Ten years ago I heard the story of this tortoise and was amazed at the name Alagba. The soun had to stop people from climbing on her back in order not to stress her out. Rest on Alagba. Greet Soun Ogunlola and Timi Olofa ina when you get there.

344? Was any scientific analysis carried out before they arrived at that conclusion? Any radio carbon dating or something?
yes! There are methods used to calculate their age from marking on their shell.

Tortoise used to live really long, by the way I schooled in Ogbomoso so I know that Tortoise, The king said that his own father met the Tortoise in the palace and this present king is almost 90yrs so if we do the maths it is possible for the animal to be 344

Forget math and all that. Simply do a radio carbon dating and you wouldnt have to do any guessing or mathematics.

That shouldnt be too hard to perform.

Lies! 344 wetin? They wan their own UNN Gorilla to trend.

Do we even have the technology to detect such in Nigeria. Even common Radio-carbon dating that gives rough estimate, we don't have.

Haha! Even if you are stupid, must you prove that to everyone on this forum? Some corrected you but you still went on to exhibit your stupidity. Shame on you
