Someday just posted his grandma who is 194. How Dem dey do Africa?
African don't have written history so how will the children guess the years? Humans cannot go more than 120. Any thing other than that is a story and lie.

Last two years in my church, w lady came to thank God that she just clocked 100 years that Sunday!!!! The entire church went up aflame with joy and shock. She came alone , still wearing her weavon ooo. After that she rolled on the floor and got up herself and BRISKLY went back to her chair!

Anyone would have rated her 68years or thereabouts. That woman can still hit extra 20 something going by her vitality.

I saw her sometime ago, walking into the church gate but I was already in a long traffic. I must take a selfie with her and ask her some questions.

Last two weeks ago , a friend of mine lost his dad who was 105years. African still has very old people,whose ages are not documented

Tar! My grandma is 150. Rest in peace.
Look at this from the angle. If your grandma is 150 as you said, that means your mum wil be 100 and you’re 50.
Note-: I considered the worst case where women reached menopause at 50

Why not, in the East many knows, you know we practice age grade cultural stuff
Members of the same age grade have age variations of 4 or more years depending on the society. That's at best an estimated aging system. Guinness records require an exact birth date.

May her soul rest in the the bosom of the Lord. Amen.


Bonapart:
All that without Christ Jesus is a waste. Hope she believed in the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ
Did you not read where she said, "...and I will cease to exist in this body?". It shouldn't take rocket science for you know that means she was definitely a Christian and was saved.

I'm not talking of Guinness world records, anyway, I didn't read the article. I'm saying hundreds or thousands of Nigerians are older than her. She was not the oldest person in the world.

There are somethings you can't just claim

May her soul rest in peace,

Reaching the remarkable age of 117 is an extraordinary feat and Branyas Morera's longevity is a testament to the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. her life spanned over a century, allowing her to witness immense historical and technological changes throughout her lifetime including two world wars

but how did they know she was the oldest person on earth

We have a lot of old grandmas and grandpas in our villages across Africa and no one knows their real age

I believe my grandma was older than this woman before she died last year
since we do not keep records, what do you expect, they have or keep records with proofs. Abeg leave them ooh

Saying she was the oldest does not mean more the "oldest with confirmed age."

As you rightly said, there might be older persons around the world that their AGES CAN NOT BE CONFIRMED.

She lived a long life whereas most Nigerians are likely to die at 52 years.It's always slump and die in this country,every now and then.Just look at the mark difference.Humans can live up to 120 or more, with a consistent physical exercise and healthy diet.

Yea, Imagine tinubu saying he's 71 years, when his profile is with the US authority since he first stepped his feet in the US soil. His 1st wife died at the age of 70 in 2018, if still alive by now, shed be 76. How do you expect them to respect our age data when the number one citizen isn't sincere with his?

There are many Africans who lived more than a 100years old. Its the advent of birth certificates and records that is skewed against Africans.
