Their super powers: some African people believe that twins have super powers in which it was one of the main reason why twins are been killed in the pasts days in Africa. For example it is believe that twin can stop a food from cooking even if it is kept on the fire for over 24 hours, and also the can make a person to fall ill mostly the person the hate and sometime the have ability to see ghost.
The last born is the true senior: in Africa the is a believe that the first twin to be giving birth is not the youngest, it is believe that the other twin send the first to go and check if the place is good for them to be born, if the first one dies when his been born the other baby in the stomach would not live also.
How to destroy the powers: it is believe that the only way that their powers can be destroy is by passing food to them through the window or fence, when they are little children, because they may hardly accept it when they are old.
Their dead :when one of the twin die their mother would travel to a far place with the other twin, because it Is believe that the other twin spirit would force the other twin to die also has the come together the always love to go together .

Do you have twin?

Nope but i have some naughty twin cousins,

Some beliefs are very confusing to most, sadly I have heard about some that do not accept the birth of twins.

Albino's are another that suffer at the hand of man made laws. Based on myth and superstition. Witch doctors believe they have magical powers, kill these poor people for just that!
