Abuja Based World’s Oldest Person Gives Secrets Of Her Long Life At 126

Sefi Oyeyemi, a Nigerian woman, who was born in Abuja in 1896 has shared her secret to long life, stating that it has to do with frequent cleaning of her blood vessel.

She lived through both World Wars and saw tens of politicians lead the country. She is listed as the world’s oldest living person in the Nigerian Book of Records, having turned 126 on March 14. Sefi outlived not only her peers, but also many of their children.

This great-great-grandmother is subjected to medical examinations on a regular basis. Every year, the doctors say the same thing: she’s as healthy as a horse, and she could outrun astronauts in that department.

Despite such a long life, Sefi Oyeyemi rarely left her countryside home and always refused whenever her children would offer to move her to the city. Her children were, naturally, concerned about leaving a woman of such age alone. But Sefi couldn’t care less about her age.

Sefi Oyeyemi lives in a large wooden house, which was built by her late husband. The elderly woman takes care of the residence. Besides that she also has a 10 acre garden the entirety of which she cultivates annually. Sefi also cares for a brood of hens and her goat, Molly. And surprisingly, the old woman has enough energy for all of this.

Revealing the secret behind her longevity, Sefi said:

It’s all about clean blood vessels. My dear old friend Ben told me that, back before the war. Ben lived here, he was a herbalist. All the folks from all around would come to him for help, people came even from neighboring towns. But then he got drafted into the army to fight in the war and never came back… We used to be neighbors. He would come over in the evenings usually for tea and we would chat. It was he who told us how to help with pain in this or that part of the body. I had a sister back then. She had some issues with her health. My parents cleaned her blood vessels and subsequently she got better. Ever since then we’ve been sure that clean vessels are the key to excellent health and our whole family would have them cleaned regularly. Unfortunately both our parents died in a tragic accident in 1987. And my sister also lived for a long time, but less than me. She died when she was 95. I also made sure all my kids knew the importance of keeping their vessels clean.

Therefore, the secret of longevity lies in the vessels; they need to be cleaned from time to time. But nobody does that, that’s why they die early. This is especially true for the elderly that reside in cities. They love to take loads of pills and think that they will help them. When I visited my granddaughter in Abuja, I was very surprised by this. People are only 60 but they’re all ill. That’s pills for you – nothing but toxic chemicals. But if they cleaned their vessels, they would be healthy and active, just like me.
