You people keep pestering me for an election retrospective and I have decided to finally do it. I'll start by talking about the election and then discuss my thoughts on the game generally. Due to some issues with the action system we decided to call the election early without actions. This was at the request of many players, and I think it was the right decision. The action system was by far the weakest part of the entire sim, and combined with the bugs, temporarily scrapping it was the right call. I'd like to start by saying nothing about the election particularly surprised me. Salam! is the natural governing party for the center-right and Muslims. GOP is their radical (and wacky) counterpart. Them sweeping the north and winning the most seats makes perfect sense, considering they were the only two parties really competing for the region. The elephant in the room is ABPL. I understand many people feel like they overperformed by winning seats outside of Biafraland. I disagree. ABPL was not projected to win seats outside Biafraland until the last moment when their main competitors neutered themselves by advocating for high taxes (???) and fiscal centralism (???). Yorubaland voters that went ABPL did so because ABPL was promising them devolution, ethnic state lines, and low taxes. However one player suggested a "chauvinism level," indicating how much a party is dedicated to their ethnic or religious identity. For example, NAA and ABPL are both "Igbo parties," but ABPL's identity as a party is based on Igbo separatism (but not separatism I swear) while NAA is a pan-African party. The current model does not capture the difference between these two parties. I intend to implement this for the next election. Some voters will have a preference for chauvinism, others will revile it. You'll see fewer Yoruba voting for strongly Igbo-chauvinist parties. SRP, FRILN, and MOTTAINAI all did slightly better than I predicted. Similarly to ABPL, I think this was a result of their competition neutering themselves, combined with some savvy pivoting on certain issues in response to polling. My main concern for the next election is that the campaign didn't seem particularly fun for anyone. Everyone seems to be having a great time now that the election is over and the National Assembly is open (more on this below) but in the days before the election player engagement was dwindling substantially. In my view, the problems with the campaign system are as follows: 1) It's long. Simple fix, we'll make it shorter next time. 2) There's not much to do for players who aren't a party lead. They could theoretically write more detail actions for the leader, but at a certain point this becomes writing for the sake of it. 3) There's little interparty interaction. There's no real need for alliances, backstabbing, negotiating, etc. Every party is their own little island trying to claw out as many seats as they can. 4) It's very difficult to make the campaign actions impactful but not so impactful that a party that should win ten seats could win fifty via good action play. 5) Actions take a LOT of GM time to review, grade, and send to the engine. I'm not sure how to fix these things. I'm not even sure if I should address these things, or if I should scrap the system entirely. I would like to encourage players to RP the election and so don't want to make the election based solely on the sim, but we might move to a much looser system. This is something that we would appreciate feedback on. That said, the election wasn't all bad. You guys made some very cool art and other content, PDA especially. Seeing people make full party newspapers is a highlight of the game for sure. It was also great to see players come to grips with the limits of electoral politics in real time. Nearly every party was forced to reconsider their platform and revise some policies in response to polling. No, the cassava farmers do not care about Dr. Sun Yat-sen. So I have mixed feelings about the campaign, but I'm very satisfied with the Assembly. To be honest, the night before the election I was slightly blackpilling. I wasn't sure the game would last another week. But I think calling the election saved things. Seeing parties immediately begin negotiating coalitions after the results came in was wonderful. There's so much for every player to do. I think the appointments and committees are great. They give things for non-party leads to do. The Court especially will add lots of interesting player interaction. The committees give non-leads an active voice in policy drafting. These are crucial in maintaining a playerbase larger than a dozen leaders. They also give something parties can negotiate over. I've witnessed countless talks over trading votes for committee chairs. I'm sure the coming Grand Excellency votes will be debated rigorously. These sorts of things are the lifeblood of the game. The economic system is fine. I'd like to do more but with my coding skills and everything else I have to do to keep the game going it's functional. I'm very happy with where the game is right now. There's more I'd like to do and more I will do, but some of it is limited by a small number of GMs and players. I know everyone wants to go to war with Cameroon. I can't really make this happen on my own. We'd also need many, many more players to staff the military and such. I'd love to make a full fledged wargame that impacts elections and see how players negotiate integrating a newly annexed Ambazonia into the Republic, but this is a ways off. The bottom line is that the more people that join the more we can do so uhhhh shill us to your friends. I thank you all very much for playing. I think we have a nice little community going. I hope everyone is having fun. I'm sure there are beautiful things in the future for the Fifth Republic. - Theodore 🍵

That marriage, that kind marriage, Chinese man come take our woman because our country don destroy and we no get nothing to offer, that no be love story. That na transaction.

