am surprised they have not eaten it in zoogeria where anything walking is food. i guess its because its in SW. if the turtle was in SE it would have ended up in chinedus stomach

When we tell them that the Yorubas' civilization & existence is as old as the existence of Man, they(flat.ties) cringe & call them brown roof. Your forefathers were still living in thatched roofs when the Yorubas were using corrugated sheets.
Truth is mine!
You mean tortoise is the symbol of your civilization?

YH! My home town. Never seen the tortoise though, maybe when I finally go for tourism and not burial I would remember to go see the creature.

330 years old means that it was born in 1686?
When did we start recording the birth dates of people in Ogbomosho talk less of a turtle?
Where are the graves of Ogbomosho people who died 330 years
Why can't we ask questions?

Had it been this info came from the white man, you would believe it. That tortoise is upto that age. They calculated it by the ascension of the past kings to the present. That is, from the 3rd Soun to the present Soun.

yessur 330 years afterwards, and the story of this tortoise was brought to the forefront. this is by no chance any coincidence. This means the judgement on the black race is over and now expect the revelation of the elohims amongst the tribe of judah. the dawn of a new era of enlightenment and wisdom and righteousness with africa being the beacon of light for the whole world. a cosmic and global paradigm change is upon us. the dawn of a new era cry cry

You probably don't live around Oyo state, if you do, you must have heard of the tortoise. There's no hidden agenda or new story about it. The story about it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Besides, tortoises are known to live for more than 500 years, so this tortoise hasn't done anything "special".

where did I refer to Heritage? Why can't you read between the lines with a clear head.
I was simply targeting those who hurl the "brown roof jabs". You could imagine a Roof that had been in existence for over 300yrs, would you expect it keeps shinning each day like the sun?

Truth is mine!

Hmmmn! Though i'm proud of being a yorubanian, but this story is hard for me to believe. not 150 years, not even 200 years, 330 years i doubt this story i beg.
