In its own words, NBM is today a “registered non-partisan, non-religious and non-tribal organization that sincerely seek to revive, retain and modify where necessary those aspects of African culture that would provide vehicles of progress for Africa and her peoples.” However, this contradicts all other sources that can be found about NBM and its actual activities. Over time it was hoped that the outside campus activities would become the main focus of the organization.” Outside the campus it would be involved in the defense and protection of the black man. On campus it would keep the Pyrates in check. Our organization would therefore serve a two-pronged purpose. In the words of Nicholas Idemudia, the founders “wanted an organization that would be as militant and action-oriented as the Black Panthers. During this meeting the aim of the confraternity was discussed and, taking the Black Panthers as a point of reference, it was decided that blackism should be the ideology of the confraternity. The originally proposed name, “Brotherhood of the Baraccans”, was dropped in the founding meeting in favor of the name “Black Axe Movement”, which was later changed to “Neo Black Movement of Africa”. One of the initial goals was to set up a new campus magazine. The founders of NBM, under the lead of Nicholas Idemudia aka Ibn Godidi the Saddest, consisted of students without previous affiliation, members of the Palmwine Drinkards Club and even members of the Pyrates. The confraternity was founded in the 1977/78 session at the University of Benin mainly as a reaction to perceived excesses by the Pyrates confraternity. The group is involved in every crime under the sun and is anti-democratic to the core ( ) The group is sometimes also referred to as A(i)ye confraternity. However, NBM deny this and any campus activity in public. NBM is identical with the “Black Axe” campus cult. It was founded at the University of Benin (in the confraternity’s terminology the “Futa Jallon Temple”) in 1977. The ”Neo Black Movement of Africa” (NBM) is a Nigerian confraternity, also known as secret cult.
