This Nigerian man shows off his 195-year-old grandfather,said to the Oldest Living Person In The World (Photos)

 In a story that's leaving jaws on the floor and sparking global curiosity, a young Nigerian man has taken the internet by storm after sharing photos of his grandfather — a man he claims is 195 years old!

Yes, you read that right — 195 years.

The elderly man, wrapped in traditional attire and seated gracefully in the photos, has been described as mentally alert, spiritually grounded, and incredibly wise. According to the grandson, his great-grandfather (or perhaps great-great-grandfather?) was born in 1830, long before Nigeria became a British colony.

> “My grandfather has witnessed seven generations and still remembers details from the days of colonial rule,” the man wrote in his viral post.

Internet Reacts: Shock, Awe, and Skepticism

As expected, the internet exploded. Some people expressed awe, calling the old man a "living relic of history," while others — especially skeptics — are demanding a birth certificate or at least some verified documentation.

Still, many have flooded the comment section with prayers, blessings, and amazement, with some hailing him as a national treasure.

> “Whether it’s fully verifiable or not, this is still incredibly heartwarming. He looks so peaceful,” one commenter wrote.

Local Belief or Medical Miracle?

In some Nigerian communities, oral history is a strong part of heritage. Many elders don’t have birth records but are known by the generations they’ve witnessed. While 195 years might sound impossible by modern standards, locals believe the man’s age is genuine, thanks to a life of natural food, spiritual practices, and little to no exposure to modern-day stress.

Could he truly be the oldest living person in the world?

If his age is confirmed, it would shatter the official Guinness World Record — currently held by Maria Branyas Morera, a Spanish woman born in 1907.