This same Hua Sharif, this half-and-half, this man wey if you put am for Beijing nobody go look am twice because HE LOOK LIKE DEM, this man dey sit for Lagos Forum. The Lagos Forum! Wey suppose be for NIGERIAN! And when one member say "wait, this no be right," the New Lagosian call am xenophobe! [Uproar] Xenophobe! Fine English word! You know who dey use that word? People wey no get answer to the question! You ask dem "why Naijin dey control our money?" and dem say "xenophobe!" You ask dem "why my nephew no fit get work because he no speak Mandarin?" and dem say "xenophobe!" You ask dem "why sign for our street dey for Chinese?" and dem say "xenophobe!" Na the only word dem know! Na their shield! Anytime you ask question wey dem no fit answer, dem bring out "xenophobe" the way juju man bring out charm! [Cheering, laughter] But charm no dey work for me o! I be Balogun man! The only juju wey work for Balogun na money, and the Naijin get ALL of am! [Laughter, applause] The Naijin Community Council. NCC. Make we discuss. You know wetin the NCC be? Na country inside country. Na China inside Nigeria. Dem get their own council. Dem elect their own leaders. Not for Nigerian election o! Their own separate election! For Naijin only! You, Yoruba man, you no fit vote for NCC. You, Igbo woman, you no fit vote. You, Hausa trader, you no fit vote. Only Naijin. Only dem. Separate. Apart.

But I ask una: today e no enter. Tomorrow nko? Next year nko? When Naijin money grow more and Naijin people grow more and Naijin power grow more, and our own people, our Yoruba youth dem, no fit get work unless dem speak Mandarin, you think say dem no go try again? You think say dem go stop? Dem no go stop! Because dem believe, for the bottom of their heart, say this na their country now. Say dem buy am. Say Lagos na for sale and dem sign the receipt! [Sustained angry chanting] If I go Beijing tell dem make Yoruba be the language of dey country ! [Crowd: Dem go kill you!] Dem go DEPORT me! The same way America deport the pada! And dem go be RIGHT! Because Beijing na CHINESE city! And Lagos na YORUBA city! Or ... wait. Na Yoruba city? Still? Or we don lose am? Because right now, right now as I dey talk, the richest man for Lagos na Naijin. The biggest bank for Lagos get Naijin board. The tallest tower for Lagos na built by Chinese company. The fastest internet for Lagos na Naijin network. And the sign for the street dey for Mandarin. So I ask una again. Na who city be this? [WHO CITY?! / NA OUR CITY! / YORUBA!] Na who city?! [NA OUR OWN!] Then why we no fit read the sign?! [Eruption] Okay. Okay. Make una hear. I get something personal to share. I no been plan to talk this one. But I dey here and my people dey here and I think say una need to know how this thing dey touch ordinary family. Not policy. Not economics. Family. [Crowd quiets] My nephew. Taiwo. Small boy. Just turn eighteen. Good head. Hardworking. Him mama na my sister, she dey sell provision for Mushin. No husband. The man die for the strikes, 2045, factory accident, dem no pay compensation because the factory don automate and the machine no get union, but that one na different gist. Taiwo finish school. Good marks. Not best, but good enough. He want work. Him mama no fit send am university. So the boy, he iron him shirt, one shirt, one good shirt, the one wey him mama keep for special, and he go find work. Apply seven place. [Crowd very quiet] Four of those seven, when the boy sit down for interview. MANDARIN. [Angry murmuring] No be say dem advertise for Mandarin o! Dem write English for the advert! But the manager na Naijin and the secretary na Naijin and the other candidate dem na Naijin and the talk just dey change. Like water wey dey find him own level. Just dey go Mandarin. Small small. Until my nephew, this boy, this Yoruba boy from Mushin wey iron him one shirt that morning, he just dey sit there. [Silence] He just dey sit. For him own city. For him own country. He no understand one word. [Someone in crowd is audibly crying] The boy come house. Him eye red. He