According to the Guinness Book of World Records, 112-year old Yasutaro Koide from Japan is the world’s oldest person. However, they should check their records after photos have surfaced online showing a Nigerian woman named Mama Esifiho who claims that she is 191 years old!
This Claim is according to her great great grandson Mr. Avuefeyen, According to him, the woman who is about two centuries old ‘lives in Ellu (Edhemoko, Akaluba Street, Ellu in INLG).
Ellu is an Isoko, countryside community in Delta State of Nigeria that was founded around the 18th century.
The crop, Cassava, is the main foods consumed by Isoko people where Mama Efisho is from. Even though we are still waiting confirmation of her true age, what she eats probably explains her long life.
Cassava is loaded with magnesium and copper. A diet rich in magnesium promotes life-long health, lowering your blood pressure and reducing your risk of osteoporosis. While a diet rich in copper helps support healthy nerve function. A cup of cassava contains 23 percent of the copper you need each day, determined by the Institute of Medicine.
Each cup of cassava contains as well as 42 milligrams of vitamin E. This amount contributes 56 and 47 percent towards the daily vitamin C intake recommendations for women and men, set by the Institute of Medicine.
Cassava also has nearly 20 percent of your daily intake of folate. Including more folate in your diet protects against colon cancer and reduces the risk of complications during pregnancy and offers protection against coronary heart disease.
While questioning the validity of Mama’s birth, Mr. Avufeyen claimed that that she witnessed the birth of his grandfather.
If his claims are true then, Mama Efisho is not only Nigeria’s oldest woman alive, she will be the oldest woman alive anywhere.
This information comes right after civil servants in Brazil reported they have discovered the world’s oldest person – a 131-year-old father-of-three living with a wife 69 years his junior.
The Guinness Book of Records recognizes 112-year-old Yasutaro Koide from Japan as the oldest person alive.
And Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, who died aged 122 in 1997, held the record for the world’s longest living person.
That is until social services sent a picture of the man along side his birth certificate that said he was born in 1884.
Dear Nigerian Authorities someone should help verify her Claims so she can be Featured inside the Guinness Book Of Record.
KJV Genesis 6:3
3 And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Its biblically impossible unless we are to disqualify the Word
The probably miscounted, how did the know? Ain’t no birth certificate then
We thank God for your life mama.Why ‘re people saying it’s a lie.So Nigerians ‘ll accept any thing except it’s not from Nigeria.This country needs national spiritual rebirth or call it national deliverance for both leaders n followers.How can people that don’t believe in themselves succeed economically,socially n politically.
Nigerian can fabricate very wel ….its not true.
God bless ur age
She is not the oldest person. There is a woman in Kumasi who is 203 years old
O di egwu
Chrisken Onyemaechi in which year was she born.
Lie lie lies lies lies lies !!!!
not possible to 191, can be possible for 123 but the oldest woman ever died at 122 years
dont be stupid, a black woman hold the GBR for the oldest person ever liveth died at age of 122 and also a black woman still hold the record of oldest living person at age 116, that woman is not even up to 91 years, let her bring proof like others did
she is not even 91 years
please cut the crap.. there are fossils of dinosaurs but this woman is not up to 90 years,
The writer of this article could not convince me of this claim.
Let me ask this questions;
1 How old is the person claiming that this old woman saw or witnessed his grand fathers birth?
2. Is this old woman having children and how old are the children or grand children so that the claim of this writer can be measured from their ages
3. A generation is assumed to 100 years, are we saying that nobody is that village of Ellu that can confirm that the woman has lived for two generations now?
4. Is the writer promoting the consumption of cassava? When he/she says each cup of cassava contains 42 miligrams of vitamin E, Which product of the cassava should the cup be measured from; is it the raw cassava that is blended, from garri, starch, cassava fufu or tapioca?
I rest my case
Not true. It can’t b
