And after black never stop killing themslves still. .

Hmmmmm, this is deep!

Mtchew!
Op, Slessor stopped the killing of twins in a part of cross rivers state called Okoyong, not the entire Nigeria.
Besides, I doubt she was the only one that opposed such practices at that time. Her fame is the product of colonial propaganda- "The white saviour" bullshit.
Regardless she did some good works, unlike mother Theresa.

Quite interesting.

But of a truth, if not for the coming of the white man & their influence on blacks, blackman would have still been killing twins & hunting rabbits & Squirrels naked in the bush.

Even white people were barbaric at one point in time, there's lots of evidence from history that they burnt witches and kept slaves. Who stopped them from doing all that?

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.

Go and look for food to eat, you are dropping saliva all over floor.

That's not true. The colonial masters came for business while
missionaries came to spread the Gospel.

Stop spreading lies.

Were the whites not doing that and worse before they reformatted their brains to what it is now

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.

bring out ur own side of the story, or u shut d fuccck up

This is a disinformation passed down through generation & shoved down d throat of gullibles, that one Mary Slecor abolished killing of twins in Nigeria. This is a fallacy, attempt to deify one of many Invaders that ravaged our land in those days. I am a Yoruba man, neve! I repeat ,never! has Yoruba people throughout of their sojourn down the river Nile & Niger before their eventual settlement in what is now Southwest Nigeria practice the BABARIC ACT OF KILLING TWINS. As a matter of fact twins are regarded as a special gift from almighty, they are regarded as some deity, in some areas till this day , once twins are birthed,their images are made of wood where sacrifices are made to their gods. Hundred of Mary Slecor could not av abolished a practice, if such practice were such endemic as we were made to believe .

Wow .... I'm just amazed at her eloquent English, even at that age.

We now need Christians to save Baby Factory Children and Alimajirin

So she is more than 100 years old?

May God continue to rest and bless her beautiful soul.

And she was such a dashing woman...

Rave90:
Amazing stuff!

This is our amazing stuff

History live before our eyes.How can we make this go viral or bless her with monetary stuff
Wooow

Share her account details.

If you have a tweeter account, tweet her pix or the youtbe video. I am not talking about the narrative of Slessoer stopping the killing of twins but the twin herself.
Never fathomed she could still be alive.

Nice to see Mary Slessor too

This is a big fat lie. Black's were civilized and progressing nicely before the Europeans came and destabilised everything, the consequences of which we are still suffering till today.

I thank God for using her to intervene for twins. If not for championing our cause, I and my twin bro wouldn't have been alive.

Shameful

Frederick Lugard thunder fire you wherever you're now.

It's 2022 and yet some people still believe that Mary slessor stopped killing of twins in Nigeria lol.

Oga keep quiet, Appreciate the woman. That's why Africa is not progressing.

Childofaking:
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 clearly written on that currency

I used to have that note in a wallet I used to have in my backpack. It was given to me as change in Edinburgh and I kept it as souvenir…lost it when I lost my bag in one of the trains. Recovered my bag at Waterloo station after two weeks but the £10 was gone.

We had our own form of civilization and unique mode of doing things before the arrival of the white man. The white man didn't influence our culture, tradition and arts prior to the colonial era.

Albeit, we were influenced religiously and politically, our culture and tradition remains pristine.

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.

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.

Abeg replace the Nigeria with calabar
