Obasanjo Reveals Key To Celebrating Over A Century Of Life

Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, claimed that putting an emphasis on rest, exercising for an hour every day, and eating two meals a day would extend a person’s life.

He said this on Saturday in Osogbo, Osun State, during the book launch honoring Olatunde Badmus, the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo, and Delta states, on his 80th birthday.

Obasanjo, who was represented at the event by the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, offered tips to the octogenarians on how to live longer.

In a speech read on his behalf by Adeleke, Obasanjo noted Badmus’s leadership roles in business and other spheres of life

“By every standard, you are successful in all your endeavours. Your leadership roles in all the businesses you undertook are impressive. In business and outside business, you always make God your partner.

“At the age of 80, let me welcome you to this club. Let me read the rules of the club to you. Number one, your father and mother must not be alive, you must sleep for eight hours every day, you must undertake one hour of daily exercise like walking, and you must eat only twice a day.

“With obedience to these rules, your admission is registered and your longevity beyond 90 years is assured,” he said.
