A young Nigerian man, Emmanuel Rowland has taken to Facebook to express his utter shock and dismay after finding out at the lapse of 2 decades of his young life, what about him his parents have been hiding from him.
Like a classic Nollywood story, Emmanuel, 21, pictured right, grew up believing that he was an only child. According to him, growing up without a brother or sister made him lonely, and the experience was very difficult for him, but 21 years down the line, he finds out, he actually has a brother, and a twin at that.
Emmanuel said he lived with his single mother and did not have any real relationship with his father, as both his parents were separated.
The young man further narrated that he found out about his twin brother in August 2018, when his father called to inform him of the circumstances that led to both parents separating; shortly after he and his twin brother were born.
The pair have now reunited after 21 years and Emmanuel says he and his twin, who was not named, are the best twin brothers in the world.
