Photographer captures photos of twins in Igboora town

Taofeek Ibrahim, a Nigerian photographer who attended the twin festival, told Legit.ng that it is usually a fun affair.

He said:

“Generally, the festival is Twins festival, and the first time it was held was twelve years ago in Igboora, Oyo State. It’s a day festival where every twin from that city comes out to celebrate and showcase themselves and the culture from their lineage in the presence of dignitaries like the governor, kings, and many more who will be in attendance as they grace the occasion.”

@paul90370921 asked:

“Why are they called Igbo_ ora? What do they have in common with Igbos in the Eastern part of Nigeria?”

@omolaraolarerin said:

“Is it the water? The food? Has any research been done here to show why this is possible? Is it genetic or is it spiritual? What I hear is that if you marry from this place, you’ll have twins. It is very intriguing.”

@shosbaba commented:

“I heard that when you eat okra in that town you will give birth to a twin.”
