The Twin Births

The Yorùbá people have the highest rate of twin births in the world.


Igbó Òrà, a town ín Ọ̀yọ́ State, Nigeria, has the highest number of twins in the world. 2Hardly could one get to a household there without seeing a set of twins.

The indigenes believe that a kind of okra leaves, locally known as ewé ilasa, is capable of making women who use it, give birth to twins.
