5 Nigerian Identical Twin to Twin Marriages

 

Giving birth to twins is a thing of joy. When they are identical twins the joy becomes double. But when those twins get married to identical twins it becomes a rare phenomenon worthy of documenting. In this story, we bring you five of such phenomenon and one more in the making.

 

Recently pictures and videos of identical twin brothers set to wed identical twin sisters in Kano flooded the internet. While waiting to add this per to the list of identical twin marriages seen so far in Nigeria, we bring you five other identical twin to twin marriages that have made headlines in Nigeria.

 

Taiwo and Kehinde Oluwafunso and their wives

Perhaps the first of the phenomenon in Nigeria would be the marriage between twin brothers, Taiwo and Kehinde Oluwafunso to their wives Taiwo and Kehinde Oyawoye.

That marriage took place the same day at Immanuel Baptist Church in Ilorin, Kwara state, and a twin reverend preached on their wedding day, while on the bridal train were identical twins. Interestingly many twins attended the event.

The Oluwafunso twins who hails from Ibadan, Oyo State, runs the Twin Action-Aid, an NGO specifically set up to see to the welfare of twins and they are also front liners of the national twin festival in Nigeria.

They met their wives during the annual twins’ festival and their wives were among participants from Kwara State.  Interestingly, one of the male twins - Kehinde actually saw them in his dream prior to their meeting day. He would later meet them in reality after which they prayed over it and God confirmed the ladies as their wives. According to Oluwafunso twins, the first day they visited the girls at their home, they saw the girls wearing the same attire they wore in that dream.

Speaking further, they said opting for twin sisters was a divine direction as their previous relationship was leading them apart.   

The Oluwafunso brothers were born in Mushin on November, 1966. They attended Mushin Primary School and later went to Oduabore Primary School in Mushin and proceeded to Oyo State for their post-primary school. They separated for the first time when one attended the Lagos State College of Education, Ijanikin and the other went to The Polytechnic, Ibadan. But they would later come together as students at the Lagos State University.

They say their resemblance has always been a blessing to them, adding that at times, 'we play pranks to save ourselves from embarrassing situations or to confuse people. We deliberately played pranks while growing up at times on our parents to escape punishment and mostly in school. We played pranks too on girls."

On the part of their wives, they are so identical that even their father can’t tell them apart. Both ladies work as accountants but while one is in the office of the Lagos State Auditor General, the other works with the Treasury Office of the Lagos State Government. Unlike their husbands, they are not obsessive about dressing in the same attire.

As wives, the only challenge they claim to face is the fact that individually they want their husbands to be more personal with them, but the brothers would rather give that attention to themselves.

Another thing is, though the sisters would have wanted to give birth to twins, but the duo says, "it’s too late to wish for that since we are okay with the two kids each God has given us."

Okueze Twins brothers and their wives

A more current twins wedding which stood out in Nigeria would be that of the Okuniyi twins sisters who married the Okueze twins brothers. Their wedding was adjudged the 251st  in the world by the officials of  the Guinness Book of World Records.  The twin sisters - Folawemi Taiwo and Febisola Kehinde Okunniyi, walked down the aisle with their husbands Chibuzor Adelakin and Chinonso Akinade Okueze on the same day, Saturday, November 30th, 2013 at the Four-square Gospel Church, Omole, Ikeja District Headquarters in Lagos.

While the Okuniyi sisters are from Ondo state, the Okueze twins hail from Asaba in Delta State.  

Ayansola twins and their wives

Another outstanding identical twin wedding is the wedding of twin brothers Caleb Kehinde and Joshua Tayeolu Ayansola to twin sisters, Taiwo Eunice and Kehinde Bernice Elejofi. Interestingly, the twin grooms also had a set of identical twin brothers Elijah and Enoch Olatunji, who accompanied them as best men.

 The Ayansola brothers are from Modakeke in Osun State. They attended the same primary and secondary schools and studied the same course – Physical Health Education – for their first degree at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and both graduated in 2014 with First Class. The duo also got Commonwealth scholarship for their Master’s degrees in the United Kingdom and together eyes a career in gospel music.

They would be separated for the first time when they went for their national youth service. One would be posted to Katsina State, while the other landed in Anambra State.

The brothers said the union started with a birthday message sent to one of the brothers by one of the twin sisters.  Soon they got talking, and a relationship followed.

According to the brothers, they had always wanted to marry twin sisters as that would be the only way to sustain their closeness as brothers. However, the search was not easy. They met several twin sisters and were even in relationships with two set of twins which hit the rocks.

But this setback didn’t discourage them, rather, they prayed and fasted for 120 days for Gods intervention. That divine intervention would come from an online chance meeting on facebook which later resulted to a proposition by the two brothers to the sisters and subsequently marriage.

The ladies, Taiwo Eunice and Kehinde Bernice Elejofi, who studied Biology Education at the University of Lagos, said they had no previous relationships before meeting the Ayansola brothers. They added that they turned down several suitors earlier because they felt no connections with them. But when the Ayansola twins paid them a visit in school, they felt like kindred spirits and three days later, things began to happen for them seamlessly. Interestingly their parents also gave their consent and blessings.

Their parents said they expected this to happen right from their birth adding that “While they were growing up, we were told that the girls would be unique and different from others. All this we kept to ourselves and as they grew older, we began to see some of these things.

The couples are audaciously hoping to give birth to sets of twin boys.

Sa’ad and Sa’eed Yusuf
Giving birth to twins made identical twin brothers Sa’ad and Sa’eed Yusuf  who married twins sisters to become very famous in Nigeria.  While Sa’ad’s wive gave birth to twin girls on June 15, that of Sa’eed gave birth to boys on June 17. Both wives were said to have been delivered of their babies through caesarean section.

