The National Association of Seadogs, Pyrates Confraternity, regrets to announce to the general public, the postponement of its 2013 edition of NAS Charity Red Ball event, which was scheduled to hold in Awka, Anambra state on May 4, 2013.

The National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) has been involved and continues to be involved in a number of significant activities throughout its 60-year history including humanitarianism, volunteerism and community service. These have always been part of the pyratical experience, as encapsulated in the Association’s 3rd Compass Point: For Humanistic Ideals. To an extent, humanitarianism has become part of the integral function of the organisation, given that Humanitarianism and Human Rights are closely associated.

Communiqué issued at the Second Biennial Summit of the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity), held at the Events Centre, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos State on Friday, February 1, 2013

Nigeria cuts the image of a nation at war with herself. Everyday, the reports of needless carnage amid pervasive corruption and the ostentatious lifestyles of elected leaders are paradoxical and disheartening. After 52 years as a politically - independent country, Nigeria faces blinding poverty, a decayed Education system, an unproductive leadership, terrible social infrastructure, grave social and civil insecurity and a despondency that is so pervasive that the country seems to have declared war on herself.
