Why Is It That Yoruba People Call Pregnant Women "Iya Ibeji" by SugarPlum8(op): 2:37pm On Sep 01, 2016
Is it just me abi did anyone not notice this too.

Did they go for scan with the woman to see she is carrying twins? huh

If they did not, are they simply wishing her to born twins?

If they are wishing her to born twins, how sure are they that she likes twins, what if she wants triplets, or quintuplets or even just one?

Yes. The Igbos are fond of that one.
They will see somebody and call the person "Agadi"

They are just joking with them.

It is nothing serious.