tell him mama. Him mama tell me. And I look this boy, this fine Yoruba boy, eighteen years, sharp, ready for work, ready for life, and he look me for eye and he say- [Fashola's voice breaks] He say, "Uncle, maybe I suppose learn Mandarin." [Gasps, then absolute silence] ... [Long pause, approximately fifteen seconds.] That night I no sleep. My people, I no sleep. I lie for bed and I hear that boy voice for my head. "Maybe I suppose learn Mandarin." And I see him face. And I see my papa face. My papa wey sell cloth for this market for forty years. My papa wey speak Yoruba like music. My papa wey tell me, small boy, "Adegoke, Yoruba na the language of your soul, no let anybody take am from you." And now, one generation later, him grandson grandson nephew dey tell me say maybe he suppose learn the language of the people wey take him country. [Silence] I cry that night. I no shame to tell una. I be old man. I be tough man. Market life make you hard. But I cry that night because I understand something. I understand say if we no act now, if we no take this thing serious, if we let the pada and the Naijin and the Forum and the NCC and the whole rotten establishment continue the way dem dey go, then my papa language go die. Our language go die. And we go die with am. Not for body. For soul. For the thing wey make us Yoruba. For the thing wey make us who we be. That one go die. And our children go bury am and dem no go even know wetin dem don lose because nobody go remember the word to describe am. [Many in crowd audibly weeping] SO! [Crowd startles] Make I tell una wetin we go DO. Because Fashola no be man wey cry and go sleep. Fashola cry, then Fashola WORK. [Cheering through tears] NUMBER ONE! Language protection! For the new constitution! English, Yoruba, Igbo. Na ONLY language wey fit dey for public sign, government paper, court, school. Mandarin no dey. Vietnamese no dey. Chinese no dey. If you want speak Mandarin, speak am for your house, speak am for your bed, speak am for your pillow. But for our street? Our language. OUR OWN. [Sustained applause] NUMBER TWO! NCC don die! Today! Not review! Not committee! Not "stakeholder consultation" wey go take five years and produce five hundred page wey nobody read! TODAY! If you be Nigerian, join Nigerian government like Nigerian. If you need separate council because you dey too precious to mix with the rest of us, then my brother, maybe this no be your country. Maybe your country dey across the ocean. Maybe make you go there. And if you no go by yourself- [Crowd: WE GO HELP YOU GO!] [Extended cheering, stamping, chanting] NUMBER THREE! [THREE!] Every company with foreign money connection must open book! I want see Hua Sharif account! I want see every naira wey enter from Shanghai! I want see every contract wey go to Naijin firm when Yoruba firm apply for the same work and no get am! OPEN THE BOOK! And if dem refuse, if dem say "na private business," then we go know. We go know say the money dirty. We go know say the connection dey. And we go REMEMBER for election day. [Applause] NUMBER FOUR! [FOUR!] No more sending our children to China to come back as stranger wey dey look us like animal for zoo. Twenty-five years don do! Nigerian children go NIGERIAN university. And if the university no good, we no go cry, we no go beg China, we go FIX AM. With our own hand. Like we fix everything else for this country since beginning. [Sustained cheering] NUMBER FIVE! [FIVE!] And this one, this one na the one wey go make headline. This one na the one wey the New Lagosian go use call me mad. [Quiet laughter] I want inquiry. Under oath. Into the relationship between the Naijin Community Council and the government of the People's Republic of China. [Explosion of noise] I DEY SERIOUS! Una think Beijing spend thirty years dey invest for this country, build railway, build factory, send engineer, send manager, send spy, YES, SPY, everybody know, everybody whisper, nobody SHOUT, well I DEY SHOUT, and then Beijing just forget about community of people with Chinese blood wey