The
Nigerian family gathered to honor Gbemisola Allison Sonoiki. Included
in the celebration of this milestone were her four children, seven
grandchildren, and great-granddaughter.
Sonoiki’s fourth grandchild, Omobolanle, says she is a very special person: “She’s really caring and puts all of
us first before herself. She’d sacrifice anything, even to her comfort
at this age, for us.”

In addition to her birthday, she is celebrating nearly six decades of marriage.
“I like that her and my grandpa are friends; they’re close in age as he’s 82. Always fighting and making up,” says Omobolanle.

Her granddaughter says that Sonoiki’s secret to staying young might be that she maintains an active lifestyle.
“She
still visits friends and has a store she goes to about thrice in a week
for physical activity purposes. Goes to the mosque every Friday too,”
says Omobolanle.
Sonoiki
also takes good care of her skin — “I know she uses a lot of shea
butter, and that’s basically her skin care routine” — and watches what
she eats: “She doesn’t eat much, too. Never been big on food.”
Whatever is Sonoiki’s secret, it is definitely working.
When
her granddaughter told her that she had gone viral, “she just laughed
about it and said, well, she can’t see it, but she hopes her grandkids
live that long and look young too,” says Omobolanle.
