aywhy93: If you were a Biologist, I'd say you're a foolish one. But you're not even one, so I'll keep it simple, you're just a dumb person who can't process information or argue with facts, I've made several references to different facts to buttress my point e.g. the Methuselah tree, verified oldest list etc but the only thing you could bring out was that dumb question, when your initial point was as if 'Methuselah was a fictitious figure' which I cleared. Now, it's him not living up to that number of years, keep chasing your tail. Even if that was your point. My questions - "why was the oldest ever tree named after him.?, "why did many ancient drawings & writings emphasize so much on his longevity.?" are there for you to answer. But all you could do is dumbly rant about your cooked up opinion of the human DNA as if you even know anything about the DNA's composition and regeneration. My point, in case you're lost, is still that - the 124 years old woman might be the oldest verified human in the world but not even close to the top 50 oldest ever to walk the earth. Now, feel free to keep chasing your tail!!!
You're a fool , you know nothing about science and your comprehension level is so so so poor. Bring out rubbish to prove what Methuselah tree ko , Methuselah rock ni , naming anything by Methuselah doesn't prove Methuselah existed or all other fairy tales in the Bible , which writings validated his longevity . Keep acting dumb
aywhy93: First off, you're more confused than I thought, even more confused than the OP... You should read, research more and expand your knowledge cuz if you're knowledgeable enough, you'd know that it was extremely difficult to keep records for people who have lived in the most ancient times, especially their age, hence why the list being released in our time is always referred to as Verified list of oldest people in the world (not list of the world's oldest ever people), because their actual D.O.B was recorded and can be verified.
There are archeological extracts and artifacts that have shown that people actually lived more than that in the past but the actual length was not verifiable because of the difficulties people had with keeping records in ancient times. Even the list on Wikipedia says oldest verified people in the world. Why.? Simply because the fact that they couldn't verify the exact date for the more ancient ones doesn't mean they didn't lived more.
Methuselah wasn't a mere story, several ancient drawings & writings apart from the Bible even mentioned him. It's your choice to believe or not to believe but don't you think it's plain ignorance or lack of deep thoughts to say/think you don't have a great-great-great-great grandfather just because you don't know him or there was no record of him.? Even the Scientists that doesn't believe in God or the Bible named the oldest confirmed tree in the world Methuselah Tree before the binomial nomenclature. Because he was well known for his longevity. If the Methuselah tree was 4850+ years as claimed what makes you think the people that lived during the time this tree was planted or growing lived less than 124yrs.?
You're not only confused and ignorant , you're also not knowledgeable. While it's true that we can't say definitely that she was the oldest living human , no iteration of the human DNA can survive for 200 years let alone 969 years. Brush up on your biology.
Then this your analogy is just plain stupid ( apologies for the word but there's no other euphemistic word to use ) , how do you compare not having a great great great grandfather to not believing someone lived for 969 years , I mean , did you even think it through
aywhy93: Sorry, you have difficulty with English Language... Rephrase or explain the actual meaning of "World's Oldest Ever Person" that is in the headline and figure out your level of confusion.
World oldest person refers to the oldest person that ever lived , is that so hard to comprehend
Now let me tell you why you're confused , you probably think all those burial posters you see in your village with 200 years and so on are really or you probably believe the Methuselah story of him living 969 years is real , right ? If you believe these you're not only confused but highly ignorant
France and Turkey join a list of Countries who have urged her citizens to leave Ethiopia without delay:- Finland, Saudi Arabia, the Hashmite Kingdom of Jordan, Israel and The United States are amongst Countries that have made this call.
After a year of conflict that has left thousands dead, forced more than two million people from their homes and pushed parts of the country into famine, the tide of the civil war in Ethiopia has kept on raging.
Fighters from Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray and their allies announced that they are pressing south toward the capital, Addis Ababa, after driving government troops from Tigray in June. They have since also pushed east, hoping to seize the road that connects to the port in neighboring Djibouti, which would give them control of a key supply route.
The Ethiopian Government and Tigray People's Liberation Front have been urged to ceasefire and return to the negotiation table.
However, the TPLF continue to approach the Capital, despite calls for dialogue by Jeffrey Feltman and Olusegun Obasanjo, Special Envoys to the Horn of Africa for the US and AU respectively.
Shit! And I know someone who is going to Dubai on Sunday through Ethiopian airlines , he'll be staying the night at Addis Ababa that evening. Hope nothing happens while he's there
SapphireBlue: Davido could have used his fame and influence to raise funds for him the same way he did for the orphans.
