The arrival of twins doubles the joy of the parents and the entire family.
But also a country with an extraordinary rate of twins.
According to Al Arabiya report, a large number of couples wearing similar clothes are usually seen among locals visiting the Igbo Ora region of Nigeria.
Hundreds of people gather in the self-proclaimed “Twin Capitals of the World” for an annual festival. The festival celebrates the unusual proportion of multiple births at once.

According to the report, the local king, ‘Waba Kehendi Gbadioli Olugbenli’, who is himself a twin and belongs to the Yoruba race, said, “There is hardly a family here in ‘Igbo Ora’ that does not have twins.
Al-Arabiya’s report stated that the global rate of twin births is about 12 per thousand births, but according to scientific studies and hospital records, the rate in the African city of Agbowara is close to 50 per thousand births.
