Wawelexy: I know what I am saying ... I'm simply telling you the truth. Its up to you to keep propagating falsehood or discover the truth for yourself - either ways , that doesn't change the truth ... The Pyrates do not claim to be perfect humans but they are far different ( in substance and essence ) from campus cults ... This misnomer eventually made the Pyrates to withdraw their activities from the Nigerian campuses.... Sadly though the wrong connotation has continued and you are unknowingly joining the bandwagon to perpetuate falsehood... Its up to you to keep spreading the lies or realise the truth ... Take care Brother One love |

Krismas: Can you go to a Book Haram website and apply for membership or go to their club houses in the 36 states to grab a beer or meal. Does Boko Haram carry out advocacy under their name?. Can they hold an event and invite the public through all major media. Are they recognized by the government and duly registered by CAC. My brother like I said carry out research before commenting. The PC is not and has never been one. Peace 1 Like |

pimper24: ...You were scammed and probably would have been scammed more if you didn't leave that fake group parading itself as the Pyrates (unknown to many unsuspecting citizens,there are many groups now parading themselves as Pyrates but are actually fakes in search for money and members)... For your information, You don't need to buy a form to join the Pyrates ...I will have to stop here for now |

rhames:So if Rhames hasn't seen me in public saying "I condemn boko-haram killings", it means I support boko-haram? Can we please be more rational with our thinking; stop looking for who to blame for your predicaments my friend. Nevertheless, WS has always condemned the activities of criminal gangster organisations, cultist and occultists who claim to be confraternities in higher institutions. To express his disapproval and dissociate his group from the madness, he has since pulled out his group the Pyrates from higher institutions. Like several people have mentioned here, to be a member, you have to have graduated and I think even finished NYSC. But anyway, feel free by all means to keep blaming him for your life's predicaments if that makes you feel better. |

etrange: You see, all these things have been discussed so many times over the decades such that when people make comments like the kind that I have seen on this thread, I wonder if they are serious or joking. That's why I sometimes choose not to answer. What did Wole Soyinka study at the University of Ibadan? Answer: English literature, Greek, and Western history. What is Professor Wole Soyinka's profession? Answer: He is a playwright and novelist. Where did all those names come from? Answer: Treasure Island. What is Treasure Island? Answer: It is a book that is often used to English Literature. I listened to a BBC interview a long time ago (decades ago), in which Professor Soyinka addressed this issue. The interviewer called these organisations "cults" and Professor Soyinka said that they are not cults, they are youth gangs. He explained that it was because of these youth gangs that he ordered that the Pyrates Fraternity should cease existing on university campuses. He blamed the government for allowing these youth gangs to exist and he even hinted at the fact that a lot of the members are children of people in government and that's why the government had not done anything about them. He condemned the barbaric acts that were committed by these youth gangs. That was on the BBC World Service Radio a long time ago. 1 Like |

alabo1:U canbe positively certain Boko Haram held ramadan lectures openly recently and made recruits by moral persuasion on the said day. U are more to me like a blind guide from your comments. Cos PC represent more harm dan good. If u look well, on dis thread someone was also advancing ur kind of argument to justify ROF. If PC is unhappy wit d secret cult tag its getting from us, let dem go to court for clarification. Atleast AMORC did so and its clearer to dem now that they are a secret society legally. Until den, PC is a secret cult, confirm. |
Re: Pyrates Confraternity: Soyinka At Nathaniel Oyelola's Burial (Video) by etrange: 4:01pm On May 29, 2021 |
naptu2: Ok. Thanks. But I still don't see how the name is justified though. There are a billion names they could have chosen from literature, names that would better reflect their goal. Why pyrate? Fraternity isn't necessarily good or bad. It depends on what they do. But when the word is qualified with another word that is explicitly negative, would you still blame anyone for drawing conclusions on the type of fraternity? And since he has called for the end of these fraternities, why still dress in red and match with members at the burial of an ex member? What message does that send in these times when we are struggling to put an end to all this? |
Re: Pyrates Confraternity: Soyinka At Nathaniel Oyelola's Burial (Video) by naptu2: 4:06pm On May 29, 2021 |
etrange: How do you know that there are a billion names that would better reflect their goals and what is wrong with the name?? Have you read the book?? Do you know the meaning of the term Fraternity?? Where did I say that he called for an end to fraternities and why would he do that. He ordered that the Pyrates Fraternity to cease existing in university campuses because some fraternities on campuses had morphed into youth gangs and he didn't want the same to happen to the Pyrates Fraternity. That was a long time ago and they have ceased existing on university campuses decades ago. Why shouldn't he wear red? Do you want to police what a free man chooses to wear in a democracy?? That's why I said that I'm often unsure whether to answer these questions because I'm not sure if the people that ask them are serious or not. Do you know the difference between a youth gang and a fraternity?? |

naptu2:Listen to urself! To a simple question, WHY PYRATE FOR NAME? for a supposedly fantastic organization? U lunch into treasure island? Have u read the book? Do u know wot characters the professor was trying so hard to copy-copy? He is d one who introduced the word BUCCANEER to us! And there are no good buccaneers or holy sea dogs.

Krismas: Like I said ignorance is your problem. The PC has gone to courts and obtained judgement that they are not a cult the latest obtained at a Court of Appeal against the Rivers State Government in February 2020.It is not a cult anymore than the AMORC or ROF or Masons you referred to. How does it do more harm than good? Do they engage in any illicit activity? The club houses are open to members and non members alike unlike the ROF you mentioned. Please like I said read and be informed. Regards 2 Likes |

naptu2: I was not particular about the "fraternity". Any group of people with shared interest could form a fraternity. So no, this isn't about the meaning of the word "fraternity" as a fraternity could be good or bad. It's about how they named the fraternity, Pyrates. Even if they called it "Pyrate Angels", it would still beg for answers as regards why the angels call themselves pirates. In this case, it could be argued that they never had bad activities or intended any. That might be true, there's no way I'd know. But I'm only saying the name they chose to give the fraternity doesn't really reflect the claim that they are in it for good. You've clarified it's from literature. But seeing how vast literature is, it's still mind boggling why they'd settle for a name that easily sells them as a bunch of thieves (pirates). Anyway, the idea that the name was just based off literature is a thoery as Soyinka was probably the only one who was a Literature student out of the so-called "Magnificent 7". According to Soyinka himself, the name "Pyrates Confraternity" was chosen for "fun" and intended to mock, and the "y" was intended to dissociate the group from modern pirates. My point here is that the name which might have been fun to them then does not really support the image they try to sell now. Pirates are robbers. And I wouldn't blame anyone for being sceptical about that. I'm not saying thier fraternity was bad, I'm saying the name is enough reason to be sceptical. So I wouldn't insinuate people are dumb for being sceptical about it. |
