emkz:
If you are as matured as you like us to think you are, you could have expressed your disagreement without being abusive. A few of you have intellectual capacities and cognitive abilities that depress some of us, which is why we refrain from commenting. If you disagree with a comment, you say why, puncture arguments with reasonable facts and we learn from each other. I believe among other things, that is the essence of this forum. If you don't understand, ignore and move on.

If you descend to trading insults, what does that say about your own maturity? I hope I have given you some nuggets to conduct yourself in a more mature manner.

What is there to be understood about gullibility and lack of critical thinking?
We can't just allow dumb ideas to freely flow because it is a forum.

There are kids here who could be infected with such inanity.

Vida04:
A fair person can look pale
She never said she was dark and secondly a black man can look sick just looking at their completion
Google pictures of ckd patients before and after

It doesn't matter how she looked.
The detail was added to spice up the story and add credibility to it.
It is all lies.

emddi:
About ten years ago when one of my uncle died, believe me I know what I saw,I saw him very briefly passing on a bike,If I had told people about it they would say I'm mad

And they would be right.
You saw him very briefly that says it all.
Your eyes and brain deceived you.

1Sharon:
Lool how exactly do black ppl look pale?

Don't mind her.
Those stories are all made up.
It could be due to poor memory, a sick mind, or a prank gone wrong.

But it is very painful that many adults believe such fiction.

theButterfly:
And who is asking you to post anyone's photo? As if that proofs anything to people here. Abeg, direct yourself to yaba left, pls. Your friend's father, your friend's father all the time.

Thank you for being a rational voice on this depressing thread.

AlphaStyles:
I guess you are the one that owns the ops friend father or you share the same father since the op doesn't know what he is posting

Op's friend doesn't exist.
If I tell you I live inside the ocean, will you believe me?

seborrhic:
Anyone of you that posted believing this story needs to be flogged and his/her entire school fees right from primary school donated to the medically challenged for being a waste.
A simple question you dumb lots should have asked the Op was:Of the other soldiers that survived the imaginary battle,so no one went back then to tell the family,even if after the war,that the phantom Mr.Thaddeus died during the war?
Or did they all travel to Gabon?
Did the imaginary friend that travelled to Gabon not keep in touch with his own family all these while and was he not asking after his war comrades that were close then?
Lastly,the possibility that an Easterner still alive would stay in an African country for 50 years without visiting home all these years is zero,Nilch,nada!
Reading comments of people that even entertain the possibility of this fiction happening has really spoilt my day and ruined my appetite for sleep and food.
Very depressing.
Anyone that believed is a glorified illiterate.

You read my mind!
I can even see that some people I assumed to be rational from previous interactions
already fell for this fable.

Neither the friend nor the Gabon returnee exists.
It is all fables.
I believe Nigeria has the highest percentage of gullible people.

modsfucker:
Creative writing taken to a whole new level.... Your topics on creative writing workshops are still on your profile. And the terrible aspect of it is that it's always about my friend's father, just like your last topic....

He apparently isn't that creative at least to sound minds.

gensteejay:
Ishilove's kind of threads.

Such things are possible, though I have only heard stories. I have not had a first-hand experience of them.

Why do you assume it is possible when you have no evidence?

ecolime:
Guys, these things happen.

A close friend of my late aunt saw her at Abeokuta in 2006. She even stayed with her for 2 weeks. Late aunt who struggled in her lifetime was already a well to do and living in her own house with exotic cars in her new life at Abeokuta.

This lady (friend) had relocated to Abeokuta city several years back and never knew my aunt had died in 2002.

This friend came to Lagos few weeks after my late aunt had hosted her. She stopped by at our family to share the hospitality news and how well her friend hosted her for two weeks. It was there and then she got the shocker.

Every member of our family was shocked and in disbelief. In fact one of my cousins followed the lady to Abeokuta to reconfirm but the flat they both lived for 2 weeks was no where to be found and has a totally different building on it.

What makes it scary was that something similar had already happened 3 years back when my Uncle too passed on (story for another day) and we all just concluded that's the norm in my paternal family.

