National Association of Air Lords

The national association of airlords aka the supreme eiye confraternity is a fraternity based in Nigeria it was founded in 1965 by three students at the University of Ibadan these three are called the Aro meta.The purpose of the confraternity was to stop the opression and injustice of the then colonial masters and to bring about brotherhood based on African culture and history.

1969, Under the Araba Tree

In 1969 when the “Aro meta” gathered under the Araba Tree, The Eiye Group metamorphosized into the Eiye Confraternity. The proposal was mentioned about developing a standard for the Supreme Eiye Confraternity which would be used during the ceremonial processions!! A lot of intellectual issues were discussed and meanings were given to represent what would most represent the eternal lore and aspirations. It was agreed on the 15th of June 1969 that the eternal standard of the S.E.C would include an “Eiye Akalamagbo” a mystical and mythical bird which was already a fraternal representation of our ideals. The “Akalamagbo” is better known in English as a “Phoenix”. This was to be commissioned carrying a skull in its deadly talons. The claw was to be within the eye-sockets of the skull. What does this mean? Akalamagbo The Phoenix according to the intellectually gifted “Aro Meta” was a representation that the Supreme Eiye Confraternity would live forever and that every time it appeared like it was going to meet its demise it would rise out of the ashes of its own flames with a rejuvenated life as with the mythical Phoenix. This was also representative of the fact that the SEC was to be an evolving confraternity that would move with time and redefine its scope and boundaries. At this point the Supreme Eiye Confraternity had just the “Aro meta” as founding members. This was where the foundational strength of the confraternity was laid!! The human skull is representative of the mortality of man. This meant that the members of the Supreme Eiye confraternity were encouraged to confront the fact that one day they would go back to their creator and that we had a duty to live behind a legacy that would be noteworthy of recognition to the world at large. This foundational tenet is still present in the “Creed and aspirations of the SEC”. The claw that was strategically placed in the eye socket of the skull meant that death {when the light leaves the human eye} could not end the life of the Airlords as members would live forever by virtue of their legacy on earth.

The ultimate meaning of the combined Bird and Skull standard will be for the initiates to know and you the contemplator to ponder!!

Diversity There have been various re-productions of this standard in various abodes of the Supreme Eiye Confraternity to represent the diversity within SEC; however they all have a singular significance “Eiye lives forever even in the face of death”.. Ata

Double Headed Phoenix The most recent standard of the SEC is the double headed Phoenix with a sword of truth and freedom in its talons {below}.
