Mama Christiana Atoke Egberongbe, a 100-year-old Nigerian woman and one of the most devoted Guinness fans in the country, recently marked a major milestone — her centenary celebration — with heartfelt moments of joy, gratitude, and of course, her signature favorite drink, Guinness.
Born in the year 1925 in Ajegunle Village, located in present-day Ogun State, Mama Christy, as she is fondly called by family and friends, has lived through a century of history, transformation, and resilience. Over the years, she became known not only for her entrepreneurial spirit but also for her warmth and strength of character. She ran a thriving food vending business in Lagos, earning respect in her community and supporting generations of her family.
Now at 100 years old, Mama Christiana still carries the spark of youth in her eyes and an unshakable love for the iconic Guinness stout, a drink she has enjoyed responsibly for decades. Her remarkable story and loyalty to the brand caught the attention of Guinness Nigeria, who decided to honor her with a well-deserved celebration that matched her milestone achievement.
To commemorate her 100th birthday on July 24th, Guinness Nigeria delivered a beautifully curated birthday package straight to her doorstep. The package included a custom cake, branded Guinness merchandise, and a handpicked assortment of their classic and premium drinks — a gesture that brought immense joy to Mama and her family.
Two days later, on July 26th, a lively celebration was held in her honor, attended by children, grandchildren, neighbors, and well-wishers. The event was filled with prayers, traditional songs, laughter, shared memories, and lots of dancing. The highlight? Mama Christy, smiling radiantly, toasting to life with a chilled bottle of Guinness in hand — a powerful image of strength, joy, and timeless loyalty.
As the story made its way to social media, thousands of users were captivated by Mama Christy’s charm and energy, especially considering her age. Many praised her strength and consistency, with some humorously suggesting that Guinness might just be the secret to a long life.
