"No doubt Nigerian's support the Islamic people," said Folami Sow, sadly. "As a matter of fact, they haven't," said Baako, Folami's assistant, "They've instead chosen to remain neutral, at least for the time being," Baako handed Folami a newspaper article with Daifallah Mir's face on the front, "But military involvement, while not inevitable, seems highly probable."

"At least we have time to react. We aren't going to let them get their hands on our military equipment. Before long, they'll be knocking on our door, asking for all of our equipment. And of course, we can just never say no, can we?" ranted Sow

"I agree sir, but it would be best if we could avoid all of that entirely," said Baako quickly, "perhaps there is a way for them tor remain neutral, throughout the entire conflict."

"Hmm... have any ideas how we could possibly manage to do that?" asked Sow.

"Erm... Not exactly... the GEC is discussing the whole situation in Hamburg, Germany. They invited five different countries. I wasn't told many details from the Nigerian official that I talked with, unfortunately."

Sow thought for a moment. "Of course we weren't invited. We're just a damn extension of Nigeria. Most people forget that we're even on the map. If we were invited, I could perhaps influence the Nigerian's decision... but I'm not going to go up to the GEC and ask if we can go. It would be a terrible decision. Either those who support the GEC will think we are suspicious, or those who side against the GEC will think we are siding against them. And while the Nigerians losing neutrality is one issue, us losing neutrality is even worse." 

"Why don't we ask Nigeria if we can join them on their expedition to Hamburg? Send a message to both the GEC and The Republic of Nigeria, but make it seem like it is merely a way to keep tabs on Nigeria," said Baako.

"I hate to say it, but you may be on to something. You know how much I like asking the Nigerians for favors though..."

[hider=To The Republic of Nigeria & GEC]
We request to accompany The Republic of Nigeria to the meeting at Hamburg, Germany. It would be best for our nation to be familiar with what actions others are taking in at this time of imminent conflict.
