Stacy and Babajide, a couple from Lagos, Nigeria, were excited about expanding their family and hoped for a brother for their beloved daughter. However, a routine ultrasound revealed a surprise they never saw coming.
Stacy was thrilled to discover she was expecting twins, but the real shock came on the day of delivery. At 31 years old, she could never have imagined what awaited her at the hospital.
When Stacy arrived for her scheduled cesarean section, she was eager to meet her baby boys, Daniel and David Omirin. But as soon as she saw them, she was left speechless. The twins, born just minutes apart on February 26th, 2019, were truly one of a kind.
What made them so extraordinary wasn’t their shared brown eyes, but rather their striking differences. Daniel was born with dark skin and curly black hair, a resemblance to their older sister Demilade. In stark contrast, David arrived with fair skin and golden curls, an appearance that stunned everyone in the room.
Both Stacy and Babajide, of African descent, were shocked by their twin sons’ vastly different looks.
“We had no idea they would look so different until they were born,” Stacy explained in an interview. “The ultrasound didn’t show anything unusual, so it was a total surprise when Daniel was born with dark hair, and David followed with golden hair.”
She recalled the moment of delivery: “I had a C-section, and the doctors immediately said, ‘It looks like you’re having completely unidentical twins.’ Soon, nurses started coming in just to see them.”
The twins’ unique appearance often causes confusion. Stacy shared that many people have difficulty believing both children are hers, or that Babajide is their father.
When the twins were born, Stacy was overwhelmed with joy and didn’t initially focus on their strikingly different appearances. She remembers vividly when Daniel was born.
“Daniel came first, and then the nurse said the second baby had golden hair. I thought, ‘How is that possible?’ I looked down and saw David, and he was all white,” Stacy said in a conversation with The Daily Mail.
Stacy was thrilled, but she wondered how Babajide would react. His response melted her heart.
He was so moved that he immediately gave David the nickname “Golden.” “He affectionately calls him Mr. Golden,” Stacy explained. Babajide stood there staring at his sons for over ten minutes, filled with joy and awe at the miracle before him. He called them the greatest gift he had ever received and marveled at God’s amazing creation.
Despite their radically different appearances, Daniel and David are full-blooded brothers. David was born with oculocutaneous albinism, a rare hereditary condition characterized by a lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair.
While Stacy, a mother of three, initially had concerns about David’s health and how others might perceive him, the twins have thrived. Albinism can sometimes lead to challenges such as sensitivity to sunlight and vision problems, but fortunately, David has not experienced any major health issues.
In Nigeria, there are an estimated two million people with albinism, a significant portion of the population. According to the World Health Organization, one in five thousand to fifteen thousand people in Sub-Saharan Africa are born with albinism. In North America and Europe, the prevalence is about one in 20,000.
Living with albinism in Nigeria can sometimes be difficult due to social prejudice and misunderstandings, but thankfully, Stacy and her family have not faced any such challenges.
Although the twins are best friends, their personalities differ greatly. David is quiet and observant, while Daniel is outgoing and enjoys eating. Despite these differences, both brothers share an equal amount of kindness and charm.
“Excuse me, madam, which of the children is yours?” is a common question Stacy receives. She smiles and replies, “They’re both mine.” People are often left in disbelief. Stacy admits, “I was as shocked as anyone when they were born. I didn’t know what to expect when the doctor said they weren’t identical twins. But it was amazing to see how different they looked. Even now, I’m still in awe of them.”
