Of all the daily problems we face in the modern world, being stuck in a continuous, floating space-nightmare would be pretty annoying – just ask Matt Damon. No, don’t ask Matt Damon, ask the very real human-being that actually exists, who goes by the name of Abacha Tunde, an Air Force Major and the ‘first ever African in space’. Major Tunde is currently lost in space after journeying to ‘the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T’ in 1989. He’s been there ever since. Nightmare. The story recently came to light when Tunde’s understandably concerned friends emailed the guys at Anorak . Their plea to bring him home is a heartbreaking one, and requires $3million. If the above image text is a little small, here is the email text in all of its glory…
If you haven’t already guessed by now (god help you if you haven’t), the whole thing is one elaborate scam attempt much similar but different in size to the usual ‘African Prince’ scam emails that fill up your spam folder – and while still wildly annoying, we have to commend them for this new, fresh approach. We hope Major Tunde makes his way back to Earth in one piece. |

Whatever has been sustaining him for the past 26 years can keep sustaining him forever. Abacha Tunde indeed. |
