With the 324 years old tortoise. Throwback Thursday with @gee1

I with some other set of people pay a courtesy visit to the Soun of ogbomoso palace in ogbomoso Oyo State Nigeria back in 2009. In the palace, is the tortoise called baba(baba is used for elderly men). In 2009 it was age 324 and still alive till today with the age of 333years. Don't be surprised that the oldest tortoise in the world is less than this age.
I tried reaching out to the elders why the tortoise is not recognize as the oldest in the world. I realized that before they could agree with the age of the tortoise, they need to perform some test to know the actual age, which the Royal majesty never agree to such because they believe they must not hurt the originator of their town.

In the history of ogbomoso town it was the first monarch of the town who changed to the tortoise just to immortalise himself.
They believe the tortoise is their great grand father.

Aafin means palace.
Ogbomoso is a town in Nigeria.
Baba used for elderly men.

There are more to the history of this wonderful town.

Glad to participate in the throwbackthursday with @gee1.
