During his aforementioned administrative service at the University of Bahr El-Ghazal, Prof. Dr. Ambrose made significant development and transformations at his capacity. He is a man who dearly value human resources as he mentored us and makes us love and understands veterinary more than we imagine starting from our orientation in first year and during our daily interaction with him in the college before he was appointed as dean of the college of post graduate studies and scientific research. 


Despite this huge assignment, he was still teaching Theriogenology and reproductive biotechnology in both fourth and fifth year classes which show his love for the nation as he still offer himself for the upbringing and mentorship of the young veterinarian of the republic of south Sudan. We appreciated your service sir.


His leadership capabilities make the College of Veterinary Science to be the best College with good academic services which include subsistence practicals and earlier preparation and release of the academic results before any other college in all these years in this University. 


Finally, I wish you good luck in your new assignment and may God bless the work of your hand and continue to bless you to serve and deliver the quality service to the republic of south Sudan.

Wau, South Sudan


There emerged news and circulating photo of a kid (goat) born with eight (8) legs in Pathuon West Payam (Luonyaker) in Gogrial East County of Warrap State this week.

The people in the area put the kid in “Ateny” containing Dura and performed some traditional makings claiming that “it is a miracle” as seen in the picture attached above.

As a veterinarian this is not something connected with the traditional kind of thing or believes as people are circulating it online.

 It is a monster and the name of this particular monster in the picture is called “Monocephalus thoracopagus”.

It is a posterior twinning type of monster because the division of the body is at the lower (posterior) part of the body (esp legs) while the thorax and the front (anterior) part of the body is single.
