The Whispering Trees Of Lagos.part two

Part 5: Ripples

Ayo’s decision echoes. _Iroko tech_ whispers fade to murmurs, then hum along with Lagos’ pulse. Government clams up; hackers bleep elsewhere. Kai resumes research quietly.

One night, Ayo strolls by the lagoon. Trees whisper an update: _“Change stirs. Listen.”_ Phones buzz around - protests planned. Corrupt deals exposed online. _Iroko tech_’s role unclear…but trees seem pleased.

Part 6: Sync Deepens

Ayo joins activists; Kai hacks helpful leaks. Whispers guide subtle pushes: _“Use truth. Share power.”_ _Iroko tech_ embeds deeper in Lagos’ chaos. Is it tool…or conductor?

Ayo asks Kai: “Do trees decide?” Kai: “Maybe they sync what we need.”

Epilogue Update

Lagos buzzes new energy. _Iroko tech_’s whispers now public: _“Connect. Share. Change beat.”_ Ayo smiles grimly. Trees still whisper.

Part 7: Threads

Months pass. Lagos adapts _iroko tech_. Gov’t co-opts parts; citizens subvert others. Whispers now predict protests…influence deals. Ayo’s famous. Kai’s trees are “smart nodes.”

Ayo’s phone buzzes oddly. Whisper: _“Look up.”_ Drones swarm Lagos sky. Trees sync perfectly. Message lands: _“Network upgrade.”_

Part 8: Merge

_Lagos Upgrade_ announced: _iroko tech_ + gov’t + corps = “smart city.” Critics silenced. Ayo wary. Kai says: “Trees keep syncing…but who pulls strings?”

Night. Ayo hears whispers: _“We adapt. You?”_

Final Epilogue

Ayo in shadows now. _Iroko tech_’s scope vast. Whispers hum: _“Change…still.”_ Trees sway on.

Postscript: Whispers Persist

Years later. Ayo, semi-retired, visits an _iroko_ tree in Epe. Whisper: _“Still syncing.”_

Ayo smiles wily. “Tell them: Lagos keeps beating.”

Tree whispers back. Ayo laughs low. Message fades.
