Whenever people see twins, they are stunned. It is a shocking experience to see two identical people. It is possible that you may have never seen a twin in your life, it is also possible that you may have seen a twin pair at some point. But there is a city in the world (City of Twins), where wherever you look, you will see twin people. For this reason this city is called the city of twins.
According to the report of Reuters website, Igbo-Ora is a city in the African country Nigeria (Nigerian city of twins). Twins are present in almost every family in this city. According to an AP report, the local Chief Jimoh Titiloy has said that a twin is seen in every family. For about 13 years, an annual function is being organized here in which the birth of twins is celebrated. You will be surprised to know that twins from even France come here and become a part of this gathering.

50 out of 1000 twins
These people are from the Yoruba tribe who dominate this part of Nigeria. In 1970, a British gynecologist had found that out of 1000, 50 sets of twins were born here. The rate of birth of twins here is the highest in the world. People here believe that so many twins are being born because these people eat okra leaves (okra plant leaves).
Doctors don’t know the reason
The surprising thing is that even doctors do not know the reason behind so many twins being born here. Many people believe that the eating habits of the women here are responsible for this. According to AP, people here believe that women eat a dish called Amala, which is made from Suran flour. This could also be a big reason, but John Ofem, a gynecologist living in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, says that this dish of suran flour is eaten in other places, so why does it not happen there. He believes that it is possible that there is something in the diet of people here, due to which multiple ovulations occur.
