What nonsense is this??

Ok, Sir Bob Geldoff, who led the Live Aid and Band Aid charity events was a member of a band called the Boom Town Rats. That means that they are evil people because they named themselves after rats, right?

My God!

The Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball club is an evil organisation, don't you know?

There are a lot of morons in Nigeria. Pls ignore them.

That's what we are telling you.

We are not saying that there are no violent organisations in universities. There are. Those are youth gangs.

What Professor Wole Soyinka started was not a youth gang.

Some of the fraternities in universities turned into youth gangs and because of that Professor Soyinka ordered that there should be no Pyrates Fraternity in universities.

Those that still exist in universities are not part of the original Pyrates Fraternity (now known as National Association of Seadogs).

There are fraternities and sororities in Nigeria that are not youth gangs. I gave you an example, the Confraternity of Christian Mothers.

However, dangerous youth gangs exist in Nigerian universities and they've gotten worse because some of them have become mafia organisations.

Oh shut up
Pyrates are still on deck and they attend FOB
Stop the publicity
Just shut up
You don’t know them

NAS left the campuses since 1984. The association has written to the police, Vice-Chancellors and to the general public on numerous occasions that anybody caught parading himself as Pyrate in any Nigerian university should be arrested and prosecuted. Those guys on campuses are mimics (illegals) and have no association whatsoever with the one and only true confraternity - Pyrates Confraternity.

Visit www.nas-int.org for more information.

Laughable
You are totally ignorant on all fronts. Aside their recent split/divided ship, they have been on campus till date.


Professor Hezekiah Oluwasanmi, Vice Chancellor (1966 -75) University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University that first brought Campus Confraternities problems to the public glare, when he proscribed the Pyrates Confraternity at the University of Ife, after a skirmish between the Pyrates and Students Community. Professor Ade Ajayi, Vice Chancellor. University of Lagos, was the next in line to proscribe Students Confraternities on  Campus, after some Students mustered courage and attacked  Pyrates Confraternity (Walrus Deck) sally, over reported cases of excessive intimidation and molestation, it was a bloody attack, with both sides sustaining serious injuries, the Pyrates were the worse off and also suffered public humiliation, after being  overrun by the large group of Students, captured Pyrates were striped naked and paraded around the campus. Other Institutions later proscribed Campus Cult, with Professor Banjo, Vice Chancellor of University of Ibadan, where Student Confraternity started in 1952, with the formation of the Pyrates Confraternity by seven (7) Students, (popularly referred to as the Magnificent seven) which included Prof Wole Soyinka (Captain Blood of Tortuga in Pyratical circles) Prof Bolanle Awe. Ralph Opara, Ikpebare Aig-Imokhuede, etc, being the last to proscribe Confraternities on Campus in 1985.

Pyrates never left deck, they were expelled from certain decks/tertiary institutions. The NAScapoon may have tried to save face but they have already been disgraced since the 70s
You guys don’t know PC that’s why you’re talking trash. Is it because the only members you see are old men? Smh

Shouldn't Soyinka overgrow this cultism at this age and stage?

Smh
Cultism indeed

I’m tired of unintelligible people like this

The topic says Pyrate 'confraternity',I wonder why this people above me are shouting 'cultism',is it that some people cannot comprehend or is it ignorance of the highest order.
Merriam Webster dictionary defines confraternity as a society devoted to a religious or a charitable cause.
I certainly know from information available to all, that the pyrate confraternity is a charity organization,made up of like minds with the goal of creating an egalitarian society where the strong protects the weak and men are weighed by the strength of their character and not by the colour of their skins,religion or ethnicity. Little wonder why they are highly revered in and outside Nigeria for notable achievements in humanitarian activities and social reengineering.
I guess if this isn't a noble society of men,they likes of Prof Wole Soyinka and hundreds of notable men who associates with this group,could have dissociated for preservation of their reputation and image.

Thanks for defining the differences between confraternities and cultisms to them. However, tell your RBs to stop the media junketing and blackmail on Buccaneers.

Obviously, you are a pained HL. I won't be surprised if you are a BAN member and i am sure you are in this much pain because whatever you belong to was founded by expelled members of PC due to their "unbuccanneering" behaviour. You will be alright last last.

Lol who is this wannabe Seadog? The real Lori aja knows what I’m talking about and he didn’t say shit. Go and ask Femi Jarret and Ogunleye to tell you the truth. Don’t come here and spew trash. How can you expel someone that has already denounced his membership? �

The name “Buccaneer” will always hurt PC.

Vickyvice:
you are right. But it was later bastardized by miss reants, vagrants, who later joined the group, cos they thought it was meant to oppress others

You’re � correct. And they in fact oppressed non-initiates and even some of their fellow deckhands

Stop arguing with yourself you are just embaracing yourself as well.What do you mean by pyrate you just define what it mean to us which the membershas their own objective and mission. How do you define BLM they said to defend black people but today they are killing the same black they are defending.



My brother, because a few members went rogue at a certain time does not mean that the whole confrat is to be blamed
