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.

stanliwise:

And what exactly is your idea?
Most cult existing now and killing our youth are still confraternities, even in most of their books and doctrine none of the killing were mentioned there. But now come to reality the reverse is the case.
No one here is a kid and stop using wordplay here

1MCN:
Shouldn't Soyinka overgrow this cultism at this age and stage?

naptu2:


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.

...You made no point and your escape route is insult. I rest my case!

Please read carefully before commenting. My point for the record is that the Pyrates Confraternity is not a cult by definition or by their activities (past and present). In fact a church by its activities matches the definition of a cult more than the PC. The cults you say are killing our youths are gangs and not confraternities.

Majority of Nigerians don't know any better - we are a special breed!

Why will he follow Christ, is a white man?Thank you my bro.....Nigerians gave away their own religion/culture and start to embrace another mans religion....Africa will never move forward with the way we take religion as the answer to all our problems.

......... Many dead souls would have been alive if Wole and co didn't create that shit. U are d cofused one here cos u don't even know about this people(from ur wrong definition). If u try to justify cultism or confraternity(anyhow u put it), i will insult u again and again cos u deserve it.

BSdetector:
Any society formed.....first rule: bar igbos from joining. They infect everything they're part of....same thing happened with ogboni. But most people won't learn or understand.

obailala:
Since we're in the season of irrational blames, why dont you blame the person who founded the University of Ibadan instead?... If that university wasnt founded, Soyinka wouldn't have even been a student there at all, let alone forming a confraternity.
