Product Description
by Leo Agwu (Author)
Abe and Abi were born twins. The twins were taken into a deep forest without clothing and left to be killed and eaten by wild animals or used as a sacrifice. Abe and Abi cried for their parents for comfort and food, but in vain-just because they were born twins. This barbaric act was carried out by the man responsible for their birth, their father. This was because having twins was considered a curse that befell the family, and that family would be excommunicated by the rest of the community if such evil of having twins ever came to light. This was the belief of some cities in the eastern part of Nigeria in the olden days, until the arrival of a missionary from Scotland by the name of Mary Mitchell Slessor. Mary made the people see twins as a blessing rather than a taboo by preaching and teaching. She stopped people from abandoning twins in the forest to be killed and eaten by animals or used as a sacrifice. May the soul of Mary Mitchell Slassor rest in perfect peace. Amen.
