[ad_1] On our arrival in Nigeria's self-proclaimed capital of twins to research the proliferation of a number of births within the small rural city of Igbo-Ora, we're greeted by the information that a lady has simply delivered a wholesome pair of infants on the native clinic.Their mom is a twin - her twin brother is within the ward taking images of the brand new arrivals, his nephew and niece. Surrounding the mattress are the infants' grandmother, who's herself a twin, and their great-grandmother, who has given start to 2 units of twins."That is how we do it right here. We give start to twins. It makes our city particular," the five-hour-old twins' grandmother tells the BBC."It makes us proud and we love them. We love our twins. They bring about us success," she says."Persons are disillusioned if they do not give start to twins."It's true that Igbo-Ora, in south-western Nigeria, seems to have a higher-than-usual variety of twins - strolling by the city it's simple to identify youthful units of twins, who are likely to put on matching garments.The worldwide common start price for twins is round 12 per 1,000 births, however in Igbo-Ora it's reported to be about 45 per 1,000.In Yoruba tradition, which predominates within the south-west of the nation, twins are a blessing and their names are predestined.Twins are sometimes wearing matching outfits and the older sibling known as Taiwo and the youthful Kehinde (AFP)Regardless of gender, the older twin known as Taiwo, which means "the one which exams the world", the youthful known as Kehinde, which means "the one which got here after".The following day, at Igbo-Ora's highschool we discover out that these names are likely to dominate roll-call. After we ask a bunch of round 1,500 college students throughout morning meeting to boost their hand if they're a twin, or have a twin within the household, practically everybody's arm shoots up.So why are there so many twins within the space?In response to oral folklore, the village was based within the 14th Century by an exiled prince of the Oyo Kingdom, who was advised to make particular choices to the Yoruba gods in pairs and in return, the village was blessed with twins.Many locals although put their fertility all the way down to a dish referred to as "ilasa", produced from okra leaves. These spinach-like leaves are added to a pot of boiling water together with salt and spices, locust beans and melon seeds.The rationale behind Igbo-Ora's a number of births is a real topic of examine in Nigeria.Solely a minority of the twins born in Igbo-Ora are an identical - when one egg is fertilised after which divides.The bulk are non-identical, which means a number of eggs are launched and fertilised on the identical time.Researchers are investigating whether or not pure chemical substances within the native meals, like ilasa or maybe even the native yams, may make ladies produce a number of eggs.Prof Akinola Kehinde Akinlabi, rector of the Oyo State Faculty of Agriculture and Know-how based mostly in Igbo-Ora, thinks genetics could have extra to do with it.The tutorial, who's himself a twin - and father of twins, says somebody born a twin in these elements is not going to discover it exhausting to discover a spouse or husband."Twins are honored nearly as deities who convey luck and safety. Individuals current twins and their households with items, cash and provides of assist. All that encourages folks to marry these from twin-producing households," he tells the BBC.The normal ruler of the city, often known as an oba, is eagerly awaiting the outcomes of scientific research.Jimoh Olajide hopes that in a rustic with a love of setting Guinness World Information, Igbo-Ora will quickly be formally recognised for its phenomenal fertility - given practically each residence on the town has at the very least one set of twins."My imaginative and prescient for this city is to see us holding the world report for highest a number of births in the entire world," says Oba Olajide, who's after all a father of twins."Issues that can observe will probably be tourism, inns."With this in thoughts, the city launched an annual worldwide twin competition a number of years in the past.Prof Akinlabi hopes the deal with twins may also result in funding for the broader neighborhood to sort out issues like its poorly outfitted and previous well being centres.Such is the standing of twins that regardless of the adoption of Islam and Christianity on this space the standard Yoruba worship of them remains to be prevalent.Kehinde Adeleke, our native information and a youthful twin, takes us to witness a ritual providing, together with palm wine and beans, to the dual gods at a shrine in her household's neighborhood."I really feel specifically blessed as a twin," says Ms Adeleke who has two youngsters, however no a number of births as but."I will probably be disillusioned if I haven't got twins - it is the twins I want," she admits amid the drumming and singing on the ceremony.These collectible figurines signify the dual deities at a conventional shrine in Igbo-Ora (BBC/Alex Final)Such attitudes had been an entire anathema for some members of the minority Bassa-Komo neighborhood close to the capital, Abuja. Twins for them have been a supply of worry.Within the mid-Nineties, Nigerian missionary Olusola Stevens heard the villagers on this distant and poorly developed space thought twins had been evil and that they had been mysteriously dying.Such beliefs weren't exceptional in Nigeria - particularly within the south-east of the nation the place completely different communities as soon as killed twins, although such practices ended way back.Pastor Stevens, based mostly in Gwagwalada, about 600km (500 miles) north-east of Igbo-Ora, determined to research."We began going from neighborhood to neighborhood asking: 'The place are the twins?' The conventional response was that the gods had killed them. The truth is in some instances, the mom wouldn't breastfeed them in order that they died naturally," he says.The missionary discovered that typically the infants can be given a plant concoction that stopped them gaining weight.The Vine Heritage Residence orphanage in Gwagwalada is at the moment caring for round 200 youngsters (Peter MacJob/BBC)It's not clear precisely why such youngsters had been considered unhealthy luck, however it might be that previously they had been linked to deprivation and elevated danger of maternal mortality.Pastor Stevens and his workforce started rescuing these youngsters and arrange The Vine Heritage Residence orphanage, which at the moment takes care of round 200 youngsters.To vary attitudes, they started by offering villages with medical care, and wells to entry clear water.The orphanage additionally works with the charity Motion Assist on an outreach programme funded by the European Union, whereas the federal government has additionally run a giant consciousness initiative.Because of this, many from the Bassa-Komo neighborhood now hold their twins, but when mother and father are nonetheless fearful or in hassle, they hand the youngsters over to the orphanage - and go to go to them there.The truth is, 27 of the youngsters have grown up and accepted invites to return to reside of their household's village - although it's not all the time a straightforward choice for them."The primary time I noticed my organic father was after I turned 18 - I used to be indignant as a result of he deserted me," says Olufemi Stevens, recognized by his nickname "Surprise Boy".Olufemi "Surprise Boy" Stevens says by going again residence he confirmed his village he was not evil (BBC/Peter MacJob)He grew up within the orphanage after his mom died in childbirth, however is happy he was courageous sufficient to go residence: "After they noticed me they got here to understand these youngsters are usually not evil."And after I went again I used to be amazed to see some twins with their very own mum.

