A guy named Lugard Ekhator is on Facebook claiming that his grand father, Pa Ekhator Onabor, is a super-centenarian - born around 1890, which would make him about 125 years old.

According to the grandson, Pa Ekhator Onabor is the current Odionwere of former Ugbugo village, now Evbuohen N’Oba, near Ugo Niyekeorhionmwon, in Orhionmwon LGA of Edo State.
"He married a wife who had six children for him (2 men and 4 women), but died in the 80s. One of the female child (the first born) is late now some years ago and was of old age, as Pa Ekhator now has 5 surviving children.

More of what the grandson wrote on Facebook below...

Although he never went to any former school, but worked with white men in the timber industry where they were used as tree (igedu) cutters with axe, and then prepare the logs for transportation through the sea via Sapale for industrial usage by the white men.

Although he was born and bred as a traditionalist, (I used to follow him to make sacrifices in the bush for the gods in my younger days) but today he is a professing Christian, who underwent water baptism some five years ago or thereabouts, after confessing JESUS as his LORD and personal saviour.

He was never rich financially in all his rich but this never stopped him from ensuring that his children attend standard schools as it was known then, which led to his first son Mr. Johnson Ekhator, 3rd born to served and retired from Pamol Rubber Company, Sokponba, Edo State. His second son, Mr. Raphael Ekhator, (my father) 4th born served and retired from the services of Ministry of Education, Edo State Government as a Messenger.

To appreciate the longevity of Pa Ekhator Onabor, his last born is 61 years old this 2015.

BIRTH TIME:
According to Pa Ekhator Onabor, his mother told him that he was around 7 years old when Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi was exiled to Calabar, during the invasion of the Benin Kingdom by the British in 1897. That means, Pa Ekhator was born around 1890 thereabout though no single document whatsoever is available to back this up.

And in October 1996, he was crowned the Odionwere of Ugbugo.

You guys seem so sure. Have people ever been old before? Just wondering

The man does seem quite old, especially considering that his last child is already a retiree. Personally, I have never hoped or planned to live up to this age, or this state of being. I hope he's being well taken care of.

Oh lawd!


The son is a gold digger.
