The world oldest man is believed to be 160 years old

He is said to be the oldest man alive as people think that he has between 160 and 170 years. Yet he’s still strong he can walk on his own, he can sit by himself and also share some stories loudly like anyone else. But how is this possible, how would someone have all those years, and still be breathing? He breaks the silence and reveals the secret to living a happy, stronger, and longer life. 

In his early years, he met a woman who then stole his heart, and they have been living together from that day up to now loving one another. They’ve been together for more than 100 years and other only death who do them apart. 

Michael is too old that he cannot even remember the year in which he was born, as during his time no one registered newborn babies. There was nothing like identity cards. One was born and they would make sure they know the season in which he was born, and that was it. That was a long time ago before his country was colonized. No one by then knew how to read and write, being the reason he’s one of the oldest people alive.

But despite being that old he can still walk by himself, and even sit by himself which proves how strong he is. During his time polygamy was common and that’s why he married four wives and produced 12 children. Though some of his children went on dying earlier. He says that our world has changed compared to nowadays as during his time there was nothing like jobs. There was nothing like money and all they did was barter trade, and the main activities were all about farming, agriculture, and keeping animals. Though everything has changed and the world is all about technology and more. He says he would prefer the old school life, who are people lived by hunting, fishing, and enjoying fruit and vegetables from the forest which is totally different from today’s world.

But time came and Europeans colonized his country and that’s why everything started changing. They introduced money and some job opportunities, and he was hired and given a job of finding and gathering some stones and other rocks. Which was the first job he ever did. I later changed and went to do another job.

During that time there were plenty of jobs and people did only jobs they liked. Unlike today where one is forced to do something, they don’t like it all due to money. He says that during that time Bukov city was being built and it looked nothing like it is today without such big buildings vehicles and more. It was in fact just a normal small village.

He recalls almost everything and says that during the introduction of whites they were so aggressive and fought against kings and kingdoms and thus when they killed King Kabulungu. The second wife is one of a few people who know the grandpa more than anyone else. They met a long time ago. He went to her house and paid the bride price and they started living together from that day up to now. They’ve been living together happily sharing whatever they have. They even shared some difficult moments like when losing their firstborn and the other three who died. They’ll always love one another as they did since the day they met. They cooperated and always strengthened one another in case of any problem.

They’re one of the oldest couples in the region. Having lived together for more than a hundred years and counting. He has a big family of more than 110 members his children grandchildren great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. No one knows how old he is. But according to his own stories, they think that he’s around 136 years of age.

 His firstborn died at 96 years of age the second also died but his third born is still alive at 81 years of age. He thinks that the secret to having lived a long life is having eaten meals rich in all food values before the industry started manufacturing.

And adding more chemicals that kill people slowly. He is believed to be sharp and stronger than most old men in the late 90’s. Time ago people used to say that the grandpa might be having around 150 years and that was years ago. If that is true then he might be having more than that around 160 or even 170 years.
