How do they know the tortoise is 344 years..... They knew because Ogbomoso is an ancient town and the tortoise lived to witness the reign of all the kings well over 300 years ago. I'm from that town and have seen and taken pics with Alagba, it's indeed old and big 3 Likes 1 Share |

ojonugba2014:I saw the tortoise in 1975 as a kid. It was even very old then compared to the one at UI zoo. 344 can't be a lie, animals lived longer than human and going by history, it may even be more than that 2 Likes |

May the tortoise continue to rest in peace. No human in history can ever beat that record or even get to 200years. |

DSHADOWWALKER:I don't know what to say to you. It is apparent that you're using free basics, hence you cannot research before opening your mouth. Let me help you with an example; Adwaita is a tortoise that lived for 255 years. |

DSHADOWWALKER: and they tell you that it is everything that interests the publishers at Guiness records? is the company not owned by humans? so anything you don't see on guiness is a lie abi? Mr bayo broke the record of the longest time spent to read a book here in lagos but Guiness said they won't accept it until he comes to do it at their office in london. so there is no big deal about them. we can be our on guiness too we don't need validation from any body |

cbrass: True,but tou should no we africans exaggerate a lot,ww are bad at record keeping and we don't leave enough evidences.It is very hard to believe things like this,and that 344years old is out of range,d oldest confirmed yet is 189 and dat margin is just too much to believe.That was how a northerner also claimed to be 287years old some years back when the oldest confirmed person lived for 119years |

I personally met d tortoise anf interracted with it. Its indeed old. As a matter of fact, it understand some basic yoruba language like greetings and basic instructions. It has its own "orderlies" who tale care of its movement and feeding. That creature is truly around dat age range. 1 Like |

DSHADOWWALKER:You are still not listening to me, on this thread you have seen a lot of people confirming the age of that Tortoise, you are still relying on Guiness record for your validation, i am sure if they come out tomorrow to accept the age you will believe. Let me add here, when Baptist was celebrating 100yrs in Ogbomoso I went to Bowen hospital and I saw the Picture of Doctor Bowen with on of the SOUN that likely brought that tortoise from war to the palace, now do the maths. |

DSHADOWWALKER: That is not true, as long as you are not registered with them they do any jack. You think the publishers will spend their money to be doing research up and down, do you know how much it will cost, that is why it is called world Guiness records. It is their own record. By the way I watched on Natgeo wild a Turtle close to 300yrs |
