I met the only surviving twin saved by Mary Slessor over 100 years ago (Video)


Mary Slessor was a missionary posted from Scotland to Calabar in Nigeria by the Presbyterian Church in 1876. She also lived in Arochukwu Nigeria during her missionary work. Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them.
One of the twin babies Mary Slessor saved by herself before the killing of twins was finally abolished is Mgbeafor Okereke. I met her in her home in Amasu, Arochukwu, where I had an amazing interaction with her.

internationalman:


You would have said the same thing if there was killing for money ritual and they stopped it.. How is killing of twins more barbaric than killing and extractibg body parts for money ritual..

Nigerians are barbaric and might have still been killing twins if they didn't stop it..

Everything the colonial masters changed positively or negatively, still have a lasting effects till date. That's why we are still unknowingly slaves to them.

And you think a whiteman doesn't kill humans for ritual purposes?

See this one you are here quoting up and down where were you on other thread about the train bombing, make God punish all of you terrorist apologist cos it's your pay master's state, you avioded that thread. May God punish all the enemies of Nigeria, hypocrite who only run their mouth when it's not about their party, May your life only revolve around the 30k that's being paid to you. May all of you not grow beyond 30k since you guys can sell your conscience and destroy this country.

Replicas of what would have become of us can be found in Papau New Guinea :

No mind this people speaking rubbish, when you don hear say they cut person head do ritual for over there?

Face the truth the white brought development to Africa and most of the African leaders are greedy and self, that's why we here today.

Is all tribe and but thy help to stop it. I'm Twins and my mom told me Twins re brand as Bad luck and witch even unto this days. There is a difference between those who are send by the church and d government of England. But one thing is clear better than to be colonies by dem and than be slaughter by the Usman Dan fodio

ednut1:
we should not always believe the white man's version of history. The missionaries were sent not to help us but to help spread Christianity and conduct reconnaissance for their white masters so they could enter us easily. The killing of twins was happening in a single village, not the entire tribe or area as its being painted.

That's the effect of Christianity. It brings enlightenment, illumination and sanity to individuals and community that accept it.

Childofaking:
Mary slessor did a great work in Nigeria. On a 10 pounds note in Scotland, is the picture of mary slessor and her missionary route in Nigeria on the other side of the currency, you can see arochukwu clearly written on that currency

I think I still saved the currency

Did She stop the killing of twins in the whole of Nigeria or Africa? Somethings should be removed from history books.

Quite interesting.

But of a truth, if not for the coming of the white man & their influence on blacks, blackman would have still been killing twins & hunting rabbits & Squirrels naked in the bush.

U no sabi anything,na black man open d eyes of d white man u dey call master. Na white man dey do all dos nonsense.
My Yoruba people no dey chop human and walk unclothed but I hia say for some place like iboland and ur place, dem dey chop people and walk unclothed for before before

That's why most people see our culture and traditions as evil.

Says a black boy who ran away from his shithole to a white mans land for a better life - who would have been in a jungle today, faraway in Africa, wrapped in Banana leafs and chasing rats about in the bush, if it were not for Whites who can to the transformation of his blackman's continent.

Ungrateful black race!
Is this a matter of white man's version of history or what we see day to day?
With the help of technology, civilization, advancement and good examples all around for black race to follow, even in this year 2022, Africans can not still achieve the minutest progress and development, on their own, for themselves and their society.

Guy you lied...
I'm Igbo, my uncle was a twin and we know how he narrowly escaped

ETHICALLYrlght:
If Mary Slessor really did prevent her infanticide, it means she's not less than 107 years old because Mary Slessor died on January 1915.

I've always doubted reports of Nigerians living up to 100+ because of the life expectancy stats published by international organizations. The record of the oldest person in the world is 118 years and if this woman is at least 107 and she isn't even regarded as the oldest Nigerian then low rate of violent crimes and good record keeping Nigerians may compete for the crown.

exactly my reasoning too

Yoruba don’t kill twins sir

Was there any killing of twins anywhere in Nigeria? Was it stopped by the aforementioned woman?

Please, take the moral story and leave unnecessary grandstanding

Nigerialabalaba:
"Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria Calabar and she achieved this by saving a lot of twins either left in the bush to die or from their homes where their mothers hid them."




OP and mods, abeg help us edit the error o. Na for Calabar dem dey kill twins and still dey kill twins today for Calabar till today
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/02/witchcraft-man-to-die-by-hanging-for-poisoning-11-year-twin-daughters-in-cross-river/amp/
but no be for Nigeria abeg.
Killing of twins neva stop for Calabar o
she no stop shishi!

For Yorubaland, twins are given special courtesies and endearment so tey dem dey pray for every new bride to born twins.
So many Yoruba songs, oriki and proverbs praise ibeji (twins) so tey dey are regarded as dieties to be worhipped for fertility.

Some families get up to 4 generations of twins for Yorubaland and na Yorubaland even get the highest rate of multiple births for the whole world.
For the Yoruba, Twins be like gods and prized gift from orisha ibeji. To maltreat dem sef go fear you let alone kill dem. You touch dem,ur own don cast finish be dat!

Abeg replace the Nigeria with calabar

cc seun lalasticlala dominique mynd44

You head dey there.

KosiGee:


I used to have that note in a wallet I used to have in my backpack. It was given to me as change in Edinburgh and I kept it as souvenir…lost it when I lost my bag in one of the trains. Recovered my bag at Waterloo station after two weeks but the £10 was gone.

When i saw that note in Edinburg i shouted and i said i was going to come home with it, but i spent it before returning to Nigeria.

Great stuff

You're probably not vast in history, no offence. Before the coming of the whites we had advanced empires all over Africa, The Egyptian civilisation was part of the earliest and most advanced of the old civilisation they invented a form of writing which was copied by the summerians who then invented modern writing.
The brass of the Bini people of the 16th century had no rival in the world, they were so advanced and beautiful that the Europeans had to steal and kill for it.

You mean southerners

A calabar monarch stopped the killing of twins... Not Mary Slessor.

MSHEWW

Please, she didn't stop the killing of twins in Nigeria. She did so in Okoyong, an area in Cross River, where there were still pockets of killings carried out by some. Twin killings had long been banned in Calabar by King Archibong II right from 1856 long before Mary Slessor arrived the shores of Calabar
