Did you find what you where thinking?

If TINUBU real age is used, our President may have topped the list.

Meaning you didn’t find the name you where looking for?

The first poster said it all.

Most of them listed here are monarchs and self acclaimed leaders (despots). Only few were democratically elected.

But even at thier age, they are more active and strong than the Nigerian man who birthed his first daughter at the age of 10.

You just got paid……….lol

Tinubu of Nigeria is 98 years old. Know this and have peace.

This I have seen.

If not for 'football' age,we know those that will top the list.

Some have football age, they now use affidavit of age declaration because they have voluntarily destroyed their original birth certificate that contain their real age

Africans always taking first from the negative side

Tinubu should be 84yrs old now but football age

Hey you, yes you

Comment that name you're looking for.

He is in pain because he didn't see Tinubu's name on the list.

LagosOrigin:

AustineE1:

Without opening thread I know Africa will top the list.

OP. Mostly Presidents who don't actually have executive powers in their respective countries.

Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar are too old to handle a complex country like Nigeria.

Paul Biya that was reminded he was in front of USA delegation, busy farting upandan
