Painting Description
In Southwest Nigeria there?s a small town in Igbo-Ora, this town boasts of being the “TWINS CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”. The town claims to have the highest concentration of multiple births of any place on the globe.?To celebrate its self-proclaimed title the town hosts an annual festival that draws hundreds of sets of twins from around the country. Donning different traditional clothes and costumes, the twins — male and female, old, young, and even new-borns — sing and dance at this festival to the appreciation of an admiring audience. The elders of the town believe with this event, the whole world will better appreciate the importance of Ibeji (twins) as special children and gifts from God. Around them, twins moved in procession to show off their colourful outfits as magic displays and masquerades also entertained the crowds.
