Why are you full of hatred like this?
let him be, we will remind him that is great grandfather's are cannibals, warriors from that side don't only kill twins, Mary S also discover that some of the warriors chop the twins and some use them to increase their power to the gods(satan ) before Christianity gospel and Mary S stop their barbaric acts. Hatred go eventually kill him,and one day people like him will commit suicide. Vultures want to hear words,if vultures don't want to hear words, he can continue to feed on dead carcass. God go punish all evildoers & anyone that want to cause chaos among any tribes in Nigeria, God go punish the evildoers and Satan,Satan/devil will bow out

On the contrary, killing of Twins has stopped in Yoruba land before Mary Slessor stepped her feet into Nigeria. She only eradicated killing of twins in Akwa Ibom and by extension, South south states.
There was no even Nigeria in that era. So that appellation is ambiguous to say the least

STOPPED? How can something stop when it NEVER started? Please learn to use your brain.

That is a lie , Yoruba never kill twins or intend to kill twins , Yoruba see twins as something to be proud of and worship , that is why they have special praise poems for twins. Twins even get Orisa (god) in Yoruba land (Orisa Ibeji)

The killing of twins was eradicated in Calabar where it was prevalent. Most of Nigerian tribe never practiced the killing of twins. Albino is a different matter though

Point of correction. Mary Slessor didn't eradicate killing of Twins in Nigeria but Calabar. Historically, The Yorubas have been Celebrating The Twins (Loving them as a special Gift from God) even before the birth of Mary Slessor herself.

Wrong. Yorubas accepted twins from time immemorial, killing of twins in the olden days is from SS and SE.

Why is it that so many towns in south west Nigeria is named after Igbo.
They ran away from Igboland and came and settled in the west.

Twins have always been special in Yorubaland. Maybe you're thinking of Calabar. Children born after twins have special names too in order of their birth. E.g. Idowu is the name given to a child born immediately after twins. Next is Alaba.

Normally Yorubas can't do without igbos.

News has it that Igbos founded south West. And because of this all lands in SW were named after its Original owners (the Igbos). This is exactly why you have Igbos names in every locality in Yorubaland

High level of ignorance or deceit. Igbo means bush in Yoruba. Igbo Efon for instance means bush of buffalos. Towns were named based on historical facts, circumstances of origin or the environment.

You lied, even before Mary Slessor came to Nigeria, Yorubas don't kill their twins.
Moreover, there are no records that she came to Yorubaland

Killing of twins was a cultural practice in parts of present day CrossRivers state.

God bless Mary Slessor and all "good hearted people, living or dead, worldwide".
Re: Pictures From Igbo-Ora Twins Festival 2022 by cosmos1440: 6:06pm On Aug 18, 2023
Igbos can't hide their envy and jealousy of the Yorubas...

Stop worshiping white people.

Are you saying if not for Mary slessor, you would hav been killed in 21st century for being twins?
Do you know how many people they burnt on the stake in white man land for having epilepsy thinking they were possessed?
What of slavery? What’s the difference between slavery and killing twins? They are both crimes against humanity

And Mary slessor only stopped killing twins in some small remote area not even the entire Akwa ibom . And without her, they would have stopped eventually
Oga sorry for the missup.

That's in another part of Nigeria. Yorubas don't kill twins. They are welcomed as special blessings from God.

Not in South West. Yorubas adore twins, infact they are referred to as dieties(ORISA)
