An old Nigerian woman has been celebrated in Ibadan, Oyo state. The woman who lives in Ibadan is said to be 143 years old. A video of the 143-year-old woman is currently making rounds on social media.
The old woman was visited by Nigerian philanthropist, Adepeji Olukokun. The philanthropist, who is known for helping less-privileged Nigerians in different states, visited her in an attempt to give back to the community.
Olukokun often helps the community by sharing money or food for people who are in need of help.
In a video shared on Olukokun's Instagram page, the philanthropist was seen giving the woman a sum of money, revealing that he gave her N5,000. He also had a conversation with her to find out how she has been living.
