What do you mean by "In God's holy name"? Why don't you use "In Jesus name"? Don't you know that if anything has nothing to do with Jesus then it also has nothing to do with God?

ABOUT two thousand and thirty-four set of twins and tens of multiple births converged in Igboora, the capital of Ibarapa Central local Government area of Oyo State on Saturday to participate in the maiden edition of the Oyo State Twins Festival.

Some of the set of twins from the Local Governments in Ibadan converged at the Cultural Centre in Ibadan as early as 7 am to join the train to Igboora to join counterparts from Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa zones at the Methodist grammar school, Igbo-Ora, Oyo State.

The train from Ibadan was met at the entrance of Igboora-Ora town by the Local Government Officials and traditional chiefs from the seven towns that make up Ibarapa where the State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr Toye Arulogun laid the foundation of the twins tower to commemorate the festival.

In his address, Mr. Arulogun said that twins were invited from far and near to celebrate twins and multiple births from Igboora in commemoration of the Twins Festival, saying that the festival was a platform to showcase Igboora town with the unique feature of the highest rate of twins and multiple births in the world.

He said that the festival, organised in collaboration with Twins World Creations, Ibarapa Central Local Government, Igboora Progressive Union and the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, witnessed 2034 set of twins’ registration, adding that the attendance also covered tens of multiple births.

Arulogun said that the festival was aimed at placing Igboora on the World map as the World Highest twinning centre, saying that it was also an avenue to promote its predominant meal “Amala and Ilasa”, attributed as the cause of multiple births in the town.

He said that government’s effort will place the town and Oyo State in general on the World Map as the foremost twins’ tourism destination in the world, assuring that the state government would not relent in its drive to promote its tourism potentials.

In his address, the Chairman of Ibarapa Central Local Government, Hon Habib Ibrahim disclosed that research affirms that Igboora alone can boast of One hundred and fifty-eight (158) sets of twins for every one thousand life births, saying that available evidence attest to the fact that twins are born in Igbooraland more than anywhere else in the world.

He said, “A walk through the town can easily attest to this. There is no household without a history of at least a set of twins. This trend has made us not to see twin birth as a special phenomenon in Igboora, as it is elsewhere in the world.”

Speaking on behalf of the traditional rulers at the event, Oba Jamiu Badmus, the Olu-Aso of Iberekodo, who is also the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, called for the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders to sustain the festival, noting that efforts should be made to make it an international one towards making it a tourist event as a means of generating foreign exchange for Nigeria.

Yorubas have never at any point in time killed twins. Do not change our history for us. Shame history is no longer taught in Nigerian schools.
Twins are seen as gods in Yoruba land and they have a lot of eulogies dedicated to them. So many beautiful songs of old passed on from generations to celebrate and hold them in reverence. They have little idols dedicated them, and festivals specially dedicated to them long before Mary Slessor came to Nigeria. Mary's influence was among the Ibibio area.
Any familiy with twins in the days of old know to cook beans and corn to celebrate and worship the deities. Some still do it till date.
If not for foreign religions many of us have become a part of, twins would have been more celebrated amongst us.
Once again, they are seen as deities to be worshipped in Yoruba land

This particular area has the world's highest rate of twins and multiple births. I read sometimes ago that it's as a result of genetic makeup and a type of yam they eat.

Really nice.


True

Plus, continuous eating of yam itself brings about multiple birth

Lovely. My maternal grandmother is a twin and she gave birth to twins too, my paternal great grandfather is a twin, my grandfather is a twin, my father is a twin and myself a twin. My cousin sis gave birth to twins last two years and my younger sis gave birth to twins just last month. What a wonderful God.
