[b]Just like my mum would say, the only thing that has no end is that thing that is yet to start and today I understood the meaning of that short quote. God bless you mum for asking God to give you a boy who can play football, play tennis, talk actively in politics, both home and foreign, the serious minded boy and above all, the boy who writes.
When I started this story on the 19th of April and I finished the writing in the 16th of June all thanks to my laziness, I told Emzypaz I would like to share this story on Nairaland and he was like "don't spoil your reputation as one of the writers who always complete their stories."
I went ahead and started posting the story and for the first time in over a year that I started posting on Nairaland, there was no day or minute that I felt discouraged all thanks to the readers.
I will say a quick shoutout to some readers here and please, please and please, if I didn't mention your name, just know that I am human and I can't possibly remember the over 100guys whom I met all thanks to this story.
Kingphilip- A long time Nairaland friend. We go meet one day, abi no be so?
Lilyomi- A very good friend I guess. We met here on this thread, met once again in the whatsapp group created and today, she is one of my very few friends.
Tenajtek- I will personally expose you here. I can no longer keep this secret. She personally sponsored this story by giving me a substantial amount of money(recharge card worth) and I was able to subscribe for two straight months. Thank you very much Ma.
Vibra- I don't know what to say. You are just the best, phone calls, messages, chats, she is just wonderful.
Tecno4life- This guy sabi talk. I pray he won't be beaten one day cos of that. You are just wonderful.

Mariamferanmi- You know na. One of the best, both Nairaland and whatsapp same with Shankies215.
Florjay, Temmyluv20, Tuprety- You guys are just wonderful.
Emmabest2000- A critic who doesn't want favouritism. He wants every character to be treated equally. Bros, I must confess, mesef I love some characters jare.
Kocvalour- At one point I felt like arresting this guy or sending Danger-kelv to him. He criticises me like I am a James Hadley Chase. He would say it point blank, this shouldn't be and I will be like "this one pass my brain o." But all thanks to you, I have become a better writer, don't mind those fim tricks.
Labaski- At some point, she felt like I had forgotten her, but she is still on my mind like one of our very amiable super-moderators, 'mynd.' Thank you ma.
Toykathy- She made me take a decision which till today I am still very grateful for. The decision actually made me understand some things, I was able to rub shoulders with the best writers around here. She made me join the 2014 Nairaland writers collaboration.
I really wanted to mention you all, but hey I am not a computer, but be rest assured that I will go over every page and mention you all before the end of the week.
Codedbaby and MhizEnkay- They both thought my not replying their comments was intentional, but its not really my fault. Too much comments. You guys are wonderful.
Meeting you guys was the best thing that happened to me online in 2014 and even January 2015. Don't forget that while we were together, I won the best writer for the month of september, #5,000 cash prize. I won the regular updater of the month in November and December, recharge card prize, but while we were together, All in a circle was voted as the 3rd best story, crime and Actions in 2014. You no try o. While we were together, I was voted the LITERATURE- person of the year 2014, OBAGO!
So many things happened while we were together and I am glad that I met you all.
Worthy mentions; LarrySun, Divepen, AudreyTimms, Chistar01, TemitopeDaniel, Kingzpen, Flakkydagirl, Dyoungstar and others.
The writers who broke into the scene late in 2014, Thronekid, Touchmeder, Kinwayne, Fembleez1(Nairaland Grammarian), Touchmeder and a few others, please make the year 2015 a great one, I just wanna read all through.
Am I mad? I forgot to mention Fatalveli the bad guy whom I hold in high esteem.
Also, Harjibola10, he is not a reader, but he is someone who mentions d9ty7 a lot. He thinks d9ty7 is a big man who writes, but unknown to him, D9ty7 is just one small boy.
I hope we can do this some other time![/b]

D9ty7:
To everyone complaining about the story and the recent activities that seemed to favour one character and the activities that looked unreal.
Have you ever tried you hands on story writing? Have you ever imagined a scene and put it into writing? Have you ever imagined a scene and drawn a plot from it?
Let me give you an example.
A man returned home one faithful night and stabbed his wife out of anger. How do you turn that into a story? Critical thinking it requires.
-While some people a cool with the latest event, some people sees it as unreal and they termed it 'typical Nigerian film scene.' That alone is an abuse on the Nollywood. You may be against the so called tricks, but the trick alone is creativity, so watch it.
I am not in anyway supporting the use of tricks but the thing is we don't see things the same way.
I don't doubt my imagination, it is what I imagine, what I picture is what I write, I don't ask myself if its possible or not. I think that answered it.
Moreso, I am a proud Nigerian citizen whose stories reflects everything about Nigeria. If you try to copy the writing tecniques employed by J.K Rowlings, James Hadley Chase and others, you'll end up making a fool of yourself.
But if you tried employing tecniques used by Adichie, Achebe and others, you will definitely be on the right line cos its your environment and you have your control over it.
If you watched the series '24' you'll understand what I mean. Its impossible to replicate such in Nigeria, the equipments, the available field experts, funding and others, trying to replicate such in Nigeria will all in all be faulted, the equipment is not there, there are no expert and we don't have the environmen that could allow us do such.
I can't write a book and use America as the setting cos I have never been to America, you understand. I don't know how guns work, I don't know how police officers jump in times of war cos its not my area of specialization. I don't know how possible it is for you to jump from one couch to the other cos I have never tried it before. What I did was just to imagine it happening and I wrote it.
- And also to that person talking about prefrential treatment towards some characters. This perticular book is not a 'Monalisa is missing type of book where you by the decisions you take, you determine the next line of action. Its is not a joint work and it is not a story that is meant to discredit the organisations involved.
How will you feel if Clement was shot in the arm and he was still able to kill every terrorists? Won't you say it is impossible?
I have watched some scenes where the protagonist and the antagonist went into a fight and one had the chance to kill the other, but he would allow the other to go because such fight will still reoccur in the future.
If I had wanted Kelvin dead, I would have done it early into the story, but I allowed it to linger on. If I had wanted Clement to fail, I would have done it a while ago.
Emphasis has been laid on it by Maleek that the police headquarters would be blown, but did they blow it? No. Why? Because it would end up destroying the plots.
Kelvin who now badly wants his brother dead, has had the chance for a very long time, but did he kill Clement? No.
I don't believe there is preference, If I try to write in a way that suit you, other will complain. I write the way I want. Maybe my editor will correct some things if I want to publish this work, I don't know.
All in all, I love the criticism.

This's longer than updates nao ... Smh
