Alright so, you know what your problem is? Education and exposure. Basically, in your minds because you had a poor excuse for an education, it has completely stunted your mental and psychological development. The funny thing is you will still stand up to be counted if asked if you did go to one. The second problem is exposure. You have been so imbibed into the archaic norm in Nigeria that normalcy is alien to you. What is normal is absurd in your small minds. I was a member of a fraternity in college. It was a collection of like minded students who had the same goals and ideals and we worked together to achieve it. Guess what? we never killed nor harassed anyone. In fact it was thing of pride to be part of our fraternity so much so the every male student wanted to be part of it. Now, like i said before, Soyinka thought he was dealing with human beings not knowing that in fact a huge percentage of Nigerians in Nigeria are basically bloodthirsty animals. He saw the good fraternities did in the civilized societies and thought he could bring such ideas to the animals in Nigeria. That is where he failed. Animals like yourselves don't know what is good for you. You prefer to live, eat and breed in ignorance and squalor. Hence the dilemma you find yourselves. How is it possible that what works in normal society becomes an abomination in that zoo you call a country?

God bless u

So it's this one you have been typing since that time? Ok. Let's start. You belonged in a fraternity. There was no killing and harassment. Who cares? We're talking about the fraternities here and their origin. Your problem is myopia. Have you really run things in a Nigerian university? I see kids just try to glorify stuff and I laugh. We grew inside fraternities and schooled inside them. You're a slowpoke if you try to justify the creation of pyrates confraternity and try to claim they started a good thing and people evil 'Nigerians' spoiled it. It was never good from the start. It's this same sugar-coating bullshit that has led so many young ones down that path with vain meaningless words spewed. Captain blood can try to launder his image to ignorant peeps determined to try to wash someone's name to be spotless. But not me. In what world does one emulate fraternities like Alpha Sigma Epsilon by creating something called Pyrates? Seriously? Pirate? And those bullshit spewed about fighting for equality? The image may have been laundered to the public by withdrawal from campuses and claiming not to be a cult. But you are an idiot for implying that Nigerians spoil everything while you and soyinka are Nigerians too. Now that the rest cults have gone haywire on campuses and streets, the pyrates are claiming angels. Now I've pretended like you're sensible. Back to troll mode. Now bark for me dog.

The way your dull mind works. Smh. This is the reason that in 2060, you all will still be asking the question "why are we not moving forward as a nation? If anyone asks you about the nigerian police force for instance you'll say "It was never good from the start". Question you small mind will never ask is; how come the police force functions properly in normal countries but fails woefully in yours? The obvious and glaring reason is that you all are phucked up from the floor up. You don't know how to maintain anything good. All you know how to do is destroy. Give me one thing that you guys are known for that is good apart from jollof rice . Whose problem is it that you cannot function like human beings?

You are very ignorant, bro. Very ignorant.

I was not the one you mentioned though but I couldn't but notice your ignorance.

ismokeweed:

With names like captain blood abi? Of course everyone will claim their intentions are perfect. Ayes have killed thousands but still go around shouting freedom fight and emancipation. See leave story. I've seen these people to the core so don't tell me what I know.

SMH... Ignorance. Ignorance!!!

It's my lucky day. Another dirty dog has come to play the barking game. Wear robes on a dog...It's still a dog. Now bark loud for me...

What do you know about Captain Blood or Long John Silver?

If you were a well-read person, you would see the relationship between the name "Captain Blood" and "Pyrate Confraternity".

Treasure island... bla bla bla. And what does a pirate stand for? Those were the only books they read and chose to model after? I mean there are books with great great adventurers like Alan Quantermain. Why model and brand after looters, scavengers, and sea dogs? When pyrates were still fully in campuses and when Bolaji carew formed the Buccaneers, can you honestly say pyrates never fought then? A laundered image is being sold now but I tell you I can't buy it because I've been there and I think for myself. Intelligence isn't just cramming the shit they write now. Everyone trying to clean up their image and claim that back then when pyrates were in campus, all they did was preach.

God, you actually expect me to spoonfeed you? You expect me to teach you everything for free?

Anyway, I would help you yet again. Listen, the members of Pyrate wanted to be nonconformists. Their motto was "Against All Conventions" especially against the upheld supremacy of the white race and the tribalism of fellow Nigerians. Pirates in the ordinary sense are nonconfirmists.They operate at sea under no recognized laws. The Pyrate Confraternity was modelled to represent a fight against legalized but terrible conventions same way pirates did.

NwaAmaikpe:


I on behalf of the Igbos on Nairaland
And the Indigenous People of Biafra wish the Prof a very happy birthday.

Even though we all know Chinua Achebe deserved that Nobel Prize in Literature and not you.
I still admire you.
Thanks for your literary works,
Thanks for your nonconformism
Thanks for the SeaDogs
Thanks for speaking up against oppression.

Happy birthday and many more years sir!

Did I just read a sensible comment from NwaAmaikpe??


I must be dreaming

Lool Omo Igbo be careful ooo...
