That means you are a young lad that doesn't know anything except Tacha. Or you didn't go to school or you are just a chronic ignorant because even my five years old son knew about Alagba

logan2:
sorry but I know about this tortoise since I was a kid, funny enough, I never melt him in real life...

Thank God you didn't MELT him in real life; now you can now go and can

hope he was not eaten...

Tortoise is one of the animals that have longest life span. The remains of the Alagba tortoise should be preserved and kept in any of the Museum of Natural History in the country.

Make dem bring it’s remain jare make we take am do pepper soup, after all na meat

YOUNGELDER1:
344 indeed

lolz, that means it should have died long time ago.

SpecialAdviser:
Im sure some people will start worshiping it. Even calling it their ancestor.

Africans and stupidity are like 5 and 6.

Monkeys, cobra, cattle and many other animals are widely revered and worshipped in India. Are they also Africans?
Copying the culture of others doesn't make you suddenly more civilised or sophisticated than your kilt and kin.

The reason Middle Eastern religions now look attractive is because the owners maintained and spread them. In the beginning adherents were hounded by the governing authorities of those days.

They were considered primitive trouble makers opposing status quo.

Cant believe people get mind to eat hundred-year-old meat..nobody should spread any kind of virus here o

Mumu nie, who dash u ur moniker??

if its d oyinbos dat want to kp it as artifact now u wil b hailing dem, but we re tryin to do such, even resisting the urge to disect it into put but u re stil throwing tantrums all over, shiorr

NtoAkwaIbom:
Woawww beautiful to know that we were able to conserve that one for that long

I feel some cultures help in animal preservations, in where i am from in akwa ibom, it is a taboo to kill or eat monkey meat, so one finds out, that in the bushes enclosing my area, there are a good number of monkeys that face poaching from outsiders...

In other areas you find out that they dont eat snails, snakes, dogs and the likes... These customs ordinarily helps protect the culture banned animals.. Come to think of it,if it were not the palace's tortoise we all know this tortoise would have been meat some 300years ago, the moment it was caught.. But because it became the property of the gods, it lived to 300yrs.

Maybe the best way to vonserve animals for future generations is to link them to our culturesand make them sacred

what abt killing the monkeys in ur backyard and transportin it to lagos to eat, isit still a taboo??

and monkey meat dey sweet o

lalastical go dy eye dat meat like dat..... see beta pepper soup

If you don't know Alagba then you don't know ogbomoso that well.

boss1310:
so who was counting the age knowing fully well that three centuries ago we don't count the years like we do before the arrival of our colonial masters

Through stories pass down from generations. The great great grand father told the great grand father about how his own great grand father has been living with the tortoise.. Have known about that tortoise since I was a kid

NL Admins ehn... In 2016, they posted about this tortoise and claimed it's 330 years... 2016-2019, 3 years difference they say it's 344 years... 3 years cum 14 years...
UR A JOKER!!! ����

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.

of course but in the case we want to do some manual counting

BABSSSOO:
if your great great grand Father died at 90,and your great died 59 years later,and your granny died another 60 after.... and your baba don reach 70 now....meanwhile na all of them know alagba while growing up, oya you calculate alagba age...

God bless you bro, wisdom is really far from these people and they will be here forming as if they have sense

Lols... Still taboo

MelesZenawi:
How do they know the tortoise is 344 years..?

How do they know that the USA is 243 years old?

Alagba was allegedly brought to the palace by Soun Ikumoyede Ajao, the third Soun of Ogbomoso, who is believed to have been born sometime in the late 16th century and who reigned in the 17th.

Mr. Ajamu Oluwatoyin, the secretary of the current Soun says dating of the kingship of Ogbomoso was started by the elite in 1797 during the reign of Oba Toyeje Akanni (1797 to 1825), the fourth Soun and one time Are Ona Kakanfo (the Yoruba Nation Generalissimo).

Meaning the tortoise was born during the time of the trans Atlantic slave trade hmmm.

You need to GOFRONT as your Username because I don't think you know anything at all. You mean you just heard of that tortoise from that ancient city. Sorry is your name.

Arysexy:
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.

Something is wrong with you... You are just exhibiting an act of ignorance...
