Dude, on this one, you are not very correct oh.

During the same war you quoted, people your grand father's age were NCOs while 26yrs' old boys like Nzeogwu were already majors. Army seniority nor be by age oh.

- I get your point regarding military ranks.

But Buhari was no smart kid to be a major at 26. And comparing him to Nzeogwu, a southerner, is a bit of a disservice.

- Based on facts and evidence, people from educational, economic & socially less developed areas tend to be slower in most human development indexes, when compared to their counterparts in more developed areas.
Take a sample of average age of Northern graduates/students and Southern graduates/students (perhaps in an NYSC camp), and you will be surprised at the significant age & developmental difference.

Another classical example is African child(in Nigeria) v. American child(in USA).

Heck in Nigeria, an 18yrs old female, is still viewed and considered a "girl", unlike in developed world, where she will be regarded as a full grown woman.
There are underlining factors for this... It's not just perception but more of human development.

Note: Not saying the human developmental gap between Northern Nigeria v. Southern Nigeria, is as huge as Nigerian child v. American child, though.

Bubu's life sef is always in the hand of Igbos if they want to terminate him it's very easy, from doctors to his pilot

The body of an old woman is like a very old car....fix all you can, it will still keep you on the road there'§ no two ways about that. The earlier a person knows that He/She i§ aging the better for Him/ Her as you can help prolong your life-span by the things you do and eat and very lastly much rest and work-out.

Too many sides to this coin

Everything you said is conjecture and cannot be taken as fact. It may be a correct assertion but it remains conjecture except it is backed with verifiable research.

I don't know much about PMB's age, grade or actions during the war thou but I feel that most Nigerians in professional fields have falsified ages; be they footballers, preachers, bankers, soldiers, teachers, doctors or whatever. Hence my suggestion that we shouldn't dwell much on this age matter.

We need more of investigative journalism like Sahara Reporters.

freeze001:


Sounds like exactly what u need especially when u have decided to become an advocate for a totally lost and deceitful cause. I have given u a diagnosis for free: hypocrisy. Lose it and thank me later

Take ur own advice; seek light and guidance against the darkness of HATE in ur heart. 4 ur own sake.

Why is it so difficult for him to step down?

He want to die as a President

With MRI machine that is used for scan...You can get accurate age

Don't say this again. Ever!!!

JideAmuGiaka:



Pls stop disgracing yourself in the public.

Ignorance is the worst problem in the world!!!

blazer234:


Stop being such an ignorant dunce. In this age of medical advqncement, it sounds stupid for a literate person to be making this kind of disgustingly myopic comment. You don't know how they detect his age? Please stop insulting your sense of reasoning.

It is probably easy for you to believe that you are more enlightened in "medical advancements" on your keyboard wherever you are.

Nigerians and big big words sha!!!

Determination of age

GUESSING someone’s age can be risky at cocktail parties, but what about when their future is at stake? For refugees, the difference between childhood and adulthood can be the difference between asylum, deportation or jail.

Thanks to international child protection laws, asylum-seekers are more likely to be admitted to wealthy nations if they are under 18. Minors get access to many social programmes and as such they can be costly to governments, so officials want to be confident on the age issue. When documents are in question – or do not exist – immigration departments look to science.

Unfortunately, attempts to assess age with X-ray scans of teeth or wrists are doomed to failure, according to work to be published this week in the British Medical Bulletin. The fundamental flaw with such tests is that, because children grow at widely different rates, skeletal maturity shown on X-rays – which is used to gauge age – doesn’t necessarily match chronological age. Teenagers can have adult bone structure as early as 15 or later than 20, says study author Tim Cole at University College London (UCL). He says X-rays can provide the wrong answer about whether someone is under or over 18 up to a third of the time.

“It’s superficially an easy question to ask, but answering it is fraught with difficulties,” says Al Aynsley-Green, an emeritus professor of child health at UCL, who led the study.


“It is superficially an easy question to ask, but answering it is fraught with difficulties”
Dental scans are also used to determine the maturity of wisdom teeth. These can reach full maturity as early as age 15, as late as 25, or in some cases never fully develop at all.