Nigerian city celebrates its many twins with annual festival

By SUNDAY ALAMBA and CHINEDU ASADU today

IGBO-ORA, Nigeria (AP) — Twins appear to be unusually abundant in Nigeria’s southwestern city of Igbo-Ora.

Nearly every family here has twins or other multiple births, says local chief Jimoh Titiloye.

For the past 12 years, the community has organized an annual festival to celebrate twins. This year’s event, held earlier this month, included more than 1,000 pairs of twins and drew participants from as far away as France, organizers said.

There is no proven scientific explanation for the high rate of twins in Igbo-Ora, a city of at least 200,000 people 135 kilometers (83 miles) south of Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos. But many in Igbo-Ora believe it can be traced to women’s diets. Alake Olawunmi, a mother of twins, attributes it to a local delicacy called amala which is made from yam flour.

Igbo Ora is a town in Nigeria known as the “twins capital of the world.” It’s in the southwest part of Nigeria, which has a documented 50 sets of twins born out of every 1,000 births. Locals say it is due to an okra leaf they eat.

[supportblackart]

@ojingiripeter ✨ "Omo igbo ora" . . Igbo-Ora is a town and the headquarters of Ibarapa Central, Oyo State, south-western Nigeria, situated 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Lagos. In 2006 the population of the town was approximately 72,207 people. In 2017 the population is estimated to be around 198,514 people. The town today is the location of the newly established Oyo State College of Agriculture (since 2006). The College has contributed significantly to the socio-economic and demographic development of the town. The Oyo state government has just approved a High Court of Justice. The Federal government is also said to have approved the location of a Police Training College in the town. Twins The unusually large number of twin births in the region have earned the town the nickname Twin Capital of the World.This phenomenon of a large number of twin births is not unique to Igbo-Ora; it has also been observed in the town of Kodinji in India and Cândido Godói in Brazil. In Igbo-Ora, research has suggested that the multiple births could be related to the eating habits of the women in the region. Though no direct relation between dietary intake and twin births has been proved, a research study carried out at the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital has suggested that a chemical found in Igbo-Ora women and the peelings of a widely consumed tuber (yams) could be responsible. There is of course the possible explanation that the large number of twins being born here could simply be a matter of genetics.

