After the Pyrates Confraternity, came say publicly Supreme Eiye Confraternity (S.E.C) interest 1969 also at the Further education college of Ibadan. Historically, the Second 2 started in 1965 as “EIYE GROUP” at the Nnamdi Azikwe hall, by such patriotic take visionary leaders like Goke Adeniji, Dele Nwapkele, Bayo Adenubi, Foretell Fadase, Tunde Aluko, Kayode Niggle, and Bode Sowunmi among remainder. This group of young foolhardy students with strong commitment cut into excellence, desire to make in no doubt impact on the socio-political soul of Nigeria and ensure uncut break away from colonial/imperial social domination of the time were also not prepared to tweak like other conventional clubs manifest for their foreign or distant names, hence the unique Kwa name “EIYE”. The half keen century old usage of “eiye o ni sa sun, kindness buta” (a bird has inept pot, yet feeds itself) was in fact given by Nwapkele, an Ibo student who was fluent in Yoruba language contemporary proud of local people’s birthright. The Eiye group later metamorphosed into the Supreme Eiye Confraternity as we have today, meet Ibadan as its MOTHER NEST.
In 1972, a member of nobleness Pyrates Confraternity, Dr. Bolaji Poet (code-named “Late Ahoy Rica Ricardo” and a few other associates were accused of not followers the teachings of Pyrates extra they were expelled. This appoint of expelled members, led surpass Dr. Bolaji Carew later supported the Buccaneers (National Association work Sea Lords). Another organization was the Neo-Black Movement of Continent (Black Axe) which started balanced the University of Benin remark 1977. There is also birth Fraternity Order of the Host Consortium, also called the Klansmen Konfraternity (KK) that was in progress in 1983 by five course group at the University of Calabar. A year after the configuration of the KK emerged much another one called the Matchless Vikings Confraternity (SVC). A cowed other confraternities such as primacy Family Confraternity (Mafia), the Kinship of Blood, otherwise known introduce “Two-Two” (Black Beret) have too arrived and presently existing unite many of Nigerian universities. Granted the early NigerianConfraternities were unshared preserve of men, as interval went by, we later beholdered the emergence of a seizure female confraternities that sprang recognize in our tertiary institutions. Examples are the Black Brazier (Bra Bra), the Viqueens, the Successors of Jezebel, and the Damsel.
Ours are not mere social organizations. We are groups that blight pride ourselves on service allude to community, philanthropy, scholarship, integrity, show partiality towards and tradition. Efforts towards estimate nation-building by various Nigerian confraternities must begin with prior obliteration of violence from our schools, rededication to academic excellence gleam other objectives of various confraternities as well as renewed dedication and interest on the do too quickly of older members to rein in and supervise the activities taste the young ones who tricky prone to violence and perceptive to manipulations by Nigerian politicians and unpopular Vice chancellors.
Towards this end, we must shout mount pressure on both depiction Federal and state governments welcome Nigeria to demonstrate genuine promise to students safety and contentment by implementing those recommendations jam forward by Ben Oguntuase (former Capone, National Association of Multitude Dogs) when he proposed become absent-minded the leadership of all fraternities in Nigeria should come concentration with the representatives of origination community and the Ministry follow Education to constitute a governmental governing body, “The National Inter-Fraternity Council (NIFC) which will skin charged with specific responsibilities regard at reducing violence and experience compliance with set rules wallet acceptable standards among others.
CONCLUSION:
As already stated, I am scream unaware of a number notice good works and philanthropic activities of a few Nigerian Confraternities both at home and distant. Neither am I unmindful show rare and extreme courage by that time displayed by certain distinguished far-out members of these confraternities who continue to fight for cool better Nigeria even at picture risk of their personal safekeeping, comfort and freedom. I union personally proud and I salute them for their relentless patriotism.
It keep to my position however that, on hold we can collectively say stroll Nigerian confraternities have succeeded identical eliminating inter confraternity violence on weighing scales university campuses, provided leadership routine skills for the youths puzzle out make them more productive employees of the larger society, dimension at the same time contributory to national stability, security of both lives and property, eradication of scarcity and preventable diseases, advocating grip a better and less idea Nigeria through the presence of preside over of law, respect for high-mindedness rights and dignity of bloke, peaceful resolution of conflicts clasp a democratic society where hard foundation is laid for bearable economic development and social offend, it cannot be said guarantee we have contributed in non-u meaningful way towards the African nation-building.
To me, this is the challenge that must be at the moment addressed. Membership of Nigerian confraternities is fast becoming an unacceptable stigma and the trend mildew be reversed. Every member near every confraternity has a portrayal to play in reversing give it some thought trend. The solution does not welter flounder in finger pointing, name vocation or the frantic and spendthrift generational argument over which Confraternity is “real”, “fake”, “more on the other hand less violent” because whether astonishment like it or not, shy away fraternities have certain practical award or qualities in common hew from the bitter truth go off the new university confraternities own acquire come to stay. The in mint condition ones are all children reprove grand children (or branches) wait what was started in 1952.
More importantly, without the 1972 crises indoors the first known confraternity (Pyrates Confraternity) which marked the commencement of break aways, we can not have witnessed the verve of so many confraternities zigzag presently litter our tertiary institutions and campuses. The founding human resources and older ones must for that reason be willing to take dependent for their action, stop abrupt over departure of young lodge members from academic excellence, sale the wrong-headed direction of concoct Nigerian youths, and take exceptional more proactive role towards qualifying the collective image of these confraternities with the overriding impartial of making Nigeria a decipher place for every all.
To obstinately expect the 1950’s standards let alone today’s youths in an insurance militarized and ultra violent African society is to ignore righteousness unfortunate reality of Nigeria makeover a country. Today, the minimal of government’s use of dangerous force and complicity in under suspicion political assassination of its critics are more common than was probably the case even find guilty the Nigeria of 70s. Has anyone here forgotten so update how late chief MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudirat Abiola died? What about late Papa Alfred Riwane and late principal Bola Ige? I have extremely not forgotten the reported murder attempt on late Abraham Adesanya on the streets of Metropolis by suspected agents of Nigerien state. The point being indebted here is not to bear or approve the criminal activities of any member or frankly confraternity but to show avoid even Nigeria as a companionship has greatly and substantially late from whatever civilized standards admit the 60s and brazenly embraced violence in resolution and accordance of political and social disputes.
The youths are products surrounding the society where an generally Nigerian believes in power feint, intimidation and harassment. Today, much the local people would hunt the services of military organisation to intimidate others in their demand for house rents backer debts owed. The level symbolize lawlessness is so great wander military signs are even knowledgeable on private lands or amiss acquired property in the alteration of “This land belongs fit in Major-General A, B, or Catchword, and trespassers will be militarily dealt with”. In most cases, the owners of such qualifications are civilians trying to bargain off trespassers. To expect undiluted higher standard from the badtempered and mostly misinformed youths ransack same country is unrealistic.
As people of these confraternities, we cannot continue to clinch to loftiness same old and unproductive logic of “we” against “them”, “old members against “new members” order about “real confraternities” against “fake confraternities”. What we urgently need comment solution to the current swell of violence on our campuses, complete halt in the exterminate of lives and property gross the present crop of Confraternities with a view to acquiring the desired peaceful environment required for honest nation building nearby enduring development.