Not many people will come out to send Baba fryo money if he asks but DAVIDO has a greater influence and could have helped him RAISE AWARENESS not necessarily even giving his personal money but influencing others to do so.
Baba fryo reigned in an era where there were no social media platforms and has almost become unknown so it is only normal for DAVIDO who plenty people know today to help him with his POPULARITY.
Orphans don't have the same opportunities other children have and have never had the same privileges Baba Fryo had then , please stop supporting him
anyilalaz: "Baba Fryo, no be only you the depressed, since Buhari regime, you know how many Nigerians d depressed?
When you the blow, who you elp? those olosho slay queen were you the carry before, call them to helep you... abi, those boys were the follow u cruise life, make them helep you too"
I'm not even against him if he didn't help anyone but when he had the fame and money what did he do with it to secure his future. If tomorrow comes and Davido is languishing in penury I would also ask him what he did now to secure his future
All baba fryo is saying is that while he was in dire need during his mental health episode, he reached out to DAVIDO but Davido never responded and...
NOW, he is SURPRISED that the same DAVIDO is now the same person giving out ₦250M to orphans who he (Davido) does not know personally while ignoring him a colleague in the business.
MIND YOU, Baba Fryo said (in this video) that there is nothing wrong in Davido helping orphans but he should start by helping fellow performers (who are currently without funds) in time of need.
THIS IS NOT A THING OF ENTITLEMENT BUT A COLLEAGUE HELPING ANOTHER IN DESPERATE TIMES.... after all, charity must begin from home.
You're the one who shouldn't get it twisted , he has been in a place of privilege and he frittered away his successes , these orphans haven't had the kind of privilege or fame he had and he feels he should be considered before them . Then again it is Davido's money and he can do whatever he wishes to do with his money
Sammydanny: Baba Fryo, a veteran Nigerian singer, has lamented that he is disappointed that pop star, Davido neglected him, ‘a known face’, in his trying times, only to gift unknown orphans N250m.
In a speech via his Instagram account, the ‘Dem Go Dey Pose’ singer said, “There is something that I have been seeing on social media that someone gifted orphanages N250m. To me, the thing is funny. I remember when I was depressed, they tagged many of my colleagues; they tagged Davido, Tuface, and others but none of them responded. It was people that have never seen me in this life, people that do not know me that responded.
“This N200m that I am hearing about and seeing on social media is surprising to me. If someone like me who is popular and well known was not helped, it is people and orphanages that no one knows that is being helped; they are been given N250m, it is so funny. I will advise Nigerians and Black people to be wise and stop all these things.
“White people do not do all these things. All what we are doing will look so funny to them. I am not saying that giving money to orphanages is a bad thing because I am an ambassador to an NGO that I do not collect a dime from. But funny enough, when I was depressed and had problems, the NGO did not respond. You see how we are. Now I am seeing N200m and they are posting it everywhere; Davido gives money to orphanages and inaugurates a five-man committee to distribute that money. Everything sounds funny to me.
“If I see someone doing good, I appreciate them; I am not saying it is a bad thing. I just want to ask people why someone like me that people know, who cried out; why did they not help the person that they know? It is the people that they do not know or can see their faces that they are helping out with N250m. Let’s all think; will we call that wickedness or ignorance?
“I tagged the Delta, Rivers and Lagos State government, none of them came to my aid. Is that wickedness or ignorance? But today I am seeing that N250m is going to be distributed to orphanages all over Nigeria. I will advise Nigerians to open their eyes.”
Perez99: Good day nairalanders. I will make it very brief. Please I need your advice. I've been a nairalander since 2016 but this is my first official post.
My father is a good, noble and humble man. A successful business man. He's very proud of us (his children), we're also proud of him. We're 3. I'm 29 years of age, the eldest and only son. He make sure we don't lack anything. We all went to one of the prestigious Private University in Nigeria. I and my immediate baby sis are graduate, while last born still in 300l.
The problem is that, my father don't know how to dress, he prefer to wear faded and worn out clothes. My dad drive highlander 2014 model. If my Dad comes down from his car, you will think he's a driver to an imaginary Boss because of the way he dressed. Blessed memories of my beloved mom May her soul R.I.P. She was always complaining and sometimes my Dad won't listen to her.
I'm a good fashion designer, my love for fashion is topnotch. I also own a laundry store and a barbing store. I've been privileged to sew some clothes for comedian Buchi which he loves so much and he promised to patronize me again.
GOD in heaven knows how many lovely, mature and soft dress I've sew and bought for my father with my money. He only wears it once and won't wear it again, there are some he haven't put on at all. He celebrated his birthday August, I bought this nice shirt 18k for him as a gift. Till today he hasn't put it on.
