Use your common sense. The author referred to a specie of yams, EKiti yams, as being responsible for high incident of multiple births. Presumably, Igbos and other Yorubas, aside from those who eat Ekiti yams, may not be having lots of multiple births because, even though they are eating yams, they are not eating Ekiti yams.

igbos and yorubas eat yams and cassava a lot. infact they both have yam festivals because yam is so important to igbos and yorubas. yorubas drink a lot of garri too, and eat eba. so why don't we see the same phenomenon in igbos? if you say it is because of different response to drugs (pharmacogenetics), that might make sense. still, there isn't conclusive experiment that i know of which says yam is the culprit here.

CORRECTION: ekiti are known for eating pounded yam for breakfast, lunch and dinner (i know this, i am ekiti, too) but they are not known for twins or multiple births; the yoruba (including ekiti) are known for multiple birth.

you are right. diet , alongside genetics, plays a huge role in physiology. i have heard this yam hypothesis before but no one has really mentioned that particular chemical in yam. i'm also interested in how the scientist(s) were able to determine that the cause is yam. i mean why not Ewedu (ewedu seems to be more exclusive to yoruba than yam) igbos eat lots of yam, too.

lagcity:
the yam hypothesis is kinda hard to swallow for me. na only Yoruba ppl dey chop yam? The cause is more likely to be genetic.

Speaking of footballers, you guys won't believe what is going on in Lagos right now. You know a lot of 'dem foreign football players are in town? Oh boy, some Lagos babes are not smilin' at all at all, lol. Sometimes I wish I was an anonymous blogger, the kind of things you people will be reading/seeing on this blog eh, but people know me, so I gotta be careful. There's a Kanu Testimonial pre-match party taking place tonight at Okocha's Club 10 and there's a gala night at Eko Hotel tomorrow evening (a table of ten is N500,000) and the scramble to be at this two venues by some babes? oh dear, as in, it has turned to world war 3, lol

All the visiting footballers are lodged at Eko Hotel, some babes have booked their rooms at the hotel since Wednesday, lol. God bless their hustle, so sad!

The Rivers NYSC was yet to release the identity of the corps members. It was not clear what part of the country and states they hail from

Sources said the girl had been dating the boy for over two years.

They said she often complained about his infidelity, which had been giving her sleepless nights in recent times.

Her neighbours said she started behaving funny last week, after she caught him with another girl.

They can make their Aeroplane from banana peals, melon peals etc. It is rampant in the South my brother. Again, these planes are invisible to the ORDINARY eyes

The story is, of course, a hoax. But it fooled many tech websites, including Gizmodo — that of the "stolen" iPhone 4G fame.

A Google search for Gizmodo's version of the story, or any other, now comes up blank because unfortunately, while the original story was fake, the photo accompanying it wasn't.

Mediaite reports that the site that set up the hoax, Sensacionalista, simply grabbed a random image of a woman and child from the internet to go with the fake story.

Yesterday, Sensacionalista was left looking a little foolish itself after it was forced to apologise to the woman and child in the picture.

Apparently she had been quickly identified and had rapidly become the subject of ridicule in her home town.

"A week ago we published an article about the woman who claimed to get pregnant after watching a porn movie 3d," the site said.

"The article was fake and we used the photo that we found on the internet.

"Unfortunately, the article spread around the world because some sites thought that it was real. That was not our intention.

"Sensacionalista is a small site from Brazil. We never thought that this could happen. That’s why we are asking this family to accept our sincere apology.

"That woman and her baby in the photo had nothing to do with this article. They are just a normal family trying to live their own lives.

"We apologise for wrongfully taking their photo and putting it in our article.

"Please, not to publish this article again and next time check what you read before you write. This site is a humour site. Nothing here is real."
