The Killing of Twins in Africa
The killing of twins was a social practice among a few ethnic gatherings in Nigeria, transcendently among the Efik people. Bringing forth twins was viewed as a terrible sign that could bring obliteration or catastrophe upon society. Twin children were accepted not to be humans, and were viewed as evil. In a few far off regions, killing of twins is accepted to be a myth. In the 21st 100 years, it is accepted that killing of twins as a penance actually exists among those living in Nigeria's government capital territory.