Please note: money is not his problem. The other day he stopped by at my store, I and my boys were working. He noticed nobody was using one of my industrial machines. He asked and I said it was faulty. He said how much? I said 170k but I'll change it soon before January....(because I just wrapped my car from corolla to ES Lexus)....Before I could say Jack... Baba don send me 200k. I ordered the machine instantly.
See what happened this morning, He got an invitation to attend a meeting. The smartest way to dress for a highly regarded man like him is native wear. So he gave me this faded black trouser turning white to brush for him, that he wanted to wear it for the meeting...See eh, It was so annoying. I went to his room gathered the nice, starched and ironed native I could gather and I told him to select one, that I won't brush that faded trouser. He started saying ... " I'm proving stubborn and all manner things"... I'm sure our tenants could hear our argument.
Please Nairalanders. What can I do to make my Dad dress well. I plan to set fire on those faded and worn out clothes but it will look so disrespectful. I'm sure his friends have accepted his mode of dressing. My siblings and I are tired of complaining.
Please I need an advice!!!
Has his mode of dressing hindered his success in any way ? Why are you more bereaved than the person himself , please face your life and leave your dad
I let my feelings known to her telling her how much I love her but unfortunately, the love is unrequited. She told me she's not ready for a relationship due to some personal reasons. I so much feel heartbroken right now. We move!
Toks2008: I decide to drop this after reading a condescending post about a mother of 3 that just got married to a popular fuji artiste and i implore everyone to read this with an open mind.
Polygamy may not be appropriate for everyone but it remains a viable option for certain groups. Polygamy in Islam is a norm and there is no part in the Bible that forbids it or tags it a sin but rather it is Permissible just as GOD permits Divorce.
The concept of Polygamy is not about Men having many wives but it is geared towards ensuring that every lady who wants to get married can easily have a husband thereby curbing the act of sexual immorality.
Sometimes what may seem inappropriate may be an ideal option and talking about polygamy, i will strongly advise the following group of ladies to give it a thorough consideration.
1. THE WIDOW/DIVORCEE: Except a lady is still very young at the time she lost her husband or got divorced and she has no kids then she just might be fortunate to easily get a single guy who would love to marry her but as we know, many widows and divorcees are usually with kids and of age which makes them more appealing to married men rather than single guys who would prefer to go for young never married ladies. So If you are in this group, stop bothering your head hoping for a single guy except you just want to be toyed with. Consider marrying a married man who is willing to love and care for you.
2. THE NEVER MARRIED LADIES IN THEIR 40s: Many ladies in this group usually have this hope that there just might be one single guy who will be willing to settle down with them AND YES it is very possible just that the chances of this happening is very low. Most guys usually get married in their 30s and except they see a divorcee or a widower then they just might be lucky but unfortunately, even the widower or divorcee will still most likely prefer to go for far younger ladies which makes it even more difficult to come across single guys. My candid advise for this group of ladies is to get a responsible man to settle with regardless of his marital status.
3. THE NEVER MARRIED SINGLE MUMS: I have so many single mums as friends and the common mind-set they still have is that there is one single guy out there who will gladly marry them and some of them have remained celibate for years because according to them, they don't want to marry a married man and they are scared of single guys.... I think it just doesn't make any sense to continue hoping for one single guy to leave millions of ladies without kids to marry you. In most cases, this set of ladies get used by single men who just want to catch cruise with them. If you belong to this group please consider settling down with one responsible married man and avoid getting used by fvk boys in the name of looking for a single guy to marry.
4. THE IMPATIENT MONEY LOVERS/GOLD PICKERS: I honestly see nothing wrong in wanting a made guy after all, everyone has the right to make a choice but the problem i have with this set of ladies is when they put so much demand on a young progressive guy to provide what he can't. Wealth is progressive and except a man is very lucky to make huge money in his early age, I strongly believe that the best bet is for such a lady to look for one rich married man to marry because in most cases, it is men who are married and advanced in age that will be able to provide the type of life style this group of ladies desire .
5. THE UNLUCKY ONES: This group of ladies cut across all ages. They are just unlucky with single guys. They have tried many relationships with single men but they are just so unfortunate and they are totally fed up. My advice to them is to consider polygamy as there are many married men out there who will be willing to marry them and make them happy for as long as they live. It just doesn't make any sense to settle for a jerk just because you want a single man for yourself when there are super responsible married men ready to treat you like a queen.