dey control the financial system of Lagos? Beijing no forget ANYTHING! Beijing no do CHARITY! Every yuan wey enter this country get string attach, and some of those string lead straight to the NCC building for New Makoko and EVERYBODY KNOW THIS! [Shouting, clapping, chanting] I no say every Naijin na spy. Some na just people wey dey try live. But I say this: the NCC na not ordinary community council. The NCC na operation. And the new parliament, the PEOPLE parliament, must investigate. Must subpoena. Must put dem under oath. Make Hua Sharif come explain him connection dem. Make NCC chairman come explain who dey fund dem. Make dem explain am for public, under camera, where the whole country fit see. And if the explanation good, fine. We go accept. But if the explanation no good, and my people, I no think say e go good, then we go know who the Naijin really serve. And e no be Nigeria. [Sustained chanting: "INQUIRY! INQUIRY! INQUIRY!"] My people! [FASHOLA!] I nearly done! Sun dey hot! I know! I don talk long! I know! But I beg una, hear the last thing. [Quiet] I tire. I tire for twenty-six years. I tire when Khalil put pada for every office and we no fit talk. I tire when the Chinese come build tower wey we no fit enter. I tire when my nephew sit for interview like ghost for him own city. I tire when I walk for Akin Adesola Street and no see one word of my father language. I tire. All of us tire. But you know wetin? E don reach. The tiredness don finish. Because something dey happen wey never happen before for this country. Democracy dey come. Election dey come. For the FIRST TIME, you, market woman, and you, taxi driver, and you, mechanic, and you, provision seller, and you, mai guard wey dey stand for sun all day — for the first time, UNA voice go matter. Una go get VOTE. And vote na power. And power na the ONLY thing wey the pada and the Naijin understand. Money and power. Money we no get. But power? Power dey inside that ballot box. And for the first time for twenty-six years, the ballot box dey OPEN. [Massive cheering] My papa, God rest am, he be Yoruba man. Everything he know, he know am for Yoruba. And he tell me one thing when I small wey I no forget and I no GO forget and I go tell MY children and dem go tell their own: Ilé la ti ń kọ ẹṣọ́ r'òde. Before you go world, first sweep your own house. First clean your own floor. First know where you dey before you go where you dey go. Our house dirty, my people. I no go lie to una. Our house DIRTY. Stranger dey for parlor dey sit for our chair. Dem dey chop our food. Dem dey spend our money. Dem dey speak language wey we no hear. And dem dey LAUGH. Dem dey laugh at us because we LET dem. Because for twenty-six years nobody ask dem to leave. Nobody ask dem to even TRANSLATE THE SIGN. [Building roar] But that don finish. Today. For this market. For Balogun. That don finish. E don reach to sweep. [Voice cracking] E DON REACH! [ERUPTION. Chanting of "SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!" begins immediately and sustains for approximately four minutes. Multiple crowd members perform sweeping motions with their arms, a gesture that spreads rapidly through the crowd. Fashola remains on platform for approximately thirty seconds with his right fist raised, then descends. He is mobbed by supporters. Several vendors abandon their stalls to join the crowd. The chanting continues intermittently for over an hour after Fashola's departure. At least two confrontations between crowd members and Naijin-owned businesses on the market perimeter are reported by witnesses but could not be independently verified by Oduduwa Press staff. Lagos Metropolitan Police were not called.] EDITOR'S NOTE: The Oduduwa Press publishes this transcript in the public interest. We note that at the time of publication, neither the Naijin Community Council nor the Lagos Forum has responded to Mr. Fashola's remarks. Persons wishing to submit responses may do so through the usual channels. The Oduduwa Press remains committed to giving voice to the people of Western Nigeria.
