Maybe I have been reading from many critics, but these US critics has facts in their writings. I read that there was a sign like an information dissemination about 911 before it happened, and other bombing incidents of which I am not interested in boring you with right now. I was playing with my new Infinix Alpha andriod phone, and discover this interesting trailer on youtube which I believe is a message to Nigerians. Not Nigeria, but
Nigerians.
It is a trailer of a popular series game; the famous Call of Duty (COD), the name of this episode is called "Advance Warfare" aka "Power Changes Everything" .
How does a game play connects to Nigeria?
Hahaha! Lagos is where the game depicts the warfare will be happening, though I have a contrary view. I have attached a link of the Video in here. Another interesting part is the speech of a character in the game; I will try to highlight some of the words, but watching the trailer and listening will give you and insight of what is currently happening in the country Nigeria and what could happen in the near future.
1. Pause the video between 0:35 -0:38. At 0:38 you will see clearly an electronic display board under the bridge with inscription "keep Lagos clean". you will also see a Nigerian flag by the top right corner of your screen.
2. Pause it again at 1:10. You will see two small billboards with one of them displaying "speed limit enforced by drone aircraft" and "keep Lagos clean".
I have attached both images here. If you can download the video, it will be awesome watching it in slow motion.
The character's speech:
Democracy, democracy... democracy is not what these people need, hell is not even what they want. America has been trying to install democracy as a nation for a century and it hasn't worked one time. These countries don't have the most basic building blocks to support a democracy. Little things like we ought to be tolerant of those who disagree with us, we ought to be tolerant of those who worship a different God than us, that the journalists ought to be able to disagree with the president... and you think that you can just march-in this country based on some fundamentalist, religious principles, drop a few bombs, topple addicted and start democracy.... ha! ...give me a break... these people don't want freedom, they want boundaries, rules, protection, from invaders and from themselves. These people need a leader the will give them both the support and the constraints to keep kiosk a-bay. You give them that and they'll follow... and that's where i come in.
Now let me know what you think... Is it a fiction or a planned game?