Lost my mum in 2011 and I thank God similar thing did not happen. I still think about her till date and never for once have I dreamt about her in my dreams. To me, it means she's resting perfectly well in peace.

Things happen folks. Mysteries beyond your comprehension.

Isn't it obvious that the friend is lying?
Not everybody who puts on good clothes is sane.

Your cousin risked his life and followed a psycho to confirm a lie.

The ghost lived in a fake house and drove fake cars.
How convenient.

Yakira:
I've heard stories like this, based on what I heard ,they are seen by those who don't know they are dead, they go as far as relocating elsewhere starting a business, getting married and even kids.... There are lots of things to this world I tell you

Yes. They are just stories.
They always occur where they can't be verified.
None of this ghost ever get arrested.
None ever gets admitted to the hospital.

OmalichaJesus:
Things like this happens o, I have a friend whose elder sister died like 2 years back only to be seen by a childhood friend who dint know she was dead at Okoko market.
They greeted and all.

After like sometime the childhood friend was talking to my friend whose sister died 2years ago about how he saw his sister last month at the market, that was when they told him she died long ago.



I guess they only appear to those who don't know they are dead.

No single evidence that they meet or greet.
It is all lies.

Legits:
Op things likes this do happen... There was a situation few years back when my mum friend called scolding my mum on how her junior sister was. She met her at oshodi and she didn't like how she looked pale and so on. Whereas the said junior sister has died a year before.

Another one.

hadduni:
"Akudaya" is known in yoruba socio-linguistic hypothesis as returning, transformation or transmigration of a dead person into a living being post untimely death. The belief in Akudaya is one of the metaphysical psychologies in Africa, most especially Nigeria and Yoruba culture as a case study. The op could ask any elderly Yoruba person I believe they are in a better position to explain Better.

It is all lies just like the talking tortoise and snail story.
They don't exist.

digitaltrades:
Your moniker talks about wisdom, but your comment is on the flip side of wisdom

Your moniker reads digital but your thinking is analog.
Only fools believe these tales.

eskimoeze:
I know a woman who married ghost too in my village. They have been living together for years but the woman doesn't know anything about her husband. She started pressuring the man to take her to his village and they agreed to a particular date to visit the man's village, on the agreed date, the man disappeared and and up till now, no one has seen or heard about the man. After the incident, half of the their only child paralyzed.

Just advise your friend to be prayerful that's the only thing that will help him

That story is a lie too.
If that "ghostman" existed.
A crime was committed against him and they are trying to cover it up with a fake story.

tianshie:
You've got me mixed up with them Nairaland-clout-chasing teens. I'm not the one. I run a music promotion company in Atlanta. I'm busy enough.

I just confirmed that you are a "creative writer" case closed.

ctleurocollege:
OK now I'm sold. Lalasticala your attention is needed


My suggestion is for them to find a way of permanently disposing all his personal items like clothes, tooth brush, shoes . He came back because he wants his old life back but it's not the right thing. Hold a memorial service for him where enough prayers should be said for his spirit to rest in peace

If that man existed, he was never a ghost.
They probably murdered him and trying to cover it up.

ctleurocollege:
If you want us to believe include one or rwo evidences to corroborate the story otherwise we will take it as fictitious

Evidence?



Evidence for tales by the moonlight.
This ghost ate, drank, had a job and apparently visited a hospital when sick but suddenly disappeared.
If there is anything to this story, the man was murdered by a member of the family and they are trying
to cover it up.

tianshie:
I went to secondary school with Eze. His father, Thaddeus, fought in the Biafra war. What we know about his father's wartime experience is that the war ended for Thaddeus when he was wounded in Onitsha in 1968. He came home.

Recently a man from Eze's father's village who had fought the war with Thaddeus told my friend's mother (on the phone) that actually Thaddeus died in the war. This man had fled to Gabon after the war. He'd just returned to the country.

Since the news broke, Thaddeus hasn't been seen. He'd been in the bathroom when my friend's mother took the call on the phone. After the call, my friend and his mother could hear the splash of water in the bathroom, but when they opened the door there was no one there!

What advice do you have for the family? I've never heard sh*t like this before!!

Stop spreading fake news.

