We Were Colonized. Again! A Letter From Year 2589 by MrsExplorer(f): 11:47am On Jul 29, 2016 |
Log 204, Head of Operation Nero Alpha 6 code Zero Nigeria 25/04/2589. If you are reading this, Then it means the mission failed. This is ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. We were at a point when everything was in chaos. Our lives revolved round death, oil bunkering, pipe vandalization and massive government corruption. Our fathers refused to fight, our mothers protected their children and the damage continued. Revolution was secretly discussed and then there was a rumor of a military coup many wish really happened, but nobody was bold enough. The damage flowed, our only hope was HOPE, a hope that somehow the future would be better. A hope we never got. Artistes drew oil paints of these corrupt leaders, musicians sang songs to praise them, religious bodies gave them awards and allowed them to kneel infront of their gods and make sacrifices with our stolen money. Our children wanted to be like them. The country began to divide. Strange movements and associations started to rise in the middle of these chaos, some of which included MASSOB, THE AVENGERS and prominent among them was the NCA(Name Checkers Association) An asscociation known for its violent ethnic wars. The media houses didn't help, they were part of the conspiration. Hiding cases of money laundering, misinforming us on issues of budget padding and discouraging our people from a revolution, howbeit a peaceful one. The bourgeoisies sent their wards abroad, our teens became experts in cyber crime and drug trafficking. Its either you are getting rich or you are dieing. No one cared. The damage seem beyond repair. We became lost in the hope of well designed manifestoes and promises, only to be decieved over and over again. Our hope was our strongest strength, but our hope was what killed us. It was around this time they arrived at our shores. 12 of them. They called themselves the Green men, for they were green. No one knew where they came from, not even the Americans nor the Russians nor even the Chinese or so we thought. These were new beings, never heard of, never seen before, no talk of them in history but they came to us, 12 men with strange technologies and strange phones and strange cars and viagra and virginty pills. Among all the places they could have gone to on earth, they came to us, WHY? As expected our politicians loved these green men. They welcomed them and we know now it was for their selfish interests. The citizens were first sceptical, economic activities came to a halt, sellers refused to sell, buyers refused to buy(not like there was anything to buy though) and the streets and areas around the national assembly were filled with people and youths holding placards, screaming, singing and shouting, something we are always so good at. Only one statement rang in this songs, WHO ARE THESE GREEN MEN. We needed to know, we had to know. The question was simple but it was not an easy answer. In all these, we had hope. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

log 205 Head of operation Nero Alpha 6 Code Zero Nigeria 26/04/2589. If you are reading this then it means the mission failed. This is all you need to know The protests didn't last long, we stopped asking questions. The green men had charmed us. They requested to be given top positions in various sectors of the economy in exchange for increased development. We gave them. Under one month and for the first time in Nigeria, we had 24 hour power supply for a good one week. Export grew to an unprecedented rate. Our foreign reserves increased. the economy became diversified. Women sang praises of these green men, ladies begged to take selfies with them, men had jobs, everyone was in euphoria.It was a dream come through, finally our hopes had paid of. The various militant groups became less active, even NCA(Name checkers Association) became an association for the promotion of ethnic peace and religious emancipation. We became the envy of neighbouring nations, Ghana requested for these green men, Angola sent delegates, South-Africans finally admitted that Nigeria is truly the giant of Africa. However despite all these, the green men wanted nothing to do with any other parts of the world, they said they came for only Nigeria. This was a red flag, why stay in only Nigeria when you can offer your wonderful technology to the rest part of the world? No one thought like this in those days, we were blinded by the massive amount of development we had in such a short span. Everyone stopped asking the most important question 'why come to Nigeria?' 'why only Nigeria?' At the state we were before the arrival of these green men, we would have accepted any help from the devil himself. These men were not demons, but what was their agenda? No one asked. Our hope had finally paid off but it was that hope that killed us. It was around this period that our grand commander, General Nero(RIP) rose from the euphoria and began to search for answers. He wasn't blinded, he knew something would go wrong. Who are this people? Where did they come from? What was their agenda? why were they here? Why only Nigeria? When would they leave? 6 questions that demanded answers. General Nero then started a group with some concerned Nigerians, They called themselves ALPHA 6. Their mission was simple, "To find the answers to these six questions" Little did they know that their lives and that of their family was at stake but worst of all, Nigeria was about to fall into the deep pit of another colonial era, an era our forefathers had saved us from since 1960. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Scrambled Message We've come under heavy attack. Our station at Lagos have just being levelled to the ground by something we have not seen before. Most of our loyal men are dead and many more fighting for their lives. Please if you are out there reading this. save the future of Nigeria. This green men would come and when they do, reject them. I am currently writing this log on the run and i'm afraid this might be my last. I fear for my life, save us!!! log 206 Head of operation Nero Alpha 6 code Zero 30/04/2589 Soon our government gave these green men everything they needed. We even gave them seats in our parliaments, they became our judges, making our laws and implementing them. We were so blinded that we didnt see them for who they were. Its was just like that time when our forefathers sold out slaves in exchange for mirrors and tissue papers. This time, we sold out our soul, our future, our essence. But one man was different. Mr Nero with his organisation started to investigate these men. First we discovered that these men are a joint exploitation project by the American and Chinese government. Unknown to the world, the key to time travelling have been discovered in Nigeria and that is what they wanted. Efforts to warn the Nigerian government proved abortive. These green men have taken over our country, there children are directing our state of affairs and we now live like slaves in our own country. The technology is there, everything we need are available but our country is no longer ours. Our backs are bent like withered trunks, our feet soiled in the spits of regret we spat on the floor and for the second time in the history of our beloved nation, we seek to be free. However, we at OPERATION NERO decided not to give up on our own country, We used their technology to build ours, we located the last missing piece in the time travel machine and with the help of Professor Adelabu, Dr Nnamdi and Engr. we were able to build a self sufficient time machine. I am part of the team responisble for recruiting the men who would travel back in time to save Nigeria. But these green men are on our trail seeking us out and destroying our family. We sent our first ever time travel mission,, his code name was M.K.O Abiola His mission was simple: Become a leader and save the country He was due to report back but we are yet to hear from him. We sent another mission.., code named Musa Yar'dua I think he failed again as we did not hear from him. We sent the third, he was GEJ But he was a dullard and got corrupted. We have depleted our resources, the time travel machine have been seized by these green men and we are being hunted down. We are all that is left. The future NIgeria is dying, our people are being enslaved. I sent this log as last resort, if you are reading this, if you are out there, it means that our missions have failed and the future of Nigeria is at stake. ONLY YOU CAN SAVE US NOW!!! PLEASE DO. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Hmmm...You were political there, GEJ dumbasss? Anyway, why did they choose Nigeria? is it just because there was a time portal? Or the over population? How did they infiltrate so easily? Where the Nigerians so desperate that they couldnt even suffer a culture shock? I mean, what situation can make one easily look over a being with Green pigmentation? Unless they use some kinda mind numbing pulsers to puckerize the minds of the nigerians... |
