Synopsis:

In a nation brimming with potential yet shackled by corruption, Joshua, a university student from an average family, dares to dream beyond limits. From pitching business ideas in crowded lecture halls to striking deals in the shadows of power, his journey is one of relentless ambition and cunning strategy. As his empire grows, so does his vision—to rebuild Nigeria from the ground up. But power comes with enemies, and the battle for a nation is more than business; it is war.

Yet, Joshua’s story does not end with wealth or power. It is only the beginning. For when he claims the nation, he reshapes it—into a technological marvel, a beacon of progress, and a glimpse of the future. But with the future comes new threats: political conspiracies, cyber warfare, and the question that haunts every ruler—how far will he go to protect his vision?

This is the epic rise of a man who didn’t just lead a nation—he owned it.

Billionaire: Money and Power

Eko Atlantic – The Decision

Joshua stared at the gun on the ground. The weight of the moment pressed on his chest.

The man in front of him, bound and gagged, whimpered. Fear in his eyes. Begging without words.

The Broker took a slow drag of his cigar. "Tick-tock, Joshua. This is the moment. You either prove you're ready for this world… or you walk away."

Adisa crossed his arms. The other men watched in silence.

Joshua's mind raced. This was a test. A trap. A defining moment.

He crouched, picked up the gun. It felt heavier than he expected. His hands tightened around it.

Memories of Home – A Ghost from the Past

Years ago, when he was just a boy. The day they lost everything.

The landlord had come with his men, tossing their belongings onto the street.

His mother pleaded. "Please, just a little more time."

The landlord laughed. "No money, no house."

Joshua watched his mother cry. Felt the helplessness of that moment.

He swore back then: Never again.

Never again would he be powerless.

The Shot That Changes Everything

Joshua's grip tightened on the gun.

The man trembled, shaking his head desperately.

His pulse pounded in his ears. The world faded.

Just him. The gun. And the choice.

Joshua felt… nothing.

The Broker exhaled, impressed. "Now that… that is power."

He clapped slowly. "Welcome to the game."

A New Order – The Rise Begins

Joshua wiped his hands, forcing down the unease in his stomach.

Adisa patted his shoulder. "No turning back now, bro."

He knew it. Something inside him had shifted.

The Broker handed him a new phone. "From now on, you'll get calls. Opportunities. Real ones. You're no longer just some student trying to make it."

His eyes gleamed. "You're someone people will fear."

Joshua pocketed the phone. He wasn't afraid of fear.

A Night with Amara – The Rift Begins

Later that night, Joshua met Amara again. She could tell something was different.

He shook his head. "Nothing you need to worry about."

She frowned. "You're not telling me something."

He kissed her—long, deep. Trying to push away the night's events.

She kissed back but pulled away, eyes searching his.

"Don't shut me out," she whispered.

Because some things couldn't be shared.

And the man he was becoming… wasn't the man she fell in love with.
