In February, a 31-year-old Nigerian woman, Stacy, gave birth to surprising identical twins with distinct appearances. The twins, Daniel and David, born a few minutes apart, differ significantly. David has albinism, making him notably white with golden hair, while Daniel resembles his older sister with dark skin and black curly hair.
Stacy shared her unexpected discovery during the birth and her husband’s emotional reaction. Albinism, affecting 1 in 20,000 infants, results from a lack of melanin, causing pigmentation changes.
David’s albinism doesn’t pose health issues, but Nigeria faces challenges with over two million albinism cases and prevalent discrimination. Despite their unique features, the family embraces and celebrates the twins, receiving modeling offers. Stacy aims to raise awareness through an Instagram account, emphasizing the twins’ distinct personalities and playfulness at over a year old.
