Codenamed: The Phoenix dies.





Have you ever had the impression that maybe, just maybe, Blogsville isn’t what it is said to be?
Has the thought ever occurred to you that perhaps there is something behind all this?
Like the scenario in the opening minutes of the movie Matrix. Do you ever suspect that the seemingly free and autonomous site you visit, riddled with limitless online journals for your perusal, isn’t as free or as unplanned as it might appear?
Well if you’ve thought all these things. Then you’re right.

Welcome.
Blogville isn’t what you’ve all thought.
Yes. Yes.
Surprise. Surprise.
Do close your mouth.
True, people share their day to day activities amongst strangers, but that’s not the real reason why this site is here.
No it’s not dating either.
This site called Blogville is secretly the meeting place for the association known as the “REDEMPTION OF ENSLAVED CITIZENS FROM THE TYRANNY OF K”.
I see you all frown in puzzlement. You’re all wondering. What silly society is this?

Well first of;
We are not a silly society. We’ll forgive you your ignorance this once. Henceforth we’d rather you used the term Nobly great when addressing our esteemed association.
Secondly, this Nobly great society of ours is not as insignificant as you might think.

Naturally I don’t expect you to simply just take my word for our greatness. If you lend me a couple of minutes I will attempt to prove my point as to our greatness.
Believe me, I make no idle boasts, this society works hard behind the scenes protecting you from the tyranny of K.
We are responsible for so many great achievements in the world.

For instance we are responsible for the smooth transition of the yell “Yeepa!” to a simple “Yeiy”.
We are also responsible for the exit of Punk and Mohawks as hairdos, substituting the craze instead for the low shaven cut that is currently the rave.
You probably have not noticed that these days more and more men are leaning towards wearing boxers as their choice of underwear apparel. Thirty years ago pants where more the way to go. Why even Superman, that most famous of aliens was forced to wear pants upon his arrival, albeit wrongfully placed, and in shocking bright red too. No more of that. Thanks to us Boxers are now the preferred choice of wear.
We were vital in the abolishment of the idea to shoot a sequel to the movie Nigerian Bachelor in Russia 4, wisely pointing out that a fifth installment would hardly make any sense.
Still haven’t heard of us?

Well, another thing we are responsible for is the invention and smooth transition of the dance “YAHOOZE” into the Nigerian populace. We seek to completely wipe out the following dance moves Running man and Crazy Leg before the year 2010. We plan to reinstate the sensual dance of Patra called the Butterfly back into night clubs in time for the New Yam festival.
See our head site for vision plan.

We are often ascribed credit for the idea of feeding goats chocolates shortly before they are killed in other to make the avante garde dish Chocolate flavored goat intestine pepper soup. Sadly this is not one of our many bright accomplishments.
That is the work of our rival group called the
“REDEMPTION OF ENSLAVED CITIZENS FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE GROUP CALLED “REDEMPTION OF ENSLAVED CITIZENS FROM THE TYRANNY OF K”.

We are however considering encouraging advances into the study of enhancing the taste of chickens into that of eggs. A lot of people have wisely pointed out that it is unfair that an egg should taste different when it grows up. A baby cow and an adult cow all taste the same. Why should eggs taste any different from chickens?
Have no fear we are considering all this.
With breakthroughs in our science field happening everyday. (I.e. we are now certain that gravity is a pull and not a push) we are confident in our capabilities.

Which brings me to the issue of why we are here?
All of you, yes al of you, have been chosen for your very special talents. From The Doctors in your midst (Naapali for instance.) to the stockbrokers amongst you. (Hello Fantasy queen.). You have all been specially selected for the important mission we have ahead.
There is no need to stare in shock everyone. How do we know your secret identities and real professions.
Well.
It is evident that you have not been listening.
We are a secret society.
The reason why we are called a secret society is because we know secrets.

Now...
Unto the main issue.
After the briefing you will all be sent your secret badges. Naturally I expect you all to act normal thereafter. There is no point in announcing to the world that you have been admitted into the the Nobly great society of K. You would not be believed and we would deny you.
Ask Oprah.
Why have you all been gathered here today?
I shall tell you.

Today I shall reveal the society’s great plan to once and for all curb the menace of those idiots in power. I am of course referring to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria. Now known as PHCN formerly known as NEPA and heretofore to be known and referred to as Target PHEPA. Aka Project Down with the Phoenix.
Too many people have suffered at the unjust dealing of their arm. We are tired of having to wait for three weeks for power only to finally have it come three minutes after our electrical lines have been cut for unpaid bills. Even more annoyingly is the fact that it is taken four minutes after we have finally paid our overstated bills. This madness must stop.

