Apparently the oldest human being isn’t from Japan after all, a Nigerian granny is unofficially the world’s oldest person.
112-year old great grandfather Yasutaro Koide from Japan holds Guinness record for the world’s oldest person.
But a Nigerian family claims their great granny Mama Esifiho is 191 years old! The granny lives in Delta State of Nigeria in a rural village.
The community which Mama comes from mostly consume on cassava which Mama’s family says was the reason why she has lived for so long.
Until folks from Guinness Records can verify Mama is 191, Yasutaro Koide will retain the title world’s oldest person.
