Twins

=__Thomas Strosser-Twin Murder__=


 * I**gbo People are practitioners of twin abomination, or twin murder (What a bunch of Jerks!)**
 * **Twin Murder is the exposure or suffication of multiple new born babies, whose bodies were then disposed of in the ojoo ofiao or "bad bush" or the evil forest of the town**
 * **Having multiple births is considered an abomination against Ala/Ani, the earth god, and can lead to severe trouble with the law for both parents, especially mothers**
 * **After birth, the mother of the twins went through "cleansing" rituals to "purify" her from the abomination**
 * **Missionaries see twin abomination as a crime against Christianity and eradicating twin killing became one of the main mission causes in southeastern Nigeria**
 * **In Igbo culture multiple births were considered to be what animals should produce and single births were considered to be what humans should produce**
 * **The Igbo saw this as part of their culture, and if they changed it they believed the heavens would come crashing down on them**
 * **Today this practice has been eradicated or discontinued**