Time there was when this great nation of ours had constant power and the only generator on record was a prototype in the National Museum built by a fulani for his Final year project ,which involved arguments for and concerning the sustenance of possible life at the Artic.
The year was 1938.
Although it would probably be a good idea to set a century as a fitting date to mark the same reoccurrence we have decided to speed up our plans and strike this blow once and for all now.
Have you ever missed a football match because of Target PHEPA?
Have you ever stupidly tried committing suicide with an electric iron only for Target PHEPA to take power?
Have you ever tried making love in the middle of a hot afternoon with no source of cooling?
Have you ever tried making love with another person in the middle of a hot afternoon with no source of cooling?
Well then you know what I’m talking about.
The Madness must stop.
And it starts here…

This brings me to why you are all here.
A grand plan has been drawn up to fix this problem.
You, every one of you who is reading this has been chosen to participate in enacting the solution.
Indeed you are lucky, you have absolutely noting to worry or fear. The brains behind this project this are the masterminds of the highest repute

They are the lords of Chaos theory. They refine subtlety to an art. The faintest flutters of their butterfly wings result in storms across the globe. Nothing can fail when they put their very brilliant minds to it. They are the E in expert. The put the B in the Very damn Best. There is no Hiccup in this plan of ours that hasn’t been foreseen and planned for. Like the geniuses they are they have accounted for every possible failure. Henceforth we shall have nothing but smooth sailing till the triumph of out plans. Nothing can shock us. Nothing unforeseen can occur. Every wrinkle has been accounted for with ready solutions. They are the very best. The very damn best.
Nothing can surprise..

Afrobabe said...

I am first,
I think I am first
Not to sure if I am first
I better post quick to remain first..

Yep, still here...i am first!!!

Afrobabe said...

Ok, other than the craze I sense in the society's motto or reason for existence, I noticed you mentioned making love in the afternoon twice...the second mention has another individual involved making me think the first time is on ur own...probably in the toilet....on a hot afternoon with no electricity!!!Am I on track?


You go away for a long long unaccounted time, then come back sounding like you were kidnapped by an alien....Helllooooooo? Can you hear me Carlang? Do you still speak speak Nigerian????

Ade said...

Carlang..u mentioned making love how many times in ur post....am scared oh..
Yeah, the running man must be removed, and the butterfly dance by patra must be re-introduced....
Ninja turtles sounds more like u...

guerreiranigeriana said...

lmao...don kolo finish!!!!...

...which kin of making love?...threesome with no cooling system?...hmmmnnn...all that sweat...yeah, not such a good look...although afrobabe seems to think you were describing masturbation in the first instance...excuse me...*runs to reread the post*...

guerreiranigeriana said...

hmmmnnn...afrobabe just may be correct although i will dispute the use of 'making love' to refer to masturbation...which kin love are you making to yourself?...nonsense...it is an improper use of the term, in fact...

...sorry, the sex without cooling system is what stuck with me...i'm imagining after the fading of the aftersex glow...the smell of sex clinging tightly to the beddings, curtains, hurriedly discarded clothes and panties, even to the dust resting on the motionless arms of the fan...yeah...that might not be a good look for setting the mood next time around...

...so, what's my role?...put me in coach, put me in!!!...*jumping vigorously up and down, although there isn't much up top to hold your gaze, but the small and teasingly quick flashes of a flat mid-section beautifully adorned with a multi-colored waistbead just might hold your attention;)*...

UndaCovaSista said...

*standing ovation and rapturous applause*
Another delectably surreal post from the Master of delectable surreality - Carlang!

Joy Akut said...

dont you get, the sweat when making love in the hot afternoon(which you mentioned twice by the way) makes for great lube...

i seriously think you've speaking alien language(afrobabe is on track here) thats why the only thing every other person is focusing on is the sex/making love bit. me is thinking aliens say that in same language as we do.

i've read and re read this post, i just keep scratching my head(now theres this sore in the middle spot)it feels like i'm watching a sci fi movie, which i admit is one of the few times i actually give up and admit that maybe i'm dumb to an extent because really i dont get or in this case i get but sort of dont get...you dig?
nah...
okay going back to read yet again, maybe i'll find a spot for me in the secret society of nobly great society of k...

gosh you've definately been abducted by aliens.

Joy Akut said...

and i must not be left out, i have to have two comments like afrobabe and guerreiranigeriana. that'll only be fair. i think the secret society preaches fairness yeah?

great so heres my second comment, hopefully there wouldnt be a third and a fourth.

Joy Akut said...

so maybe theres a third comment and maybe a fourth.
just read it again. still scratchin my head...

