Twins Marry Twins, Deliver Twins Days Apart

By Ella Makondo

Identical twins, Saidu Yusuf (Taye) and Saadu Yusuf (Kehinde) who married a set of twins from Daura, Katsina State have each welcomed a set of twins!

One of the male twins, Saidu speaking in an interview opened up on the significant union of the twins and revealed how a man called Mallam Zakariya linked them with their twins wives in 2014.

He told Saturday Punch:

“It was in January 2014. A man called Mallam Zakariya linked us with our twin wives. They are from Katsina State, precisely from Daura (hometown of the President, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd). Zakariya was a friend to the elder brother of our wives. We later met with them and some months, we got married on August 30, 2014.  We married the same day and it was a remarkable.

“We actually desired to marry twins as twins too. But we knew that it was only a desire and only God could make such to become a reality. We had non-twins as girlfriends. But how we married twins was God’s plan. It was sudden and beyond our understanding.

Saidu who also spoke on their early childhood said they are indigenes of  Jigawa State but were born and raised in Jos.

“Our childhood was smooth and fun. We were obedient and people loved our ways because of how we were raised. We never used our being  identical to play any pranks on anyone.”

“We are twins and married to twins. By tradition and Islamic background, we underwent different Islamic schools. We also went to the Islamic College, Jos. Plateau State, Government College, Birnin Kudu, Jigawa State, School of Health Sciences and Technology, Jahun, Jigawa State, where we bagged a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology and the Maryam Abacha American University of Niger for a degree in Medical Laboratory Science. We later proceeded to the Federal School of Medical Laboratory Technology (Science), Jos, for additional training. We practise as medical laboratory scientists.

 “We studied the same course so that we wouldn’t be separated while schooling. We never fought for once, however, we do have different opinions on some issues but such would never affect our daily routine or interactions.’’

 Saidu’s wife, Hassana, also speaking said that she and her twin sister were born and raised in Daura town where they also attended primary school.

According to her ,  they attended the Government Girls Secondary School, Ragogo, Katsina State and the Yusuf Bala Usman College of Legal and General Studies, Daura, where they studied Hausa-Islamic and graduated in 2014.

“We are extremely happy, proud and feel lucky to be married to twins like us,” she said.

Remarkably the two couples were delivered of their own sets of twins within two days.

Saadu revealed that his wife gave birth to female twins who were named Nasibah and Nusaibah on June 15, 2015, while his brother, Saidu’s wife was also delivered of male twins on June 17, 2015. The male twins were named Sahl and Suhail.
