Hard to believe such practices are still happening in this day and age. I only found out about twin killings a few years ago when my father in law died at the ripe old age of 97. Discussing his life with my hubby who disclosed that his twin was killed, as then it (multiple births) were seen as an abomination, but we are talking about nearly 100 years ago.

Alfamann:

Mary Slessor stopped killing of twins and Mungo Park discovered River Niger. Yes, we've all heard it all before. You really to heed Fela's advice and stop following oyibo book and use your own sense.

White people came to Africa with lies. Destroyed what we had, condemned our way of life. Told numerous lies about us. Sold us as animals. Turned us against each other.

What proof do you have that what you heard about Miss Slessor was true?


stop thinking like someone with his head upside down, I think you are the one that need to use your sense here and read wide and stop being myopic

Instead of talking, complaining or having pity, we should find a way of stopping this barbaric act.
You can be part of this campaign by broadcasting this on your BBM, facebook, twitter and other social platforms until it gets the attention of the authorities and concerned organisations and individuals that could put a stop to this ungodly culture. I have put up this piece below which I am going to broadcast right away. Pls join me.


40 ABUJA TOWNS STILL KILL TWINS!

"It might shock you to hear that there is still a community that still sees twins or multiple birth as abomination. But it is more confounding to find that the communities are in the nation’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT). How awful that even within the world’s newest city, with all the trappings of modernity, the preponderance of religions and inclinations that abhor killing of human beings, twin kids are still sacrificed to the gods of tradition that don’t want them alive like the biblical story of the notions that passed their babies through the fire of Molech.

Imagine yourself visiting a community called Basa Komo in the FCT and all of a sudden, you come face-to-face with a crowd. You move closer and are confronted with a helpless infant, struggling to set himself loose from the grip of community leaders, who want to bury him alive.

This scenario is not from a Nollywood film or a best selling novel. It happens today in a community in the nation’s FCT. In Bassa Komo, it is abomination to be born a twin, or a mother dies within three months of a baby’s birth, or a child grows upper teeth first or is born with defect. These are all faults of the baby or babies involved"

The villages in these practices today are up to 40. Some of them are in Gwagwalada Area Council, more of them in Abaji, some in Kwali and part of Kuje."

For more details: http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/bizarre-40-fct-communities-that-kill-twins/


Pls, rebroadcast and join in this campaign to draw the attention of Ministry of Women Affairs, Human Right Groups, Child Right Organisations, Religious Groups, NGOs and CSOs to these communities and stop this barbaric act.

See bold faced lie. The problem with liars is that they don't know when they overlie. If your grandfather was a twin in a twin killing community, how come he was still alive at 97? Or did your community do selective killing?

What are you ranting about!? Simples. They killed one, kept the other. No reason to lie, its a shameful/misguided practice and if u ask people/elders of a certain age they will know about it. Don't know why you are getting so worked up about this topic.

Who killed one? Is is now "Africans kill one twin"? I thought it was "Africans kill twins".

I am not getting worked up or anything. I am just pointing out the white lies propagated about us.
Re: 40 Abuja Towns Kill Twins! by chucky234(m): 2:23pm On Mar 27, 2013
I am sure there are no electricity in those communities making it impossible for them to watch Psquare to see how successful they become as twins,civilisation is way too far from those remote communities.
Re: 40 Abuja Towns Kill Twins! by Nobody: 2:31pm On Mar 27, 2013
haba, Kwali, Abaji, Gwagwalada etc are not in the bush now, how come nobody is doing something?
I really do not beleive the Bassa part of that story, the Bassa children will die of poverty, diseases, hunger etc whether picked or not picked spiritualy for sacrifice!

it's of no use arguing with that fuccking pagan! I remember my grandma told me how some twins were lucky to have escaped being killed. I mean only one of the twin would be alive because he or she was taken to another village. exactly what we watch in nollywood movies. a distant relation of mine was a twin too. immediately his mother gave birth, the news went to the village head and luckily for him, his father absconded with him being a male and left his mother with the female twin. sadly, the female twin was killed. the man should be in his 80's now.

No, YOU stop thinking like a brainwashed dunce. Alfamann raised some magnificent points.
Re: 40 Abuja Towns Kill Twins! by Dibiachukwu: 2:59pm On Mar 27, 2013
Killing of twins is totally wrong.
However mary slessor was one lying biatch. Bleep that biatch. For her defamation, may her name be an example of criminal colonial lies.

So your tales are based on nollywood movies. smh.

Have you all noticed a pattern with all these urban legend protagonists? It is always "I was told", "my friend saw it", "it happenned to a distant relation" "oyibo wrote it in a book" etc. They never have a first hand account.

Why did that biatch go on to put lies in their colonial books about Igbos. This is why I maintain that she is a lying biatch. You can't play with fire and expect not to get burnt.

You shut up. You have no proof apart from what the colonial criminals wrote to defame you. Guess what? They also wrote that you are a savage being. Tell me, are you a savage? Believe whatever you want, but don't try to pull any community into your mental laziness.

My husbands father was not a "distant relative". If you want a "first hand account" I suggest you jump in a time machine and set the dial to 1900, then come back and tell us how it really went down. The generation affected by this are well into their 90's many have passed away. The generation that witnessed/perpetrated this are long gone.

Where is your proof?
Verifiable folklore?
All I hear is crap from the same people that claim to have discovered River Niger and America!
