themonk:


Do you have any counter statement to make or are you appealing to being smart without saying anything logical like pastors do?

How old are you ?

kingxsamz:


Oga make we hear word.
What you're describing is nostalgia.

if they had studied medicine they'd have understood better how powerful the brain is and how it works.

Ishilove:

In 2016, around 8.30am I greeted my neighbour but she looked straight ahead and ignored my greetings. By 5pm same day someone came knocking on our door to inform my folks that the same lady died in accident that morning on Benin-Ore road.

Till date I'm still asking myself if I really saw the lady or someone who looks like her. The former is unthinkable...

I believe you. This event happened to me January 1st 1995.I slept over at my friend place after dragging me to his church new year Eve service,he was hoping it will make me a believer in the coming year.
I left his place around 8am,on getting close to my residence i saw this crowd,mostly women looking sad and some with teary eyes, I did not bother to ask what was happening until I got home and was told.my neighbour died. I was shocked because I saw this dead neighbour sitting among the crowd of women I saw on my way home. I still ask my self till date if I saw right

Owologbo:


most people (like me) will not doubt him (he might be telling lies though), because it do happen.
there was this lady that died in my village some years ago. The very day she died, she went to Lagos to greet her sister. when the sister asked her to enter the house, she was like she's coming that she wants to deliver a message.
the moment the she Left, a call came from home that her sister is dead.

Eyah, did her sister in Lagos come to your house to give you this gist.

zinaunreal:
Guy a 69 year old would still be a kid in the war not even able to pick up a riffle

You said it all.

WIZGUY69:





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

Match that I watched with my own eyes.

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.

Few questions:

Was your friend born before the war??

Just trying to figure out if he was able to impregnate someone after he "supposedly" died and wake up??

Since Eze was born, has there been able any pictures taken with his father?

Just trying to understand this whole thing...

So apparently Thaddeus's family didn't know he died during the war?

Did the family notice a strange behavior of sort prior to the phone call?? How did the man from Gabon get the number of the wife since he left for Gabon in 1968?

The reason for that is it took 30 plus years for someone to realize he was dead... usually people from the same village as him or his friends would have sent a message to his family then.... my dad fought in the biafran war also and way back in the days he told us stories of the war... causalities, families that lost only son, first son etc.


I know your friend is traumatized and hopefully he gets to see a counselor or a specialist to help him...

berrystunn:


How old are you ?

Do you have any counter statement to make? Go and look at who I quoted, how I responded to him and countered his statements one by one.

You are now appealing to age or maturity, nothing valuable to say. Just noise like the average Nigerian.

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.

Amusing to see how the whole story turned out.

Pa Thaddeus also happens to be Hon. Alpha Kanu.

1sharon do you believe this storey?

Most of you illiterates experience usually happen as kids. At that age you people are most vulnerable and your brain coukd easily misinterpret situations.. shits like this don't exist.

alexola20:
Many kids on nairaland don't know nothing.The story could be true.
I heard a friend back then in Cotonou,he died 2002.And in 2007 I met another guy in Shanghai that looked 100% like my dead friend from Cotonou.
The only difference between them was their names.
The physical look,talk and walk all the same.And then we became friends again.
The time I started thinking if I was seeing a ghost or something,few days or weeks later can't really again this new guy died again.Case closed.
This is real folks.

There are at least 8 people in the world who has your looks.
Your story is hogwash sorry.

OkCornel:

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?

kingxsamz:

Nostalgia of what?
You should spend sometime on your dictionary

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.

tianshie:

He should give his life to Christ and use the name of Jesus to rebuke the presence of any Ghost and it will stop. It's that easy. Every power bow to the name of Jesus. You don't need to go to any special man of God or ministry. Once you are born again, you have authority over every power of darkness.

Ego2:
@ 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.

None of his colleagues came for his initial burial or what?

He is presently in Aso rock, serious!

vincentjk:
1sharon do you believe this storey?

Of course not! The guy is a liar
And im sure you believed every bit of it
Stalking me?

LabDNA:


During rainy seasons you mean. Tell the Dibia or babalawo to conjure rains in dry season, it always fail. Why?

Did u know that Reinhard Bonke On a particular crusade during the dry season of December_January in a village in Esan in the year 2005 said that on the last day of his crusade that rain is going to fall and that know one should leave the rain because its shower of blessing.. Everybody thought he was joking till that d.day the white mans words were fulfilled and rain showered on that ground in the heat of the dry season.


But of course you will argue..why believe in the supernatural when it will validate God and his call for repentance to liberate us from the judgement of the great day....I laugh at your ignorance.. May God help you..in Jesus name..amen

Imo ooo
I fit don Bleep this u galfriend ooo
Post her pictures let’s see.

sorextee:
How did the Gabon friend get the wife's phone number?
Invite that friend to the nairaland hot seat.

Not doubting but just been logical

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.

Hmm its not fair o. So the innocent Saro guy has now become a ghost in Nigeria. nawao

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.

No one has lived to tell the tale, so how is the story known?
