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.

A lot of them believed so much in it.

Probably true

My friend's father told him on Christmas eve, 3 days ago, that he planned to sell a prized property as restitution. What my friend told me: His father worked for John Holt, the British company, in the 1950's. The day after independence, in 1960, after the British left, his father stole 900 pounds from the company s and ran away. He invested the money through the years and became wealthy.

Now in his old age, my friend's father wants to sell his 9 storey building on Victoria Island, and give the money to St. Vincent's for the poor. Because he wants to die with a clear conscience.

Do you know of any similar stories of people who worked for UAC, other British businesses, who lived in British built houses, estates, and stole from the British as Nigeria gained independence? We aim to convince my friend's father that everybody else did this during independence, and not to beat himself up.

My friend says he will "attack" his father if his father sells the VI property!!!



Bro you lied

It's a sin to have complicated friends?

OP.... abeg, go borrow sense.

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

Thank you. They've been praying at a nearby celestial church.

And Nairaland is where to practice your creative writing skills abi?
Lmao.

There are something's we cannot explain because they are beyond us for now. I've heard similar stories around sometimes ago. Such people do exist and whenever they are found out, they just disappear into the thin air just like that. Let your friend be prayerful and continue with his life because he can never see him again.

Btw Op,your friends seem to have weird 'fathers'.Has the 9 storey building been sold?

Story teller

No, it wasn't sold. Thank you for asking.

You sound like those folks who spend all their time on Twitter checking to see who followed and unfollowed them.

Katier00:

I was thinking the same thing.

I will nominate Chinwe Owoh to play the role of the wife because of her crying abilities.

Chinwetalu Agu to play the part of man who witnessed him killed during the war.

Zulu Adigwe to play the part of Husband who turned into a fish in bathtub or what was it he turned into when confronted..

Okey Bakassi will do nice as your friend on this movie,

OP you did not say how many kids the man had. Anyways, it doesn't matter we will assume he has 3 kids a son and 2 daughters. I haven't watched Nollywood for ages. So I will say Maureen Solomon, Chioma chukwuka or Nkiru Silvernous would be a better options for this movie project as daughters...

OP I want you to nominate who will play your part very well as a good friend..

What a tales by moonlight.

You guys just think everything in life is black and white. That's a very dumb and myopic mindset. There is more to this world than meet the eye.

It's not fiction. I'm tired of posting my friend's dad's photo, but here it is one more time. I know it sounds stranger than fiction—this happened in Onuimo.

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.

If you have no useful advice to offer, dilute yourself back into the nothingness whence you came.

My only useful advice is for you to seek the psychiatric help you're in dire need of. Weirdo.

"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.