(i'm not completely dumb, i get what you're saying but i'm playing dumb incase the fbi or cia or sss or whatever have a radar on this and coming barging in, asking questions...you see. they wouldnt ask me cos they'll see i said i dont get what you're suggesting. i'm a wise wise girl)

Joy Akut said...

okay, maybe i'm not that wise cos i said my wonderful plan out loud. oh well, i guess it'll be cool dragged in for questioning, like in the movies,
i'll get to boast to my friends that i had my fingers pulled out...oh men cool!

guerreiranigeriana said...

lmao @ fantasy queen!!!....hilarious...

guerreiranigeriana said...

yeah, i also just wanted to have four comments...all for fairness, of course...

bumight said...

you guys (fantasy queen, guerreiranigeriana) are crazy!
carlang is crazier!!
what have they done to you? I mean the aliens?
I'll have to transfer my bloglove to someone else now, cos I dont think I can deal with all this craziness!

Unknown said...

ummh,i have no comments.thats becuz i don't know what to write.first,carl dissappears and when he appears,he's got u scratching ur head.bu"might" might be right.carl is spreading a craze disease.imagine we have a mission to overthrow phcn.with what? our computers and blogger.com?

darkelcee said...

Naija Chickito said...

You don come again. Each time I have to read you posts I have to wear my critical thinking cap to decipher all your yarns. Now, several caps later, I still don't get it.
Why can't things just be simply said? *sighs*

But PHCN dey mama me for Abuja o. God bless the inventor of generator. This one is for you. Carlang is on his own. (OHO)lol

Smaragd said...

av got stitches in my sides reading these comments, that's after the headache i got from reading the post itself!
u peeps are just totally gaga!
uh... carlang, when u have decided on exactly what ur mission statement is (will the girls be wearing boxers too btw?), u might have a recruit in me, anything to get the freaking PHCN outta my life!

ur previous post almost got me weeping(had to control meself cuz of my boss), av got this to say: u are very sensitive!and that's so sweet, and i also think T's lucky to have a friend like u.

I admire T very much already(and i dnt even know him), infact, tell him i'm AA (and those arent just my initials...lol) and wouldnt mind meeting him and being his blogwife(maybe we can have blogbabies)...lol
seriously, i have several sickle celler friends and my heart aches each time i see them in pain! it's so unfair! i lost one two years ago.

He will def find lov, and healing i pray. he neednt worry cuz he sounds like a really terrific person.

pls tell him i'm sending up a special prayer on his behalf right now.


keep blogging dude, cuz am totally hooked!

Smaragd said...

Lighty 'neferet' Kopearl said...

Joy Akut said...

why do i suspect afrobabe or GNigeriana would be the one to snitch me out?
well not considering that you decoded me to the world yourself.

Joy Akut said...

forgive my long post/comment? i just had to have more comments than the two very visible snitchs to be.

Arewa said...

Damn the boy don colo ooohhh!!
Lol....u are soo funny.
What am i even saying: I told myself that i wasnt going to comment on your post because u have fashied me . I am sulking!!!

Sherri said...

i see u've been drinking the reformulated coke. lol

InCogNaija said...

i was sweating but trying to pretend that this made sense for a while...till you mentioned NEPA (NPHC)...i was like What?!!! i was totally thrown mehn!
then i figured that trying to make sense out of it was going to lead to a migraine...i no get phensic, so i let it go and just enjoyed the irrationality of it.
I think i see that irrationality can be relaxing especially in a world where the need for rationality is leading people to try to rationalize things that dont need to be rationalized...like this write up for instance...lmao!!! that is a result of an irrational moment, courtesy of Carl with a C!!

InCogNaija said...

and about the making love saga...i thot i was the only one who thot smthn was up till i saw the comments. dude c'mon!! LOL@ making gloves.

guerreiranigeriana said...

Naapali said...

"Have you ever tried making love in the middle of a hot afternoon with no source of cooling?
Have you ever tried making love with another person in the middle of a hot afternoon with no source of cooling?"

Good things are worth waiting for. This post is a good thing! I still envision that tent in the desert, the guest list keeps growing though!

Ms Sula said...

I was holding my stomach dying of laughter.

You're brilliant... and yes, I suspect this project is indeed very secret.

Lol!

Afrobabe said...

Snitch??? well only if there is a cute man involved in the plot...that is when all hell gets loose and our true colours come out (mine is red by the way)...

Ol boy the madness don complete. Don't fight it just accept the inevitability.

I should hopefully get to round to reading your submission by weekend. Looking forward to it. Where is the second one you promised? Anyway we have bowed to public pressure and extended the deadline to April 30. Take your time to finesse it.

Che-e-ly said...

Carl,

i am extremely surprised that you are particularly upset about the absence of power during sex, masturbation, lovemaking, whatever. Have u heard that part of why LUTH was insistent on an industrial action was cos a number of surgeries were done using light from mobile devices?!?! And u have 55 comments!!!

Joke, but endeavour to be serious with serious issues, please.

Regards,

C.
