Ayopo Ogunleye, who has fathered five sets of twins, has become something of a local celebrity in western Nigeria.He told BBC Yoruba he was now bringing up his children alone in the Ado-odo area of Ogun state as his wife left years ago after her parents complained that she was having too many twins.
Now in his 40s, he is raising seven children as the couple lost the first set of twins as infants and a boy from the last set also died.
Mr Ogunleye said he had not been expecting twins the first time his wife conceived and was surprised when he was called from the hospital.
“When I heard that my wife had given birth, I asked if it was a boy or girl, and they said I had twins.”
This was a dream come true for him.
“I had been praying about it from childhood, I gave thanks to God. I hugged my wife and congratulated her.”
The Yoruba community, mainly found in western Nigeria, has one of the highest rates of twin births in the world.
Twins are called “Ibeji” and culturally they believe they have to be followed by a single birth – known as “Idowu”.
But Mr Ogunleye said each time his wife became pregnant, it was twins.
“Second time twins, third time twins, fourth twins, fifth twins,” he said.
The reason for having so many twins remains a mystery to him: he says he does not eat anything special or do anything differently to others.
Despite the financial and physical constraints of raising so many children, he would like to have more and hasn’t ruled out marrying again.
“Children are blessings from God,” he said.

Yes. Most good poker sites offer ‘free to play’ games where you can try out the various games for free before making a real money deposit. Most big sites also offer daily poker freerolls where you can win cash without paying to enter the tournaments. Casino.org also hosts a number of exclusive weekly freerolls for its visitors. While the app is straightforward and easy to navigate, there aren’t many tables for Sit & Go’s and tournaments at odd hours, and oftentimes there are no cash game tables for certain stakes. The chat box could also use a bit of fine tuning. Regardless, for a real money poker app, World Series of Poker delivers what it claims to. The other option is playing at one of the many Chinese Mobile Poker Apps such as Pokermaster as well as on the best Chinese Poker Sites like GGPoker, Natural8, and Red Star.
