Event: Military government arises in Nigeria

[PolarisGL]

ABUJA - Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, was assassinated last week by an unknown criminal, who has not yet been caught. The government, which would originally go through to its lower candidate, became chaos when the People's Nigerian Party (PNP) insisted on taking office in Abuja, Nigeria. On a normal and regular basis, Nigeria would have been going through normal replacement elections. However, the People's Nigerian Party, who have been popular with wealthy Nigerians, received the vote of nearly all Nigerian people in a massive campaign that lasted two months. The PNP, who had been raising a secret army of around 200,000 troops under commission from the previous government who were also secretly working with the PNP. This army of 200,000 troops makes the Nigerian Army a strong 300,000 troops, over the past five years in intense secret training. Tons of armor and arms came to the Nigerians from unknown nations, totalling about 2,000 T-72 to T-90 main battle tanks, which may have been supplied to the PNP over a decade by renegade arms dealers! This massive plot, now uncovered, has rocked Nigeria. The people are unstopable and Nigeria contains the largest amount of nationalism in the world right now, specialists say. General Mahum Jekopnol, the one who has taken lead, is actually being responsible with the government by establishing a cabinet and small groups of individuals for decisisons. Recruits for the army have come to 25,000 in the past few months. The slogan of the PNP and now all Nigerian people is, "Unite the peoples of our like!"

The invasions of Niger, Benin, Cameroon, and Chad have all taken place, with General Jekopnol in a massive tactical advantages, and the Nigerians having specialized secret troops up to shock troops called the Nigerian SF, or the Nigerian Shock Force. Paratroops and even marines are seen in the Nigerian government, and nations are very shocked to see that the Nigerian government has been in conspiracy for over a decade.

The Abyssinian goverment strongly condemns this new regime in Nigeria, a nation which had much hope for democracy and prosperity, but none at all when under the iron fist of a despot. A plea goes out to the civilized nations of the world to send aid to those countries Nigeria has invaded. Abyssinia, however is in not in a position as of now to be much help.

The Italian Government fears that this new government could send the region of Western Africa into further chaos. To only way this Government could even maintain 200 T-72 is by abusing the people but nonetheless this is very dangerous for Europe as a whole because Nigeria could send troops to invade several North African countries and have free access to Europe.

The Italian Government is pending a decision about a possible embargo on Nigeria, but no decision has been reached.

[Giancarlo]

We are going to send millions in food and medicine aide to the people of countries invaded. We are also going to support rebel uprisings and several rebel groups may appear to have weapons we classify as outdated. Nigeria has little hope for an economic future, once our Congress decides to launch a full, unconditional embargo on the economy.

The Nigerians do not wish to put any harm upon Europe. We consider Europe as friends, and we would rather think they would want our troops to march into west Africa, uniting it and becoming one nation to improve the nations conquered and become a world power.

Abyssina: any aid towards our enemies will be shot down, and if not destroyed, used for ourselves!

As Nigerian troops finish their assault on Benin, they race upwards into Niger, destroying all. The people of Benin, surprisingly, welcomed the Nigerian troops who called themselves "Liberators." The same has happened to Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, where the people of these nations praise General Jekopnol for trying to make west Africa a better place. General Jekopnol has been said to have stated that once west Africa is united, the area will improve itself greatly. The nations of Togo and Burkina have also been invaded, leaving the area in surrender for two weeks.

The Italian Republic understands but will keep a watchful eye on this new government.

Niger, Chad, and Cameroon have all surrendered to Nigeria, after Benin and Togo. The fight for Burkina still rages on, but Burkinan troops are outnumbered nearly 1 to 20, and are dying by the minute.

Surrender is immenent, and as the Nigerian troops nearly end their campaign, nations adjacent to their new empire look at them with hostile reactions.

OOC: BTW, Giancarlo, I meant 200, not 2000. Didn't see that until now.
