I want to say a very big happy birthday to myself and to every single person born on this special day February 29, it is a special day and we are special. Let's quickly look at some fun facts about February 29.
1. Babies born on 29 February are known as "leapers" or "leaplings".
2. The only notable person known to have both been born and died on February 29 was Sir James Wilson (1812–1880), Premier of Tasmania.
3. The odds of being born on a leap day are 1 in 1500 according to the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies.
4. Karin Henriksen of Norway gave birth to three children on consecutive February 29ths – a daughter in 1960 and two sons in 1964 and 1968.
5. The Keogh family of Ireland and the UK saw a one generation born on February 29 1940, his son born on the same date in 1964 and a granddaughter arrive on the 29 in 1996.

6. The European Football Championship and summer Olympic Games always fall in leap years, happening as they do every four years.
7. Famous rapper/actor jarule was born in February 29 1976
8. Our very own Korede Bello was equally born on the 29 of February 1996

The worst jokes I hear about being born on February 29 is about our "Real" age or if we get older every year or do we celebrate our birthday every year. I know everybody would have a contrary opinion but of course we get older every year, we can celebrate our birthday every year if you choose to, either on February 28 or March 1st depending on your choice. Personally, I choose February 28 since it still falls in February.

So if your birthday is today, pls come in, if not pls wish us a happy birthday. No disparaging comments nairalanders, cos I know a lot of us have opinions about this day and people born on this day.
Lalasticlala, pls celebrate with us. Thanks
