The Full Gist

Omo, make I tell you how this breaking news updates slapped us with shock. The TikTok user @tbque01 shared:

“My paternal grandma is such an OG. … how this woman got away with having two families without either husband finding out still amazes me.”

She said grandma was a trader “traveller in the ’80s,” switching between Ibadan and Kaduna. Each city had six children — that’s 12 kids in total! Only when grandma passed and her obituary hit Facebook did things explode. The other set of kids reached out to her first family, asking, “Is she a twin?” Nobody suspected until then.

“Four of the kids traveled down to Ibadan…Her alias was ‘Iya Kaduna’ here and ‘Iya ilu oke’ in Kaduna.”

We got to know when she passed on and we posted her obituary on Facebook, the other kids reached out to my father who is her first child and asked if my grand mum was a twin, my dad said no and that was where everything bursted. Four of the kids traveled down to Ibadan and insisted they see her body and they came with pictures and videos evidences. My grandma died at 70 but she still goes to kaduna and back every now and then. Her alias was “Iya kaduna” here and “Iya ilu oke” in kaduna. It’s such a long story that I can’t even put all the details here. But believe it or not ten is happening. Her two husbands are still alive though.