In wrist scans, age is estimated by looking at 20 or so bones initially separated by cartilage, but which progressively move closer to one another until they fuse in the mature wrist. The reference used for this test is a 1959 atlas compiled for doctors to assess healthy bone development, not age. It includes 1000 X-ray images of wrists of white middle-class American children, and the fully mature wrist of a 19-year-old. Yet wrists can be fully mature in children as young as 15, says Cole. A rival atlas compiled a few years later indicates a mean chronological age for wrist maturity of 17.6 years – give or take 1.3 years. So most “children” have “adult” wrists before 18.

The use of age-determination tests is currently at issue both in the UK – where the UK Border Agency is contemplating a trial of the wrist technique – and in Australia, following incidents including a 2010 scandal in which three Indonesian child immigrants were illegally jailed as “adults” after wrist X-ray tests. They were released last year after providing birth certificates, but about 60 immigrants that arrived with them are currently in jail while their claims of age are checked. The Australian Human Rights Commission is holding an inquiry into the practice.

Still, faced with large numbers of immigrants from poorer countries, immigration officials in richer nations have increasingly been turning to X-rays as a “scientific” way to resolve age disputes. A 2010 study of 22 European countries found that 16 conduct bone scans and 10 use dental X-rays. The US has used both tests for almost two decades.

Practitioners of the dental technique in the US have defended it, saying the inability of such tests to give exact ages has long been known and accepted. “The trick is to know its limitations. We’re estimating age, not determining it,” says Jim Lewis, chairman of the Age Estimation Committee of the American Board of Forensic Odontology. Lewis says that the “wisdom teeth” technique was developed in 1993 and has been used since then by the US immigration services without controversy.

Outside of immigration services, sports governing bodies have an interest in ensuring athletes compete in appropriate age bands. Yet both the International Olympic Committee and the international football federation, FIFA, have agreed not to use X-rays to resolve age issues.

What technique would be more effective? Aynsley-Green and his team say that the best hope is in detailed assessments of physical and psychological development by specially trained paediatricians, skilled in combining different aspects of growth to make an informed estimate of age. It is crucial to chart a new way forward, he says: “Governments must stop believing that there is a ‘scientific’ test that will tell precisely the age of individuals claiming to be children but without papers to prove it.”

You can try to determine age in children/adolescents, but even this is clearly inaccurate.

Ha!
-What is conjecture regarding fact-based evidence which abound in several documented works, incl. UNICEF's?
Or the fact that Developed areas/countries have a high Human Development Index as compared to Developing ones?

What do you think inform the decision of humanitarian organizations to locate or focus their services in northern Nigeria, against being evenly distributed in Nigeria?

Look for this work: "Child Development in Developing Countries" by Marc H. Bornstein et.al

-As for Buhari, it's undoubtedly evident that he falsified his age. The man is a fraud!
And lying to his doctors about his real age can only endanger his life more, with respect to course of treatment & care.

Anyway, I expect the doctors are not quite daft, as verification of age is as easy as ABC today...

It is my prayers that the President gets well soon and return in great spirit to confront the challenges for which Nigerians elected him. Pending that, everyone should support the acting President in continuing to drive positive changes in our country. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Who still remember this?

Buhari that part of her husband's illness was a result of “a spiritual attack,” and asked her to proceed to Saudi Arabia to pray for him. From Saudi Arabia, Mrs. Buhari returned to Nigeria about two weeks ago. One source claimed that she had not returned to London ever since.


Their god can only answer prayers in Saudi Arabia

Topestbilly:
"doctors believe to be more than 80 rather than his official “age” of 74 years old.

So Baba sef use football age

Anyways, speedy recovery.

hahahaha kai Nigerians

Naaaa. He is not a slowpoke oh. There is a lot of sense in what he wrote. I only wanted to clarify his point and let him know that we got other angles to it.

This is a bullshit story by Sahara Reporters(SR). A calculated figment of imaginations. No originality.

SR said the doctors 'believe'. So it is a matter of believe concerning his age, no scientific analysis to justify that.

SR said sometimes he was force-fed. What a lie! We have seen pictures where he was happily eaten together with Amosun, and other pictures with other dignataries does not justify this SR claims.

SR said he is in critical medical condition. But those in critical medical conditions do not stay at home to receive visitors and make calls, as is evidently understood that the President does often.

Get well soon Baba and jail as many bastard as possible

But how many has he jailed since 2015.

How do you think that the EU know the real age of players or FIFA know the real age of players


With MRI scan...You can't lie

Awww,I know how u feel. Still u got schooled real good. Duhhh