 Yusuf  twins and their wives

Though born and raised in Jos the Yusuf twins who are from Jigawa State commenced their education at different Islamic schools, but would also attend the Islamic College in Jos, Plateau State, Government College in Birnin Kudu, Jigawa State, School of Health Sciences and Technology in Jahun, Jigawa State where they bagged a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology and the Maryam Abacha American University of Niger for a degree in Medical Laboratory Science. They later proceeded to the Federal School of Medical Laboratory Technology in Jos for additional training. They practice as medical laboratory scientists.  

According to them, their childhood was smooth and fun. They never used their identical look to play any pranks on anyone.

Growing up they desired to marry twins but they even had non – twin girlfriends let alone getting married to twins, but God made it possible through a man called Mallam Zakariya who linked them to their twin wives in January 2014. By August of that year, they were married and the event happened the same day for both twins.

For the twin sisters, they also share similarities, like schooling together at the Government Girls Secondary School, Ragogo, Katsina State and the Yusuf Bala Usman College of Legal and General Studies, Daura, where they studied Hausa-Islamic and graduated in 2014.

They also claimed that they are extremely happy, proud and feel lucky to have married twins like themselves.

Usangnwan twins and their wives
Finally is the wedding between twin brothers Itakke and Enyieokpon Usangnwan and twin sisters, Attah Abigail and Helen Obiofia at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witnesses.

While Abigail Attah got married to her man, Itakke Usangnwan her sister, Helen Obiofia wedded Enyieokpon Usangnwan.

5 Tallest People in Ghana

In the bible the Philistines Goliath stood out among his people because of his height, same has been the case with extremely tall people across the globe including Ghana. In this story we present to you five of the tallest people in Ghana.

 1 Ebenezer Mensah

Ebenezer Mensah
Ghanaian teenager Ebenezer Mensah, a student of Swedru School of Business, is 7 feet tall and has since become a celebrity on campus and beyond after his photos went viral on social media. 

The first photo that drew the attention of Ghanaians on social media to him was a photo of him with his headmaster and his assistant.

While Ghanaian musician Patapaa praised Swedru for giving birth to the tallest man in Ghana and prayed that he is coached to be one of the best basketball players in the world, popular sports personality, Saddick Adams has also revealed he has received calls from three world class football coaches who are willing to sponsor the young man abroad and to teach him basketball all for free.

In 2018 when the lad clocked 16, Ghana’s telecommunications giant, MTN, donated a special bed and a mono desk to him.

They made the donation following a publication by Ghana’s leading newspaper Daily Graphic on the difficulties; Ebenezer Mensah goes through in accessing his bed and desk.

Talking about similar difficulties he encounters at home, Mensah said due to his height he always had to bend down before entering their house and rooms, adding that “I can't sleep on my own bed at home because it is too short for me, I always have to bend my legs while sleeping on the bed or rest on the upper frame up on the bed while my legs hang off the bed”.

He is the only child of his parents and lives with his mother at Ankyease, a suburb of Agona Swedru.

2 Derrick

Derrick
With a height of 6 feet 7 inches, Derrick (as he chooses to be called) is arguably one of the tallest living men in Ghana. Being a high school graduate, Derrick is a member of the Hoops Care International Basketball Team in Cape Coast. As a basketball player, he is said to be a quiet, reserved individual who rarely visits public places.

3 Jude Ogba

Jude Ogba
 This young man called Jude became the side attraction at the 2019 Chale Wote festival due to his height. Chale Wote Festival is an annual event organized to display mind-blowing crafts and artistry at James Town in Accra.

Twitter handle user @delisworldwide who happens to be Ghana based Nigerian musician Delis posted the above picture on twitter and wrote: ‘’My younger brother became a celeb at chalewote today,’’

Delis said that his brother is around 6.10ft tall and people at the event were quick at crowning Jude, the tallest man seen so far at the event.

Young ladies were seen thronging the young lad for a photograph.

4 Charles Sogli

Charles Sogli

Celebritiesbuzz.com.gh recently reported that a 20-year-old man called Charles Sogli who hails from Ziope, in the Volta Region of Ghana could be the tallest man in Ghana as a result of his 8 feet height.  He is said to so far be the tallest in the region upon authentic checks.

According to Sir Polymath Agbanyo who interviewed him on Ho 92.5 FM, Charles is said to have dropped out of school because of unavailability of a suitable shoe size.

The extra-large slippers which he wears, was specially made for him at the cost of around GHC75 or 13 USD. He said to have enrolled as an apprentice in a welding workshop.

Another major challenge Charles is said to encounter is discomfort when he sleeps, since he’s longer than his bed.

 

5 Abdul Sonnet Suleyman

Abdul Sonnet Suleyman
Ghana’s tallest man Abdul Sonnet Suleyman popularly known as “Awuche” is unfazed by his stature but rather aspires for greatness and international recognition with his gigantic stature.

The 8- feet tall 27year old indigene of Nalerigu in the East Mamprusi municipality in the North East Region of Ghana, said he was born a short person but at age 10, he realized that he was growing astronomically tall, prompting his parents and opinion leaders in the community to have a second look at his growth by consulting the oracles.

 Speaking with the Editor of senaradioonline.com in an interview he said “I feel exceptional because of my height and people always want to come closer to me and take pictures with me”,

He added that his utmost aim is to use his unique personality to attain an international recognition which he said would also help attract investors or tourists into Nalerigu, thereby boosting the economic fortunes of the community whilst also benefiting from it as a person.

Awuche as he likes to be called however said, in spite of his looks, he thanks God for how far he has brought him through a stature which he says now brings food to his table.
