ReplyDeleteBefore una go come here dey claim mama twins, how many una don collect come shoot off?
ReplyDeleteNa only question I ask o.
True
ReplyDeleteWatched a documentary about this town.
The number of twin births outnumbers that of single birth.
The high rate of twin births are credited to the eating of YAM.
I think there is a particular yam
DeleteNot just any yam
Una don come again, which kin yam be dat?
DeleteThe yam wey all man dey chop for mouth abi another yam?
Wild yam.
DeleteBlackey,
DeleteJoke right?
Wild yam. Igbos call it "ona".
DeleteGood to know

ReplyDeleteI know God will make me conceive with twins boy and girl this year. Amen. Great kids that will bring me unending joy and happiness
DeleteWell with IVF now you can give birth to twins.You don't need to eat yam. Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey all gave birth to twins.
ReplyDeleteEven 4 , 6 , 8
Deleteπ
No it has nothing to do with eating yams or a specially prepared soup as someone said below.
DeleteIt's mostly genes. We are Yoruba from another state and it's like it is a crime to give birth to single child in our household.
My grandfather gave birth to triplets four times. Same with his siblings. My dad and his siblings also same thing happened. It's very common to the Yorubas generally.
Mind you IVF is extremely painful and expensive.
So instead of eating 500 tuber of yam you'll rather go through the rigors of IVF and the cost...okurrr
DeleteI love twins!
ReplyDeleteI want twins!
@Natasha IVF is expensive. the average Nigerian or even American will rather eat yam (which is natural) than go through the pains of IVF.
ReplyDeleteKudos @PrayingAfrican. Even Beyonce would rather yam than go through pain. it isn't always about money, IVF fails too.
DeleteBaby dust to all.
@praying Africa God bless you, IVF is expensive, is not everyone that can afford it
DeleteI still remember my scan in 2012, when the Technologist told me I was having twins.I was shocked. I had never in my wildest dreams imagined ever having twins in my entire life.
ReplyDeleteMy girls will be seven in April and I am grateful to God.
I pray for twins, mainly girls. You are blessed.
DeleteThem never reach edo States, dat place twins plenty
ReplyDeleteOmo and Ahjere
DeleteTaiwo ati Kehinde!
ReplyDeleteI served in this town,it is believed that a type of soup called ILASA is responsible for the birth of twins there. Tho I totally do not agree because I believe its in their gene already. Anyway, I ate lot of ilasa and I am still waiting for my twins.I am certain they will come.
ReplyDeleteAmen to ur wish.
DeleteI think that place is called Igbora or so
ReplyDeleteI want twin girls, God look unto me in your graciousness
ReplyDeleteGosh... I love twins
ReplyDeleteI want twins and i will be pregnant of two boys for my husband this year in Jesus name.
