, the Pyrates were the only
confraternity on Nigerian campuses.

A major impetus for the creation of new confraternities was the fact that members of the new groups simply did not meet the high academic and intellectual standards set by the Seadogs, and thus considered the original organization to be elitist..
