"Addwaitya", an Aldabra tortoise, is believed to have lived for 250 years, before his death, on 24th March, 2006, at Kolkata zoo in Calcutta (www.discoverychannel.ca). Presently however, Harriet has been eyed since November 2005 as the intending world oldest animal. She was believed to have been picked up on Galapagos by Darwin and taken to England. She was believed then (2005) to have spent past 160 years in Australia. She is expected to celebrate her 175th birthday, next week, thus being revered as the oldest creature on earth.

But behold! In sub-saharan Africa exists a tortoise, nick named "Alagba". He is found existing in the West African region, precisely Nigeria. He lives in the palace of the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Oladunni Oyewumi (Ajagungbade III), in Oyo State. Alagba is believed to have lived up to 320 years. This though very doubtful, was confirmed by the King himself who said he knew the tortoise while he was a child-prince. He however has spent up to 32 years on the thrown and he is the twentieth King on the throne. Ogbomoso town was founded in mid 1600s(www.wikipedia.org).

While it was asked most sons of the soli that are aged now, nine out of every ten people knew of the existence of "Alagba" while growing up. Some even said they do go to the palace with their parents back then to look at the animal.


All we need are some doubting Archiologists to come and prove us right. You can contact me through this blog if interested or mail me at:dannyibk@yahoo.com

INDEED, THE OLDEST LIVING ANIMAL IS AFRICAN!!!

Today should be day two of exams in Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, but unfortunately, it is not. The last session of meeting and negotiations till yesterday even only confirmed that the strike still continues.

This is suppose to be the end of session exams despite the last three months strike action by the national body of ASUU. Worst of all is that the end of the strike is unpredictable as both sides seems to be unbent.

Meanwhile, the national body of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), renewed their request yesterday as they hinted the Federal Government of their intentions to take gross action of their demands are not met in few weeks.

What step in what direction is this strike action all about? We are just hoping that something good will happen soonest as a miracle. Or alternatively, we as the rearly considered and highly affected should take some aactions so as to help ourselves out.

The fate of Nigeria education will surely not be positive in these present hands.

Well my topic looks like you don't understand? This is it:Ladies I discover (in a hard way though), are pearls of enigma, thus they are meant to be carried with charisma. A guy could really be zealous, but not at the expense of that true solumate of yours. What is success if you don't have people so dearing to rejoice with you? It is obviously incomplete.

I'm not advocating for letting go your purposeful dreams 'cos of your social life (no such relationship is worth neglecting a purposeful pursuit), but the bitter sincerity is they could exceed their tolerance limit and lo! you might let go the very good hand.

Another side to this is that misplacement of priorities often occur when you are not with someone with whom your goal align. This often will poss alot of setbacks and many unresolved issues.

Whatever you do, long as you know the time to get committed to your partner will not be visible, you need not do it at all. So, if you're in one relationship now (guys in particular), please be very , very, serious with your partner. Ladies will always often need maximal attention so don't stifle them. That is often a major demand from them.

Remember, just as you felt you will be good together, some other guys like you are feeling the same and they might just provid the care she's dying for.

She would need you to tell her you love her very often, to be with her almost always, to send erotic text messages consistently, calls unluimited, show her off as your heart-throb to as many people around you as possible. In all to be 'ALWAYS' their.

I'm still trying to win her back as at this. Hey, don't pity me, I'm just paying the price of my negligence of the salient care she needed. So let me pay, 'cos I deserve it. I hope she yields.

You want to know my story? Then watch out!!!

Its good to go social sometimes. hope you enjoyed it.

The wonderful day when Nigeria could call herself a nation, is celebrated today. While we organize banquets, seminars, rallies, etc, let it stare clear in our minds that this freedom we thrive in today is the toil, labour, struggle, fight and even death of some heros.

Looking at where we are as a nation, we can not but reminiscence the crushing rule of the military. However, let us not bask too long in the dark story. We are a year older today, how we can as individauls, youth and even groups move the nation to its promise land, should be our focus. Let us not cry over spilled milk.

Your faith, strides, believes, initiatives, passion, vision, direction, are what this generation has been waiting for to have a complete reaction. While we also have our thriving ambitions, let us remember that the best way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.

Leave history, make history.

Because you live as a Nigerian gives me and alot of people hope that we can be better than what we are as a nation.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