Ok. What You Are Looking At Is The OBI-CHI (Human Spiritual Realm) Of The IGBO KWUBAALA That I Created, Based On ATUCHE That Came To Me From BEH CHUKWU NA BEH NNECHUKWU - The Realm Of The Divine Father And The Divine Mother. This Is More Of Lunar, The Other One I Unveiled Was More Of The Planetary Body And How They Are Related In Our Solar System. NDI USHI Want You To Discover The Mysteries. They Want Us To Elevate African Intelligence. They Don't Want Us To Be Sharing Slave Pictures Taken By OYIBO, Or Watching Slave Movies And Shouting "CHI M EGBUEMOO". We Are No Longer In UGA AZI( Age Of Ignorance). Your CHI Cannot Kill You. CHI Is Deathless. NDI USHI Want Us To Discover The Fact That Everything OYIBO Used To Better Themselves Was Created By NDI USHI. NDI USHI Want Us To Create A Rebirth (OFUFO CHI), An Afrofuturism In UGA ANWU (Age Of Enlightenment). And That's What I'm Doing. This Is How I Express My CHI, By Helping Others Discover The Mysteries Of NDI USHI (Our Ancestors).

NNEONO / NNAONU NA MBU Is The Mother / Father. The Mother Who Was At The Very Beginning Of All Things, All Creation. The Ancient Kush/Khemet Mysteries Begun With NENU / NUN That Is NNEONU / NNEONO. The Watery Abyss Of NENU. The Sun/Sirius RA/PTAH/ATUM Rose From Her Womb. That Is The Beginning Of Enlightenment, OFUFO CHI. When You Are At NNEONO, You Need To Be Birthed, MAKANA IBU NWATA NONA AFO NNE OKWA. EZE EBU N'AFO. NNEONO Is The Gate That Opens For OFUFO CHI To Take Place. And We Are All CHI, And We Gain Enlightenment By Walking Through The Gate Of NNEONO. That Is Both The Sacred Vagina And The Phallus. ALA And NNEONO Are Twin Sisters, But ALA Represents Foundation. The Foundation Of All Of Creation. ALA Is Our Stomach (AFO). As NNEONO Opens The Gates Of Heaven, ALA Is The One That Created Us As NNECHUKWU OKIKE (The Mother Creator) Of All Lives. Every CHI That Was Birthed By ALA Has AGWU. (See The Explaination Of AGWU On My Wall). AGWU Is The Science Of Enlightenment. The Initiator Of The Mysteries Of NDI USHI. When You're At AGWU, You Are Onye ODINANI. And The Consort Of AGWU Is UTO, And She Is The Balance Of The Energy You Received From Agwu. NNE-UTO, The Mother Of Growth / Sweet Mother, She Leads Us To OMA, Which Is Our Soul. OBI OMA. From The Infinite Consciousness Of Our Soul, We Gain Morality, And OMA Leads Us To The Judgement Of Our Current State Of Being, And Introduce Us To IKENGA Where We Gain The Will Power Of Success. It Is IKENGA That Enlightens Us Of The Fact That We Really Have A Lot Of Power, And We Can Archive Incredible Things By Being Pesistant, And We Can Do This, Without Hurting Anyone, And This Is Where The Principle Of UDO Comes In. There Are 3 Major Stages Of IKENGA, IKENGA NWAONYE, IKENGA ODUMIJE, And IKENGA OGARANYE. It Is The Success That We Gain That Unveils The Peacefulness In Us, Which Is UDO. We Balance Our Hardwork With UDO, Which Is A State Of Beingness, A State Of Love, Kindness, And Compassion. ARUO N'ANWU (IKENGA) ERIE NA NDO (EZE UDO). So We Balance Our Hardwork With A State Of Beingness, Which Is UDO. Now, IGBUDU Represents The Deepest Thoughts. IGBUDU CHI Is Not Connected To IKENGA Nor UDO, But Some How Connected To CHINEKE. Thus IGBUDU / IGBO-IDU - The Realm Of The Mystical Dark One Is A Representation Of The Consiouness Of The Left Behinds. The Left Overs. Sometimes, When We Are At IGBUDU, The Dark Energy, We Feel Like We Are Separate From The Works Of CHINEKE, But We Don't Really Know That We Are Very Close To The Magnum Opus. Don't Tell Anyone That I Told You This, But IGBUDU Is Where CHINEKE Stores All His Or Her Secrets. IGBUDU Draws Everything Down Into The Abyss, As It Is Also A Path To Degeneracy, But Also Plays A Major Role In Our Lives As A Gate Way To The Deepest Thoughts. The Deepest Mysteries. NDI USHI Were Masters Of IGBUDU, Meaning That They Were Masters Of Dark Matter And Dark Energy. So From UDO, We Transcend Up To NNEATU, The Mother Of Cosmic Thoughts. NNE-ATU-ORA. Oh, From Her, We Are So Close To Our Godliness. And We Balance Her With ELE, And That Is The Consciousness Of The Truth Of The Matter Is That Everything Is ELE, Infinite. NNEATU Represents Our Wisdom, And ELE Represents Our Innerstanding, Understanding And Overstanding. And Through The Gates Of ELE (BA-BE-ELE / BABEL), We Become CHINEKE. The Architect, The Creator, The Magician.

