Igbo Ora, a town ín Oyo State, Western Nigeria, has the highest number of twins in the world. The town, a small 80 kilometers from Lagos, made up of mostly farmers and traders. It is considered the Twin capital of the world. Image
Because more twins are born in Igbo-Ora than anywhere else in the world, walking through the town might make you feel like you are seeing double. Almost every house has at least one set of twins.
The production and birth of two children from the same pregnancy is still relatively uncommon. Because one cannot predict if a woman should expect twins, it is also considered special phenomenon. Igbo-Ora makes one think that there might be a secret to getting twins after all.

Flags of West African countries. #Thread

Looks like West African countries went to the same Tailor to get their flags done. Can't blame the Tailor.

Ghana must have arrived first and given a black star patched in Yellow, Green and Red.
Then came Senegal: You see what you gave Ghana, yes, vertical of her. Give it to me quickly.

Tailor : Star as well?

Senegal: Yes please Make it green though.
Tailor: Who is next?

Mali: It's Me. Fram the Land of Mansa Musa. Richest man to ever walk on planet earth.

Tailor: OK Rich boy, how do you want yours?

Mali:Just remove the star from Ghana and give Me what you are left with

Tailor: Aah! You are not only rich, you are Lazy too!

Sara's life was of hardship. She was born in 1789 in the Camdeboo valley in the eastern part of the Cape Colony in South Africa. It is commonly thought she was born in the Gamtoos valley, but she moved there with her family only years after her birth.
her mother died when she was two and her father, a cattle driver, died when she was an adolescent. She got into domestic service in Cape Town after a Dutch colonist murdered her partner, with whom she had had a baby who died.

Ruby Bridges, born September 8 1954. Sixty one years ago, at only 6 years old, she was the first Black child to desegregate the all white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis on 14 November 1960. Image
Ruby Bridges is only 67 years old. The people who threw rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school are now upset that their grandchildren might learn about them throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school. Image

African King, Mansa Abubakar II discovered Americas in 1312. 180 years before Columbus
The Italian sailor / explorer Christopher Columbus has a renowned reputation as the discoverer of the new world in every simple history lesson. This has been globally recognized for over 500 years to date. Education has been in the possession of Europeans
who many believe have imposed what has enriched them while scorning or changing what has not been done. As the waves of awareness begin to spread, several “European” expeditions have now seen their acclaimed achievements with doubt.
