ogugua88: I'll start with myself.

SHORT-TERM GOAL: Embark on a medical mission in Anambra. Every year, doctors residing in North America from Anambra do a medical mission during the summer of every year. I missed the deadline this year, so my goal is to go next year.

LONG-TERM GOAL: Finish my Health Science program, concentration in Community Health Education, and enter medical school. Obtain dual DO/MPH (Doctor of Osteopathy/Masters of Public Health, global health concentration) and practice here for a while, before returning to Nigeria to open two free clinics, one in Delta, another in Anambra, which will provide free basic health care and physicals.

Who's next?

aribisala0: My question was clear; has the government of Sudan backed the action against the incumbent President;OMAR?? How come there is a warrant out for his arrest??
The government does NOT need to back it and if it is justified to try Gowon and others so be it. I support it 100%. Let us see the evidence

Rumin8: Sharing an experience is not attempting to mislead. That was my experience. Others have shared theirs. I am happy you believe I reserve the right to choose. You too should have. Just indicated your belief and perhaps tell us why. Not make a sweeping statement such as the one you made, declaring people who believe in ghosts mentally unfit.

Rumin8: My point is, you can't infer that everyone who believes in ghosts suffer from any of the medical conditions you listed. Are you an expert on the subject? What is your declaration based on? On a clinical study?

Rumin8: ^^ Hi Doc ACM10, you're not supposed to swallow it if it don't taste right. I have a strong scientific background and don't readily accept the whole paranormal phenomena but my experience gave me a different viewpoint to these subjects. So again, I believe ghosts exist. You don't, so that makes it even. Now you will not get a straitjacket and lock up me up in a padded room, will you?

Rumin8: Excellent Doctor, excellent. The world is one big unit of hypoglycaemic, hyperglycaemic, high on rec drugs and mentally disturbed patients. I get it. Its a shame you don't work for Pfizer, you could have fixed us something to clear our heads with.

hbrednic: [size=20pt]Ignorance is signing a document you dont understand[/size],
4 signing the Aburi accord, Gowon should be in the guiness book as the most clueless,
ignoramus and confused head of state in the history of man kind.

Rumin8: Well, as unlikely as some people think ghosts are, they exist because until I saw one, I was heavily sceptical just like you guys are.

Couple of years ago, I travelled home to deliver some items to my granny. I was supposed to spend a week but found the family home slightly uncomfortable so after two nights, I decided to move to the home of a cousin who lived apart.

My cousin, it should be pointed, lived behind the only cemetery in the town. Not that that was an odd thing because a lot of folks lived there and didn't care at all about the sights of gravestones just behind their window. Anyone who is familiar with Bonny Island in Rivers State will know the cemetery and the community of Orosikiri behind it.

So, after spending the day with my old lady, I had a late dinner and set out to meet the cousin. I took a bike and pulled up at the stop between the Shell or Mobil yard around a roundabout, then walked the 100 metres to the point where I'd have to walk through the graveyard before making an exit.

It was pretty dark but I wasn't worried because I'd gone through that path severally in the past but after three, four steps inside the cemetery, I saw a figure approaching me.

It wasn't unusual to meet people walking through so I didn't give an extra thought to the figure of a man walking strangely towards me, but suddenly I had goose bumps all over and became extremely light headed. I peered closely at the 'man' and saw a face I'd never forget. It looked truly bizarre. And then it dawned on me, that what was coming towards me was no man, but a ghost.

To my astonishment, I couldn't turn and run, even though my whole body was screaming for me to get away from the object. I could also not make sound. Everything was just surreal. My head continued to swell and I became afraid that I was going to die there.

Eventually, it reached me. It stared at me for a while, with eyes that were just black holes and walked past with a loud hiss. There was a sudden coldness as it remained near me but as it went away, the night became humid again. I remember regaining control of myself and turned to watch it go, still walking/floating away. Everything must have taken 30 seconds to a minute but it felt like forever. I then ran quickly to my cousin's place and told him what I saw.

He said a chief was buried there recently and a neighbour had complained seeing a man at her kitchen door twice.

I left Bonny the next day and returned to Port Harcourt. Shared the experience with a friend who advised me to go to church, but I dismissed the idea. I had a few nightmares after the incident but have pushed the whole thing to a quiet corner of my mind, but seeing this topic brought back everything.

nanotechy: I don't get it! Why can't these old people who have little to loose tell the truth for once? awolowo and a group of nlders said biafran soldiers diverted the food meant for civilians but here gowon agrees that food wasn't made available because 'igbos objected to the creation of corridor for movements of medical aid and food to the civilian population' wtf is wrong with these old people? Who's telln the lie here? We won't benefit from gowon's journey to the hague but they should stop adding salt to injury by continuously standing truth on its head. Smh!

afam4eva: Pls can someone put up a picture of the Man.

honeric01: Kindly give us your own rough estimate (sample test)