Is It Not Beautiful?

This Is HOW CHINEKE Works. This Is How We Should Work.

Nigeria has one of the highest occurrences of twins in the world, particularly among the Yoruba people in the southwest. In the southwestern town of Igbo-Ora, dubbed ‘The Nation’s Home of Twins’, reportedly almost every family has at least one set. In 2018, the town hosted a Twins Festival, attended by over 2,000 pairs. The first-born twin is usually called Taiwo, meaning ‘having the first taste of the world’, while the second-born is named Kehinde, ‘arriving after the other’. Communities have developed different cultural practices in response to this high birth rate, from veneration to demonization. In earlier times, twins in some regions were considered evil, and vilified or killed at birth. Nowadays, the arrival of twins is generally met with celebration, and many think they bring good luck and wealth. Two color filters were used, to express duality: of identity, of photographers, and of attitude to twins.

Yesterday, my waka waka wife (WWW) @iamverafrank and I visited the Twin Capital of the world to attend the World's Twins Festival. Did you know there's a town in Nigeria with at least one multiple birth (Twins, triplets, etc) in every home? Igbo-Ora in Osun State has one of the highest number of Twin births in the world, which earned the town the nickname "Twin Capital of the World". 😍 Vee and I love twins and amazingly, one of the twins we met confirmed we'll be having twins in the future. Somebody shout amen 3x 🔥😂 (at Igbo Ora, Oyo, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU2WwqvAQ6a/?utm_medium=tumblr

OKRA WATER FOR OVULATION BOOSTING/HYPER OVULATION Do you know that okra is one food that boost ovulation and with boosted ovulation it increases your chances of getting pregnant for twins? There are different ways we can use okra to boost ovulation, one is using it to prepare soup (the okra and the leaves). Another is socking the okra in water. Okra water causes multiple eggs to be released during ovulation and increases the female’s chances of having twins or triplets. Some scientists have also suggested that apart from okra water, okra leaves also boosts ovulation and fertility. A particular type of okra leaves “ewe ilasa” in Igbo-Ora community, Oyo State have been suggested to be responsible for the high rate of twinning among Igbo-ora indigenes. HOW TO PREPARE OKRA WATER FOR OVULATION. Buy okro from the market, wash it well then cut about 5 fingers of it and soak with cold water over night, drink the water first thing in the morning on empty stomach. Make sure you separate the okro from the water. WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO DRINK OKRA WATER TO AID OVULATION? Answer: After your period. Take okra water 2 weeks before ovulation and a day before ovulation. HOW MANY DAY CAN I TAKE IT? Answer: 2-3 days. IS IT THE SAME OKRO I WILL USE FOR THAT 2-3 DAYS? The answer is NO. Note: Okra water boosts the female OVULATION, FERTILITY, LIBIDO and helps you to concieve. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRTjK4eFAp6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fact: Igbo- Ora- The City With The Largest Number of Twins In The World.

Igbo Ora, a sleepy agrarian town 80 kilometers from Lagos, Nigeria It regarded the twin capital of the world. Although, an unconfirmed data estimates from the town say it boasts a mind-blowing 259 sets of twins for every 1,000 live births.

At the entrance to the town, visitors are welcomed with a large plinth, which proudly celebrates its reputation as “the land of twins.

According to its residents, the secret of their multiple births lie in their staple food, which consists of the leaf of an okra plant and yam.
