He said:
“Generally, the festival is Twins festival, and the first time it was held was twelve years ago in Igboora, Oyo State.

@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.”
