The world teetered on the edge. Every corridor of power, every intelligence agency, every capital from Washington to Berlin had one name dominating their closed-door meetings: Michael Ogunlade.
The Director of the Imperial Intelligence Service of Nigeria.
The shadow that had become a sovereign.
And now, the West prepared its final move.
They had failed to break him with sanctions. Failed to assassinate him. Failed to splinter his African dominion. With every attack, he only grew stronger, more ruthless, more revered. But now, they would bring their last weapon to bear — full-spectrum destabilization. Economic, cyber, and covert kinetic warfare on an unprecedented scale.

Langley – The Last Directive
The CIA's black conference room was filled with grim faces. Directors, liaisons, NATO advisors.
"We have to do it. He's isolated us from Africa, turned allies into enemies, and has resources flowing through his fingers like God's own hand," said the CIA deputy director.
The directive was clear: Operation Eclipse — neutralize Michael Ogunlade and dismantle the Nigerian Empire.
Task forces were embedded. European assets were activated. African proxies were bribed. The mission was simple: collapse Nigeria from within.
But Michael was already ahead of them.

Abuja – The Counter-Conspiracy
The IIS war room was a hive of encrypted chatter and satellite feeds. Michael stood before his senior operatives, each one handpicked over years of absolute loyalty.
"They're coming," he said. "Every last one of them. From your old handlers in London to your trainers in Tel Aviv. They think Nigeria will crumble if they pull enough strings. We'll burn the strings. And their hands with it."
Phase I: The Cleansing
Within days, suspected CIA, MI6, and Mossad assets within Nigeria's borders began disappearing.
Some were found dismembered in rivers.
Others were exposed on live television confessing to treason before being executed.
Then came the shockwave: Michael released a massive dump of intelligence files on Western covert activities in Africa — every bribe, every coup, every assassination attempt the West had orchestrated in the last 40 years.
It wasn't just revenge. It was exposure. The West lost its moral high ground overnight.

The War No One Saw
Then the real battle began — invisible, quiet, global.
Western banks suffered record data breaches.
European intelligence servers crashed.
American satellites experienced technical "failures."
Nigeria's cyber forces, backed by Chinese infrastructure and Russian counter-warfare doctrine, struck hard and fast. Whole telecom infrastructures in Europe were disabled for days. The U.S. East Coast financial district went dark for 72 hours. Panic spread. The dollar tumbled.
And in Africa, Michael launched a wave of "peacekeeping" campaigns in neighboring countries — thinly veiled annexations with full military and intelligence support.

The Final Play – The New World Deal
At the United Nations, Michael's appointed foreign minister — his old mentor — presented a manifesto:
The Abuja Accord:
A new global trade order for Africa — no dealings with Western institutions, no IMF, no World Bank, and most critically — all African resource exports must be routed through Nigeria.
Dozens of African nations, now puppets of the IIS, signed on within days.
The West was cornered.
In desperation, NATO debated a military response.
But Michael had a final card.

The Broadcast
A livestream appeared unannounced across the world.
Michael, in a dark suit, standing before the Nigerian flag.
> "To the people of the West… your leaders have robbed you. For decades, they sucked Africa dry, enslaved her with debt, and laughed in our faces. Now, Nigeria rises — not to beg, not to partner — but to rule. If you send your armies, we will drown them in the Sahel. If you send your spies, we will hang them at the border. You are not untouchable. We are no longer your shadow. We are the fire that will consume your empire."
The screen faded to the IIS emblem: a black eagle holding the world in its talons.

Washington, London, Paris – Silence
There would be no military intervention. Not after the Pentagon confirmed that Nigerian nukes, courtesy of rogue Pakistani scientists, were now active.
Not after Russia and China issued a joint statement recognizing Nigeria as "a stabilizing hegemon in the African continent."
Not after entire African markets closed their ports to Western ships.
The West had lost.

Abuja – The Throne Ascendant
Michael stood alone on a tower overlooking the city. Lagos was quiet. Abuja, fortified.
He had won.
Africa was his.
The West had been broken, its teeth shattered on the steel wall of Nigerian might.
His enemies dead.
His allies obedient.
His empire unmatched.
Michael Ogunlade — Director of the Imperial Intelligence Service, Lord of Africa, and the Devil of the New World Order — had delivered the final reckoning.
And now, there was only one thing left.
To rule.
