The National Association of Seadogs aka Pyrates Confraternity, Enugu Chapter has cautioned the citizens of Enugu to be mindful of their activities in this intense festive season. In line with it’s humanistic ideals, the Chapter President, Joe Mazeli stated this while addressing newsmen on Sunday , December 15,2024 at their Anchor Point, Rangers Avenue, Independence Layout Enugu.
He urged the people to be mindful of the bustling and hustling associated with this period, encouraging them to take things easy and hope for the best.
According to him, “being alive should be the priority of every Enugu residents, instead of struggling over things that don’t really matter. What you didn’t get today, can be gotten tomorrow. Road users – public and private should remember there are loved ones waiting for you to arrive home safely. Over speeding should be avoided every time, but especially this period. Obey all traffic rules, inspect the conditions of your vehicle before moving out, put on seat belt always, and be friendly to your fellow passengers”.
He went on to solicit for the reenactment of the old brotherliness and good neighbourliness that Enugu is known for. “Let’s look out for our neighbours, our friends, our families, and our colleagues. Such little love performs a lot of magic than expected; we need each other to survive our current economic realities”.
Mr Mazelli emphasised on the need for all the residents of the state, to be security conscious at all times as that, would help to curb avoidable security breaches; adding that, security is everybody’s duty, to uphold.
“Let your family know your whereabouts at every given point. Report all suspicious activities within your locality to the appropriate security authorities and government agencies. Taking the laws into your hands has never been an option for conflict resolution, rather you should be open to and embrace peace-building and nonviolent actions”.
He also commended the State Government on it’s efforts towards creating a peaceful environment where businesses and life can thrive.
He however, urged the government to embark on economic policies that will affect the common man on the streets positively while also calling on public office holders as well as good spirited philanthropist in the State, to be magnanimous in distributing palliatives to the poorest of the poor in the society, so that everyone can end the year with smile on their faces.
