They grew up together is my point!!! They lived same lifestyle for years before getting married. This will continue even after they are married with little noticeable change. it is obvious your analogy is shallow and narrow. Take one to the village to fetch firewood for a living and take the other to the a royal home from babies and tell me they will grow to have same weight. Funny.
@bolded,why do you think they have to live the same lifestyle and eat the same things after they are married?

The OP was talking about phenotype.
Even Identical twins can have a wide difference in metabolic rate
and do have different weights.
It is not common but it happens.

Most of the common-sense assumptions we made fall flat when put under scientific scrutiny.
I never said scientifically,it is not possible.In science,there are variations or what you can call anomalies but very rare.

Impossible!!!!! Height will obviously be same but certainly NOT weight. So with your logic, if one likes Pizza and burger and all, and the other is in the village fetching firewood, they will have same weight?? You are certainly confused about my point.
I live with twins and I know their behavior. If one eats, the other will eat and vice versa. If one play, the other will play. Whatever you buy for one must be done for the other, they also sleep same time and wake same time! This makes them grow alike both in height and size.
But if I happen to separate them, I will change this routin which will in turn affect their growth pattern.
NASA experimented with two twins in one's year and the results was obvious.
I have identical twins as friends.They have both been married for over 10yrs.Their weights are almost same Tell me,have their wives been giving them same meals?

The bold is totally false.
Genes do not 100% dictate destiny.
Have you heard about epigenetics?
Almost the same is the key phrase here.Their metabolism rate is going to be practically the same and what they store in their bodies will almost be equal at the end of the day.You won't have them with weights that are markedly different.
I'm yet to see identical twins with markedly different weights though.

Yea, I am a twin and know all about those stuffs and I also coincidentally have twin daughters as well. I think you are wrong on the other one.
What most likely happen is over time, they live same lifestyle, eat same type of food and all what not and ends up growing almost Identical in shape and size (I am not talking about similarities but shape and size)
You cannot tell me that if I seperate an identical twin from birth that after 20years will still have same body shape. That is impossible. What will be noticeable is the obvious lookalike like as if you are looking back in time when you are slim or fat.
If you separate them and put them in different environments,they will still look about the same size even after many years.The differences you will see will be negligible.eg if one is in Africa and the other abroad,the effect of the sun will make one slightly darker.However,no matter what they eat at different places,the weight will still be ALMOST same.
It's genetic coding,the environment will have just little effect.

frowland:
Why are identical twins mostly alike physically even though many of them don't eat same food, same lifestyle? They still end up havin same height, same shape and all.

By the way, I am also a twin but not identical.
Genetic codes.
As long as they are identical twins,they will reach same heights,same complexion and almost same weights(+ or - 1 or 2kg).

You are a fraternal twin.Fraternal twins have different amniotic sacs and are from different eggs and sperm so they are not exactly alike though born same day.Identical twins come from the same egg and same sperm.

Hoodrats.

Unfortunately,when one twin decides to be stupid,it's very rare that the other one will not follow the same path.

Yes, marriage is not a must. Their relationship is more functional than many of our Nigerian marriages where men are having girlfriends and women straffing outside
Oh,so it's not possible they or one of them is having an affair with someone else just because they are not married?

your brain is paining you!

What makes the man’s dressing to be crappy to you if not the Agbada he wore on his casual outfit?

If the man hadn’t put on the Agbada on the top, Jean trousers, face cap and sneakers, would you call the dressing crappy?

So evident, looking at the way the guy was acting in those pictures, he was so happy to showcase his background and source through the zanku dance he was dancing and teaching that white and the Agbada he wore on his outfit.

Once again, emancipate up yourself from mental slavery
Didn't know you're one of those teenagers on this forum.
@bolded,you said,'if the man hadn't put on' but 'did he put on? huh

Your level of thinking is juvenile.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
The facecap is ours? The sneakers is ours? huh

Why don't you visit a good optician first?

The mental slavery part we will deal with it when you can see first.

LiteratureRe: Olaokun Soyinka Writes Tonye Cole Over Airplane Seat Saga Of Wole Soyinka by thorpido(m): 9:06am On Jun 27, 2019
Esseite:
Nobody disrespected the prof.. the young lad only insisted on getting his rightful seat.

Why did soyinka in the first place pick a sit which is not his own? If he didn't have the assumption "because he is soyinka" anybody would obviously let go..

That is why our leaders keep holding us down because majority are psychologically trained to let go of their rights when it involves a celebrity, popular, elderly person. And because of this asslicking and suppressing, it's always "get rich or die trying" in Nigeria.

What gain can soyinka derive from the window sit that the young lad is not worth enjoying and rightly paid for. With all due respect sir, that is not disrespect.
Did you for a moment think,maybe old age and he just sat anywhere?
Why are you so confident that he actually wanted to 'chance' the young man?You:re already assuming that he 'assumed' he could take any seat because he is Soyinka.
The real issue for me would have been if he didn't want to leave the seat

lol so funny you, this internal strength to go on is very relative ooo. Also you see the factors that contribute to thus internal will to keep living are not equally available to all. Someone that does not have parents alive and still go through so much might not have the counsel required to go on. That is just an example and so much more . Another thing I like to show you is that I think we all should try and be more kind and nice to one another . some people just want to exact principle and some just wickedness. Look at a case like mine now, I struggled all through to get admission to a university, I remember days when I was on the oshodi expressway Hawking , someday lathe vehicles will kill fellow hawkers and I will just have to thank God that was not me. I struggled through it all and I gained admission finally . I fend for my self all through till 400 level when I was on farm practice year and couldn't do my everyday hustle to cater for school fees early because I was posted to a remote village for farm practice. I wanted to pay my school fee late but nassu was on strike and school decided not to open portal to cut the story shut I got rusticated for this. I lived to achieve this and it was taking away by one heartless VC ,tell me do I have to to go on??. Well I am still striving maybe because I still have some amount of hope in me. But trust me I am getting tired of fighting a painful fight call life . why can't people just decide to rest without any blame, why can't er all just respect their decision for once huh
@the bolded,you could have ended it but you didn't .That's what I'm saying that there's a reason to end it but a reason also to stay.
I'm not blaming them,just saying the action puts people in sorrow and is not the best.

Suicide doesn't end it all anyway,it doesn't bring rest(don't know what you believe).

Keep hope alive.
