BACK-TO-BACK!!! See The Nigerian Community That Has The Highest Number of Twins In The World

Double the excitement, double the fun, double the chaos and double the expenses with twins. Twins provide an interesting opportunity to see two people become distinctively diverse despite sharing as many similarities as they do. Twin births are relatively uncommon occurrences based on recorded statistics, so it’s pretty much a scientific miracle when they do happen.

The birth rate of twins around the world varies depending on country and region. Research conducted by scientists from Radboud University and Oxford University found that Africa is home to the world’s highest rate of twin-births among regions in the developing world, with about 18 sets of twins per 1000 births. By comparison, Latin America and Southeast Asia record less than 10 sets of twins per 1000 births.

twins. Situated 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Lagos State, Nigeria, the town is nicknamed the ‘Twin Capital of the World” with an estimated 2017 population of about 92,000 people. Igbo Ora records an unusually high rate of twin births; while there isn’t any recent accurate statistics, a study carried out byBritish gynecologist Patrick Nylander from 1972 to 1982 recorded an average of 45 to 50 sets of twins per 1000 births in Igbo Ora.

The people see the birth of twins as an honor and a blessing from God, with some of them regarding twins as supernatural beings and accordingly worship them as deities. Others, however, subscribe to a different school of thought, which attributes the high birth rate of twins to a diet related condition.

ions of rain forests, wood savanna and southern savanna habitats. It is recognized as a staple of the Nigerian and West African diet, which provides high carbohydrate content and low fat and protein, accounting for about 200 calories of energy per daily serving.

Research into multiple twin births carried out by fertility experts at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital has s

uggested that the high level of consumption of natural hormone phytoestrogen found in yams eaten by Yoruba women could be the result of the high incidence of multiple births, as it is presumed to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs from both sides. A hospital gynecologist offered this by way of explanation: ‘These substances are usually linked to the release of more than one egg, which usually leads to twin pregnancies. That means that there is possibly an environmental factor that encourages the high level of this chemical substance’.

However, Dr Sulaiman Heylen, who serves as the Vice President of the Southern African Society of Reproductive Medicine and G
