I met the only surviving twin saved by Mary Slessor over 100 years ago (Video)


Mary Slessor was a missionary posted from Scotland to Calabar in Nigeria by the Presbyterian Church in 1876. She also lived in Arochukwu Nigeria during her missionary work. Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them.
One of the twin babies Mary Slessor saved by herself before the killing of twins was finally abolished is Mgbeafor Okereke. I met her in her home in Amasu, Arochukwu, where I had an amazing interaction with her.

the white men have Successfully brainwashed you

ednut1:
we should not always believe the white man's version of history. The missionaries were sent not to help us but to help spread Christianity and conduct reconnaissance for their white masters so they could enter us easily. The killing of twins was happening in a single village, not the entire tribe or area as its being painted.

You would have said the same thing if there was killing for money ritual and they stopped it.. How is killing of twins more barbaric than killing and extractibg body parts for money ritual..

Nigerians are barbaric and might have still been killing twins if they didn't stop it..

Everything the colonial masters changed positively or negatively, still have a lasting effects till date. That's why we are still unknowingly slaves to them.

Just Wow

A living testimony to a great lady's work

Wow wow wow. The only cheery news for the week.
Kudos OP, you are the opposite of Nairacover

brain washed Africans, tueh.


marry slessor story of saving twins is dumb and stupid

And after blacks never stop killing themslves still. .

Nairaland and their complimentary way of addressing their members ..

All nairalanders always appear in the good news ..

Whereas, there are call girls,fraudsters, (potential) rapists, criminals, etc that are also members of this platform ..

Well, nice discovery, I hope the government compensate you for this..

On a serious note, we the Kanuris never killed nor saw twins, triplets as evil. Same thing with the great Benin kingdom..

Using a part to represent a whole is wrong...

Mary slessor did a great work in Nigeria. On a 10 pounds note in Scotland, is the picture of mary slessor and her missionary route in Nigeria on the other side of the currency, you can see arochukwu and other places where she worked clearly written on that currency

Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them.

We thank God for Mary Slessor.

"Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria Calabar and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them."




OP and mods, abeg help us edit the error o. Na for Calabar dem dey kill twins and still dey kill twins today for Calabar till today
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/02/witchcraft-man-to-die-by-hanging-for-poisoning-11-year-twin-daughters-in-cross-river/amp/
but no be for Nigeria abeg.
Killing of twins neva stop for Calabar o
she no stop shishi!

For Yorubaland, twins are given special courtesies and endearment so tey dem dey pray for every new bride to born twins.
So many Yoruba songs, oriki and proverbs praise ibeji (twins) so tey dey are regarded as dieties to be worhipped for fertility.

Some families get up to 4 generations of twins for Yorubaland and na Yorubaland even get the highest rate of multiple births for the whole world.
For the Yoruba, Twins be like gods and prized gift from orisha ibeji. To maltreat dem sef go fear you let alone kill dem. You touch dem,ur own don cast finish be dat!

Abeg replace the Nigeria with calabar

If not for western world, twins and albinos hunchback would've been considered abnormal in Africa and the only solution is to eliminate them.


African ways of reasoning is barbaric.

Good to hear that...

[b][/b]wow...we thank God for their life....please oooo...she did not stop the killing of twins..she holds no power of such...she only enlighten our forefathers ...

If Mary Slessor really did prevent her infanticide, it means she's not less than 107 years old because Mary Slessor died on January 1915.

I've always doubted reports of Nigerians living up to 100+ because of the life expectancy stats published by international organizations. The record of the oldest person in the world is 118 years and if this woman is at least 107 and she isn't even regarded as the oldest Nigerian then low rate of violent crimes and good record keeping Nigerians may compete for the crown.

He owe his life to Mary slessor, what else we live to die someday.

Amazing stuff!
