Dr. Jaiteh,
The issue of SitiKong /Njiri has been rightfully answered by Joe and
Malick. But you know in the now almost mysterious world of theoretical
physics, the new hype is the existence of parallel worlds where the
existence of life cannot be precluded!
Sounds like everyone is coming to my grandma's old vision that we mingle
around with jinns and ghosts without realising anything - they might simply
be existing in other dimensions incompreshensible to us humans, you see.
Well, perhaps it is best we just hang on around for the next hype. In the
mean time let us encourage the Ghanaians to be good losers and assure them
that we neither invented withcraft nor "M Theory".
For those interested in M Theory, check on:

or Professor Michio Kaku's official site:

Congratulations Scorpions!
Sidibeh
