Dr. Sina spills more details about Igboora

In an earlier tweet, Dr. Sina claimed the yam contains clomiphene which stimulates the ovaries in women to produce an egg, thereby increasing the chance of twins.

The doctor said Igboora has so many twins that even animals like goats, sheep, rams, etc., can also have twins.

Social media reactions

@Yinkzworld2 replied:

"Igboora is a sacred land for twins, whatever mystery behind that is only known to God. There is no family without twins, and I doubt if there are many barren in the land. It's one of the mystery that even science will find it to give full answers to."
