Interesting article!! Just like "Igbo Ora", there is a village in India named "Kodinhi" where almost every family gave birth to a pair of twins.
I myself have seen a woman giving birth to just 2 sets of twins when I was posted in the gynecology department.
About the village, I don't think food plays any major role, genetics might be the key.

Would be interesting to know if those twins in igbó ora and Kodinhi are fraternal, identical, or a mix of the two. If there are identical twins, it will throw up an interesting hypothesis to research on. Bùt I really doubt. Just wondering why there are limited research into these incidence of high twins in some places when compared to others.
I was about to say the same as @gentleshaid. Is there any study made on the village?
It's a mix of two actually,
it was during an oral hygiene camp in 2016 I guess, more than 50 pairs of twins showed up. Doctors were surprised and later found out, more than 350 pairs of twins were living there in the population of just 2000.
Sadly, i couldn't find a single research paper on this topic.
Too bad no one undertook any research on that... But well... it is what it is. Thanks for the specifications.
