In February 3 years ago, when this Nigerian mother of 31 went into labor, she had no idea what she was about to experience. She can now easily tell her identical twin sons apart. Even though they were only minutes apart at birth, Daniel and David look nothing similar.
Both of Stacy and Babajide’s children, who are black and reside in Lagos, are albinos. Due to their distinct appearances, the adorable twins consistently capture attention wherever they go. Daniel resembles his 5-year-old big sister Demilade, with dark skin and black curly hair, while David is remarkably fair-skinned with pale skin and golden locks. Stacy chose to document the unique antics of the twins on Instagram, and within just a year, the twins had amassed nearly 18,000 followers.
Birth of the twins on February 26 of last year came as a complete shock to everyone.
“We did not know about their differences while I was pregnant, the scan did not show such so it was a huge surprise and the most amazing moment when the first twin (Daniel) came out with black hair and the second twin (David) came out with gold hair. I had them through CS, so the doctors were like: “It seems you are having totally unidentical twins.” Before I knew it, nurses started coming out to look at them,” mum of three, Stacy, told Bored Panda.
One of the twins was black and the other was white, so it was impossible to tell them apart.
Stacy’s husband’s response to this turn of events is touching, and she shared it with us.
“Their dad was really overwhelmed and immediately named My Twin 2 (David) ‘Golden,’ so he fondly calls him Mr. Golden. He was all overjoyed seeing his boys. He stood for more than 10 minutes staring at them and said he was just looking at God’s wonderful work and that they are his best gift ever.”
