Mary attributed the birth of her twin girls to God and expressed an assurance that they were born for a purpose.
The couple, who celebrated their third wedding anniversary in December, had their first daughter, Marvellous, on November 19, 2013, a source revealed.

According to the mother of three, Marvellous has had a normal relationship with her siblings. The day Mary took her along to the hospital; she said Marvellous played with her sisters like any child would.

”After the birth, I was told that they were conjoined, but it was two weeks later that I saw the children face-to-face. I delivered the babies by caesarean section. While I was in the hospital recuperating, the babies were transferred to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital.

It was a week after that I went there to see them and I was happy because they are strong; it was just that they are conjoined.

Will I question God? What will I do as their mother? God gave them to me,” she said
