Oil Pirates, Nigeria

• Pirates believed that wearing pierced earrings would improve their eyesight.
• Pirates believed that having women on board their ship was bad luck. They also believed that whistling on a ship would cause the weather to turn stormy (as in ‘to whistle up a storm’).
• Pirates would take over island ports and make them a safe haven for pirates.
• Almost all pirates stole their ships because they couldn’t buy ships incase they got caught and sent to jail. Once they had taken over a ship they had to convert it for pirate life, this usually meant making more room for sailors to live on board and strengthening the decks to hold the weight of the heavy cannons.
