This 31-year-old Nigerian mother had an unexpected journey after giving birth to her twin sons, Daniel and David, in February. Despite being born just minutes apart, the twins are completely unrelated, as both are albinos. While Daniel resembles his elder sister with dark skin and black curly hair, David stands out with pale skin and golden hair.
Stacy shared their unique story on Instagram, garnering nearly 18,000 followers in a year. The twins’ birth was a surprise, and their distinct appearances immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Only 1 in 20,000 newborns have albinism, making David’s case highly unusual. Albinism results from the absence of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes, and it can affect people of all ethnic backgrounds.
Nigeria has a high prevalence of albinism, but it’s a community that still faces discrimination and bias. Despite this, Stacy and her family love and support both sons unconditionally.
The twins’ unique features have attracted modeling agencies in the UK, and the family has created an Instagram account to raise awareness and share their story. Daniel is outgoing, while David is more observant, but they both have boundless curiosity and energy.
In sharing their journey, Stacy and her family hope to shed light on important issues and embrace opportunities that come their way.
