"…Wherever the community in which we exist needs a hand, in whatever cause, the PYRATE must be FIRST.”
On Saturday, 13th December 2025, a member of the National Association of Seadogs, Mr Emmanuel Enya (), guided by pure humanistic instincts, stopped at Ojota Bus Stop, inward Maryland, Lagos, to attend to a pregnant woman in active labour who had been abandoned on the street. He successfully delivered her male infant with the assistance of other noble citizens, way before further official help arrived at the scene.
This act reflects one of the four decades-old compass points at the heart of our association's essence - FOR HUMANISTIC IDEALS - a core principle that compels Seadogs to act selflessly in defense of human dignity and life.
While we commend this courage, we call on relevant government agencies to be more proactive in responding to medical emergencies, especially for vulnerable citizens. Access to affordable and available healthcare is not a priviledge. It is a necessity.
The National Association of Seadogs remains committed to service, humanity, and social responsibility.
