Pyrates Confraternity Officially Responds To The Trending Emilokan Video by blazestringz: 11:38pm On Aug 08, 2022 |
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! *Abiola Owoaje* NAS Cap’n 8th August 2022 41 Likes 8 Shares

What is done cannot be said not to have been done. We thank the Pyrates confraternity for the courage to speak truth to power about the vegetative state of Tinubu. We therefore urge members of the public to become Obi-dients and vote in a president that is 61 years of age, competent and Yusful. While we do this, we plead that the electorates should reject any contender in whatever capacity that is over 65years old. 2023 election is for the youths! And the youths must speak with one voice. 555 Likes 36 Shares |

Obudupikin: 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 211 Likes 3 Shares

I am liking the pyrates for doing Nigeriand a great favor when they need it most . The most successful song of the campaign so far. Whenever tinubu appears in the public people will be interested not in him but to confirm the facts of that song. Information successfully passed message gotten.

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 disgraced Infact, its actually HIS TURN to be disgraced 41 Likes 2 Shares |