Yeye.
So you are promoting the anti-social media bill to prevent criticisms.

technicallyrich:
its a liar.sharia must hold whether you like it or not in the 4 yoruba states except lagos and ondo which they stole from us.

Go play with the other kids!

Mad men everywhere.
Your sharia didn't stop Boko haram, it encouraged it.
Your shari didn't stop bandits, it encouraged it.

Now you want to spread your destructive ideology to other regions.
It will not work.
Any governor who attempts it SW regardless of religion will have his political career destroyed.

sbashir10:
Question of the day, why are the Muslims of kaduna not complaining about the demolition of mosque which is dear to them??

The reason they are not complaining is that El Rufai is "one of them".
People tend to forgive misgivings done by their own than outsiders.

If you don't believe me, read the fake news about the demolished mosque in Rivers
and see the reactions of even educated Muslims.

landforeast:
This man should bow his head in shame
Deceived lots of people and caused the death if Innocent young men and women
The Real MVP is Nnamdi Kanu
Igbos value trust
Once they can trust you they will give you all their life savings
But any way you go astray the hated will be unbearable
That is the Reason many Igbos are ready to receive a bullet unbehalf of NK

No, the reason is hate and bigotry promoted by Kanu the coward.

cRobo:
Don't take your life frustration on me bro
Enjoy your Buhari Nigeria

Me I japa once

Enjoy

You are still a poor man because of your mentality.
It is illiteracy and poverty that makes some of you see traveling as your greatest achievement.

SMH

cRobo:
Just fed up with everything in Nigeria, any way thats why i came to America

Na fire wood and charcoal stove sure pass for una

Nigeria gradually returning back to stone age

Shut up.

MedicH:
Pussy ass niggar spotted. One thing is naija girls know how to deal with your type. The stories are everywhere and its a complete disaster and wreckage.


My family is doing anniversary or even when i was inducted and licensed and neighbours were around to help cook food for visitors, i mean very fine girls and the one i call my babe is in the sitting room watching a movie. It beats my imagination. Wake the fvck up niggar.

I have read this same line of thought a million times already.
Same attack, same wack mentality.

Why don't you be original for once?

You are probably too young to understand life.
Being abusive won't earn you loyalty but tolerance.
As soon as you are no longer useful or necessary, you will be dumped
through abandonment.

It could take 10, 20 years but it will happen.

Then you will start blaming women not being loyal instead of looking inwards.

Barrywilly:
But why would the EFCC painted this Mompha guy so bad as an Internet fraudster while all he probably did going by the EFCC witnesses was running illegal bureau de change. What of those Mallams changing dollars in sabo? Were they registered with EFCC or cbn. This is a selective prosecution by the EFCC to save face for a wrongful arrest. No single allegation of defrauding anybody. Nobody came out to accuse him of scam. EFCC should also arrest all those Mallams if what Mompha did was wrong

Those mallams aren't worth billions.

seangy4konji:
sometimes I wonder if people especially those ladies drop from heaven...especially Instagram.like do they have families?even mn go anonymous..but they I wonder if they have a life like family,friend they grew up with,brothers and ko...I bow oo

nicelaw:
But how do people really say those things on social media?
like you don't have relatives, Siblings, Colleagues at work, class mates on your friends list?
Imagine a colleague or Relative who hold you in high esteem seeing this on your Timeline..
It's crazy if you ask me..

Those people are not real!
This is what many victims don't realize.
From my experience, many profiles on Twitter uses fake image and fake names.
Just search a random twitter picture on Google and you will see that it belongs to a model,
, a business person or a crime victim or similar.

It is very likely that nobody knows that lady in real life.

Shashar:
when you get to that point where you have no need to Impress anybody,your freedom have begin

Yes. Just like the madmen on the road.
Oh, I forgot, even madmen have some need to impress or they will die of hunger.

iRepNaija1:
Ya'll are frustrated, aren't you? You complain about always having to approach women. A woman decides to shoot her shot and approach a guy. Now all of you must bash her? Confused and frustrated lot.

That is not an approach.
That is sexual harassment.
You don't go about propositioning strangers for sex do you?
