If this is true it would be absolutely amazing, but I'm not sure it is....
The article mentions 2 people who are/were 163 and 171 apparently

The proven limit of 122 years would have seemed incredible at one time.

I've certainly made no suggestion this should be accepted as fact, but either way it doesn't change the fact that there are very many people on DS who seem to take great delight in immediately denouncing something as untrue based seemingly on the fact that they said so.

Suspect he's using his father's or grandfather's ID documents and passing them off as his own. Probably the family involved, hoping to get some cash from the press.

Lots of elderly people are ready and waiting to die, when you've lost all your close people/family before you get there I can imagine life gets a bit lonely.

If it's true, it'd be interesting to see what his diet consists of.

Perhaps he doubles-up as that deposed Nigerian prince called Fortuitous Goodluck who keeps emailing me wanting to rest $25,000,000 in my bank account for just a few days? PS. I'm currently selling a very limited quantity of magic beans. Contact me privately if you'd like to buy them... Quote:
Not only that but automatically calling you a liar or fantasist if you post anything anecdotal.
Do you understand why people who claim to have been abducted by aliens or were Napoleon in a previous live are seldom believed? Conversely, you can post on these forums that you've heard a "rumour" (in other words, you just made it up) that a celebrity is gay or is a nasty person in real life, or was born a man and it's just mindlessly accepted and repeated. |

No, when you post something that doesn't sound credible based upon anecdotal evidence.

Nothing is accepted as credible for some.
For normal people, it may sound credible that Simon Cowell secretly dyes his hair whilst labelling the claim by a Nigerian that he is 171-years-old as hokum. What's wrong with that? It's what used to be called common sense in the pre-millennial era. |

At the risk of sounding like a Millennial's sterotypical racist social injustice warrior kind of thing, I'd like to think that if you applied for a British passport and sent your grandfather's birth certificate as proof of the date you wrote on the form, Our boys & gals in the Passport Office would throw your application out like a nutter during the first round of Britain's Got Talent. Whereas their counterparts in Malaysian offices... ??? Mind you, it makes me wonder what would happen if this person travelled into the UK on that passport. Would our border control people in airports just let him go through either because they were obliged to trust the passport or because he was too old to be a dodgepot. Or would they notice the date and detain hum until the matter was fully investigated by authorities in both countries? And that's before you contemplate the same situation for the 171 year old Nigerian. |

Actually, if he really is that old, it would be very interesting if his DNA etc could be examined after he does eventually die, to see what it might reveal about longevity.

Why do we never hear of anyone in the UK living this long?

The Nigerian is only 171?
Meh. I know a bloke who is 324 - he smokes 120 Capstan Full Strength and drinks a bottle of whiskey a day. Buses don't run him down he runs them down. |
