I have been wondering from the first day I heard about the killing of twins in Nigeria and I was bothered.. Sometimes I do cry within my heart for those twins that were killed in the olden day because if not for MARY SLESSOR I would have dead by now,I wouldn't have been in existence... there is a question I have dreaming to ask the person that starts the killing of my twin brothers and in general the set of people that agreed to kill our twins brothers and sisters in the olden days and perhaps if any of you have ideas.. Here is the question... WHAT ARE THE REASONS THAT CONVINCED THE PEOPLE IN THE OLDEN DAYS, OR WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKES PEOPLE OF THE OLDEN BELIEVES THAT TWINS ARE NOT HUMAN ?... Through my research I found that more than 10,000 twins were killed in the operation and I have been wondering maybe the spirit of those twins that were killed are the one giving problems to Nigeria now... And in addition...if the killing of twins is one of the culture in Nigeria,why did they stopped killing twins(I mean why did they stopped their outrageous and useless so called culture) even if MARRY SLESSOR asked them to stop it,they shouldn't have stopped since they said the killing of twins is on of their culture... May the spirit of the twins that were killed in the olden days rest in the hands of the angels in heaven (amen) # I REP TWINS WORLD# |

Don't think it was widespread in those days. It may have even have been outlawed in some pre-colonial states at the time. Many ethnic groups such as the Yoruba valued the birth of twins greatly. |

The OP is an ignorant buffoon. This is the nonsense we get from education in Nigeria Mary slessor helped expose the people of calabar to understand that twins aren't evil means she stopped it  Wats worse is that calabar is now the entire Nigeria1 Like |

Why not just attempt to answer the op's question? it appears to be a genuine enquiry. |