6.THE SUGAR BABIES: This group of ladies are usually very young and to them, it is ok to date married men or sugar daddies who can take care of them but when it comes to marriage, it is a taboo for them to marry such men. I honestly do not understand how a lady will be having sexual relationship with a married man, enjoy the lavish lifestyle he provides but will find it difficult to marry same man and the worst twist is that in most cases, even after this set of ladies get married, they still linger in the relationship with their sugar daddies. No be juju be dat?
Make i stop here
Which group of men should consider polyandry Waiting for the list
Sammydanny: Recently, the budding Nigerian rapper and BBNaija winner, Laycon and his music colleague, Joeboy, got their many fans entertained online with their humble display.
The celebrity musicians who can boast of very large fan bases put their airs aside to dine like regular people.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Joeboy and Laycon were spotted sitting cross-legged on the floor as they prepared to ‘demolish’ a bowl of eba and vegetable soup.

Ndlistic: OAU MBA Student Death, 12 More Facts Emerge - Vanguard For The Truth Foundation
12 more facts have emerged on the case of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife MBA student, Timothy Adegoke Oludare whose disappearance and eventual death has been generating a lot of controversies in the past couple of days and has led to the arrest of the owner and 6 staff of the hotel where he allegedly lodged before his disappearance.
Aderibigbe Adekunle of the Vanguard for Truth Foundation, a non-governmental organisation made it known that;
1. There are indications that there are some new revelations about some of accusations made against the Ife-born educationist and business man especially by the brother of the deceased who has been going all over various media to accuse the hotelier of using his brother for rituals
2. It was gathered that the initial denial of the hotel management as to whether Adegoke lodged with them was because there was no record of any payment by him in the Hotel’s account, but it was later that it was detected that he made payment into the personal account of the receptionist which normally is wrong.
3. Another fact discovered during the investigations was that the hotel had operated for less than 2 years and had never recorded any death as the public was led to believe by the deceased brother.
4. Also, the lady receptionist who was recently employed by the hotel is on a salary of twenty-five thousand naira (N25,000) and not two hundred thousand naira (N200,000) as being spread in some media
5. It was discovered that the person called Alfa which could be misinterpreted as an Islamic cleric and possibly a spiritualist or ritualist is actually a plumber and maintenance manager in the hotel and is neither a cleric nor a ritualist.
6. As a very busy person, Dr. Adedoyin is not personally involved in the day-to-day running of the hotel in question as he has other more important businesses which include
5 tertiary institutions within and outside Nigeria, security outfit, publishing and hospitality business. 7. It was also found out that Adedoyin did not become rich overnight like many wealthy Nigerians, but has been in the business of education for more than 40 years starting as home lesson teacher, owner of tutorial college, a private polytechnic, and a university before venturing into the hotel business.
8. From investigations on the fees and population of Oduduwa University alone, Adedoyin obviously makes money aside from universities owned by him in the USA and Ghana where they pay in dollars and many other businesses and investments that have good returns, so he does not need any ritual.
9. It was also discovered that Dr Adedoyin is a devout Muslim who has performed holy pilgrimage to Mecca and Jerusalem several times. He has also greatly contributed to the development of Ife land and Osun State
10. Contrary to the claim that the exhumed Timothy’s corpse was mutilated, the whole body parts were intact and the autopsy being conducted was to discover the cause of death.
11. A fact being overlooked by many is that according to the earlier statement by the wife, the deceased was sick when he left home, and that was one of the reasons the wife kept checking on him by phone calls.
12. Also, Timothy’s elder brother openly threatened to tarnish and destroy Adedoyin’s name and his businesses and has been doing just that, on different social media platforms to drag Oduduwa University into a matter that happened at a hotel.
LordReed: Ok let us add some more scenarios. What if you die and find out the true god was all the gods of your forefathers that you discarded? What if when you die the true god is a god you never heard of? What if when you die there is no true god but everybody goes to their own version of heaven? We can sit here and imagine all manner of scenarios but until you can show me a reliable method of knowing what is true after you die, you are in no better position than I am.
The Bible let us know that it is a person who choose to says in their hearts that there is no God
But that is actually not what their heart is saying because God truly placed eternity in the hearts of everyone
So the heart of all those who keep saying in their hearts that there is no God what their heart is really saying to them is there is truly eternity somewhere
Psalm 14:1 ► For the director of music. Of David. The simpleton says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
New Living Translation Only simpleton say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
Ecclesiastes 3:11 ► He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
New Living Translation Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.

Methuselah tree ko , Methuselah rock ni , naming anything by Methuselah doesn't prove Methuselah existed or all other fairy tales in the Bible , which writings validated his longevity
