Thank God for civilization, i heard of that story too as a kid, with the one my brother above posted about dog's tears or something.

Is he married to Tasha and the son's name Tariq?

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.

Such things happen, but right now is not the time to explain. Got to sleep

This is true. We hv many ghost here on nairaland

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.

J111333:
My maternal grandpa's childhood friend returned in 2016 with just nylon bag from Cameron where he lived for over 60yrs without any and I'm Igbo. Even my mum wasn't born before he left so it's possible that the efulefu lived in Gabon since civil war without .

Real Ghost spotted @ ya grandpa childhood friend.

WIZGUY69:


I believe the supernatural exist and I'm not an Atheist either, but that doesn't mean we should not make use of our brain anytime we come across a strange story, if the story is true, he will be more detailed.
This is 2019.
Questions like these should come into play:

Does Pa thaddeaus have relatives or not?
Do they visit the family?_
How come it was only Gabonese that's aware of Pa thaddeau's death.
Although this is Nigeria, this kinda nees spread faster than goodnews though.

You're the few wise one on this thread.Any of them are just gullible. Nollywood really messed their childhood . They didn't even put it into consideration that the person might have been wrong about his death. Shows how gullible people are . No wonder pastors fit turn them like amala

respect80:
What if death is a transition from one form of consciousness to another?

I had imagined some time ago that dead people could be all around but exist in a spiritual universe within our universe where matter, space and time becomes completely irrelevant to them.

This means that they (dead people) don't drag space with us, they also don't need time to do what they want to do or to be where they want to be, and material things e.g clothes, shoes, wall, cars etc are completely immaterial to them.

Oh no! What am I even saying...
Death remains a mystery!

There lots of questionable things but unfortunately religion silent us

tianshie:
Thank you for your helpful comments. This is serious, pals. My friend is traumatized. I just called him a few minutes ago. He was incoherent on the phone.

Wait, what year was your friend born? Was he hired by the ghost or what?

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.

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.

English Teacher
I can't find any insult from the 2 sentences up there.
I just stated the obvious, and we both know you' don't have any first hand experience from what you posted up there. It's the story you were fed as a kid, and you still believe it as an adult. I will advise you try it yourself or you debunk it.
It's stale already.

chigoizie7:


As a scientist, will your common sense also tell you that some strange leaves can be gathered, set on fire and say few incantations, rain will start falling, and be stopped at will?

Coincidence! Never seen it happen in hot harmartan. Can you explain why they don't 'conjure' rain in hot dry season?

kokomilala:
It's transmigration of souls.In Yoruba metaphysical world it's called AKUDAYA, which literally translates as reincarnation. It's demons that used the image of that nan to create the lie that reincarnation happens.
With prayers ,the demons can be exorcised.

The wisest of all the commenters sooo far....one who knows the secrets of the ethereal....
This demons particular poses the bodies of restless spirits people who hoped to achieve a lot and were sooo not ready to die.....it wasn't Pa Thadiues that returned but a demon using his body...



To all prudent men who feel that all what we are saying is trash and the spiritual doesn't exist.... Shut up and get out of the thread..nobody wants to prove any shit to you....I only hope u experience one of these.... See dem their very lives are controlled by forces they can't explain yet they argue trash....many occurances in their lives and in thoes of their families cannot be explained by them yet that claim wisdom... Bloody ignoramuses....better repent and come to Jesus ...it is only he that can save u from this wicked world....I might not be full of days but I have seen things

WIZGUY69:

na that one wey weak me , i heard same thing then that's only dogs that re capable of seeing ghost that once put on a glasses worn by a dog, u will start seeing ghost like the dogs...like some sam nd dean winchester kinda shiit

Mckandre:
These thing happens nd they live around us. Have u ever wondered why its not advised to bend nd look at people through ur two legs in the a market place? theirs a nortion that its a medium at which spiritual plain can be felt nd u get to see spirit folks feets floating unhinged by gravity, no one has lived to tell the tale though because once u do, a mysterious force will hit u to death instantly or u run mad.

Get an education you refused. Sometimes I don't blame the whites for calling us monkeys

cumut for here jare if u don't have anything reasonable to talk leave the trend let those who can offer experience,assistance,advice or solution help the OP

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.

@ op somethings can't just be explained.... if my mum's late younger bro could go back to his place of work after his death to work for two more years before they realised he was ghost, who am I to doubt such things anymore.

Everything you said is correct.

But this OP's story is a figment of his imagination.

Unfortunately you people aren't wise. You're just foolish and superstitious.

oops

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.

See wetin Nollywood dey cause.

Richy4:
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.q

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.

Lmao

Coincidence fire. I have witnessed it, no be say them say, it is very common in my place especially during burials.

Sunisonflex39:
if his father is 69 are you saying the Oldman was somewhat around 28 years when he was drafted to fight the war?

Teenagers fought at the war.. Not saying I believe this story though

tianshie:


Here it is.

Don't bother explaining your sincerity or not to anybody. People chose to believe what they want not what you say. many don't believe things like this until they're cought in it too, who knows maybe your friend (the victim) never believe until now.... However, let me help know what's going on here a little.

If you've every heard people say "Not everybody on earth here are human", this is what they mean and it's so true. Why does this things happen? No spirit entity has the right to function on earth without a body or flesh. Yes! This is for the same reason human MUST carryout the craft of a witch backed by a spirit to function because their body is the license for that operation. Okay! There are spirits who have the ability to pick up bodies to function on earth, this is what happened to your friend. These spirits mostly pick up familiar face known in society so they could be accepted by the people of the community, until they're checkmate then they leave and wait for another opportunity. If they bear children, those children won't be normal spiritually, they'll usually have unique abilities amongst their peers. Lemme stop here. There's more to what your optical eyes can see. Your friends family need prayer deliverance section oo. No joke! Hope this help you a little.

WIZGUY69:



This one carried children mentality to his adult life

I know yuu still believe Nigeria vs India 99:0 match

my broda, d guy own rethorics weak me break my bone finish oo!

bookiesondebt:
Here is my question.....
Kindly take note of these points
1)You said it was during the biafrian war which happen in the mid 1963
2)The op claim the father is 69 years old mathematically he was born in 1950.Therefore he was 13 during the war apparently a child soldier.
3)At 13,So you are telling me he is married already..is that it?.
Cos how can the Gabon returnee knows the number of the wife since he hasn't been home since God knows when..?

Biafra War 1967 - 1970 Dee Thaddeus was 17 years of age at its commencement.
