The world’s oldest living person Misao Okawa from Japan is about to turn 117 – and puts her long life down to eating sushi, getting eight hours sleep a night and relaxing. The woman is now a mother of three, grandma of four and great-grand mother of six.</div>

116-year-old Gertrude Weaver of the U.S. cited three factors for her longevity, <em>“Trusting in the Lord, hard work and loving everybody. You have to follow God. Don’t follow anyone else.

Sakari Momoi, 112, the world’s oldest living man, says, “<em>I do not know the secret of my long life.

At 115 years and nearly three months, Emma Morano is the oldest person in Europe, the fifth oldest in the world and one of only a handful of people whose lives have straddled three centuries.

Jessie Gallan, 109, the oldest woman in Scotland, UK, says, <em>“My secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They’re just more trouble than they’re worth.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
If I am elected president of Nigeria, the first thing I
would do is ban all form of religion (including state sponsorship of religious
pilgrimages to ‘holy lands’) but I would encourage spirituality. I would ban
ethnic and tribal discrimination, ban quota system, all you need to show is
that you are a Nigerian and you would get that job or admission into university
simply on merit ( no more ‘Place of origin’ on application forms). I would ban
GENERATORS!!!  We would all sit in hot darkness
till we find a solution to our power problem. I would fund research institutes
and sponsor our young people (believe me Nigerians have the best), we will find
Utopia within a short time. I would end capital punishment but introduce public
floggings followed by life imprisonment without the remotest possibility of
parole for offences like corruption, rape, nepotism, child marriage and
election rigging! Under my watch teachers will be the highest paid (N200k
starting salary with full welfare package) while politicians will work bro
bono!  I will ban all importation
(including Brazilian, Spanish and Indian hair) and our motto shall become ‘IF
WE DON’T MAKE IT, WE DON’T NEED IT!’ I will provide free and COMPULSORY
education to all Nigerians, make history a compulsory subject from nursery school as well as civil education aka good manners; and if a child is seen hawking during school hours,
the guardian of such a child would be flogged publicly with peppered koboko and
sentenced to listen to Femi Fani Kayode 24/7, for the rest of their life.  I would make health care free for all
Nigerians. Under my watch, Nigerian  women would be accorded high regard and
respect, violence against women will be forbidden and any man who abuses a woman,
howsoever, will be sentenced to public flogging and banished to Sambisa forest.
 Finally, I would declare a DR STELLA ADADEVO
day to celebrate the Nigerian, heroism and sacrifice; and to remind us all of the value of altruism
in nation building. So do I have your vote? If there are other pressing needs you would like me to consider as your president, please send your requests. Long live Nigeria! One nation under a groove!</div>

<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">COL OLUSEGUN EBENEZER
CRAIG – RIP</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">On the
morning of 22<sup>nd</sup> October 2014, his 76<sup>th</sup> birthday my father
telephoned me and when I saw his number I thought, <i>I should be the one doing the calling</i>, in any case I answered the
call and he said ‘pray for me’ to which I spluttered out a prayer and a
birthday wish but before I could enquire further of him he abruptly ended the
conversation with a promise that we would have a chat later in the evening. I
had a sense that he was in a hurry. Four hours later he had passed on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">You can
imagine my shock. He was not ill, he was looking forward to a dinner party with
family and friends later that evening; the cooking and other celebrations were
on-going when death came calling. The family was stunned; none of us saw this
coming. The futility of life!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">As the shock
wore off I began to look on the bright side, he lived a fulfilled life, he was
active to the end with full faculty of body and mind, had many friends and
associates. At 76, one could also say he lived to old age, (perhaps not ripe
enough) he was a father and grandfather.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">For me it
was a double </span><span style="line-height: 21.4666652679443px;">whammy</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> because I had lost my mother the previous year and I never thought I would be involved in planning yet another funeral so soon. My parents
were childhood sweethearts and I believe they are now together, I hope they are
happy now, that for me is the only consolation, my coping mechanism!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">The death of
my dad has made me reappraise my life, my whole existence and life purpose, because now I know first-hand, more than most people, that death can come at
any time, regardless of your status, age or circumstances, death cares less! In
the aftermath of my dad’s death we had to decide where to bury him, what kind
of burial service, what to bury him in etc. The irony was not lost on me
because my dad was a simple person who would have wanted none of the fuss, he
would have wanted a very simple burial. I know he would have turned in his
morgue cabinet at the expense we were going to in order to give him a befitting
send off. He would have preferred instead, that we set up an endowment fund in
his memory, with the amount of resources expended for his funeral. Yet I think he would
have been grateful for the outpouring of love from his family, friends and
associates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">The finality
of death is so absolute. Words forever unspoken, hugs never to be shared again,
even disagreements, quarrels and subsequent </span><span style="line-height: 21.4666652679443px;">reconciliation</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">  are never to be had again,  an abrupt end to  memory making!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"> As I looked at my dad’s body at the morgue, I
felt an overwhelming feeling of peace, for him and for myself, because he
looked as though he was asleep and could rise at my prompting, but then it
dawned on me that he was asleep never to rise up again in this existence.
Memories of my dad with shaving cream on his face came to my mind, memories of
him fussing on what not to have for breakfast, (he was very health conscious)
memories of us sitting on his bed, chatting till the early hours of the
morning, memories of us walking and me yelling for him to slow down for me to
catch up and memories of him calling out to my daughter from the gate
downstairs and my daughter calling back ‘grandpa!’ I was jolted into the moment
by my cousin, Bolaji, who had accompanied me to see my dad’s body, we said a
prayer and he led me gently outside into the waiting car where I was engulfed
in silence all the way home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Having seen
his lifeless body and indeed confirmed to myself that my dad was indeed no
more, the realization hit me that he had finished his race here on earth and
that as his first child the baton has now been handed over to me, I must
continue the race, God help me. I choose to continue this race with gratitude,
love, understanding, forgiveness and benevolence, I choose to overlook the
mundane things and focus on what really matters in the final analysis, what really matters when we each answer the
call is the legacy we leave behind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><i><b>To the numerous relatives, friends, colleagues and sympathizers who rallied round my family to
ensure a befitting burial for my dad, a big thank you!  <o:p></o:p></b></i></span></div>
<i><b><br /></b></i>
