PRESS RELEASE: TAX REFORM FACES LEGITIMACY TEST OVER SECRECY, ALLEGED ALTERATIONS

Claims that provisions were altered, inserted, or removed after legislative passage strike at the heart of constitutional governance, legislative supremacy, and the rule of law. If left unresolved, these allegations risk rendering the reforms both legally and morally defective.

This event served as the sequel to the earlier check presentation, where donor contributions were formally provided to support the Greenbelt Police Departmentโ€™s annual Shop-with-a-Cop initiative. Following the shopping experience, NAS Pentagun Deck volunteers joined Greenbelt Police officers and other community partners in a dedicated gift-wrapping session to prepare the purchased items for distribution to participating children.

The collaborative effort underscored the full lifecycle of community givingโ€”from donation, to shopping, to final deliveryโ€”ensuring that no child is left behind during the holiday season.

A highlight of the event was a meeting with the Mayor of the city of Greenbelt, Mayor Emmett Jordan, who commended NAS Pentagun Deck for its sustained support and hands-on involvement beyond financial contributions. The Mayor also engaged NAS Pentagun Deck leadership in discussions exploring additional areas of collaboration between the organization and the City of Greenbelt in support of future community-focused initiatives.

โ€œOperation Christmas Cheer is about accountability, presence, and impact,โ€ said a representative of NAS Pentagun Deck. โ€œWe believe in seeing our support throughโ€”from the check presentation to the moment gifts are ready for the children.โ€

NAS Pentagun Deck expresses sincere appreciation to the Greenbelt Police Department, city leadership, volunteers, and donors whose collective efforts continue to bring hope and holiday cheer to families across the community.

"โ€ฆWherever the community in which we exist needs a hand, in whatever cause, the PYRATE must be FIRST.โ€

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.

Building Bridges and Spreading Holiday Cheer! ๐ŸŽ„

The National Association of Seadogs - Pyrates Confraternity Pentagun Deck (Maryland, USA) is thrilled to continue its support for the Greenbelt community for the third year with our donation to the Greenbelt Police Department's Annual Shop With-A-Cop programme.

This amazing initiative pairs officers with local children for holiday shopping, fostering a spirit of partnership and providing gifts for families in need. It's a fantastic way to build strong, positive police-community relations and the Seadogs of the Pyrates Confraternity are excited to be partnering with our friends at the Greenbelt Police Department and Fire Department.

We look forward to wrapping and distributing the gifts to the kids alongside the Greenbelt Police Department and Greenbelt Fire Service on December 20, 2025!
