Hannah says her black and white daughters now turn heads whenever she takes them out.
She constantly has to explain that the 10 month old girls are hers and that they are in fact twins as it is a rare occurrence, said to have a million to one chance of happening.
She spoke on the attention they got and how happy she is to have one of each, she said:
“Kyle is mixed-race and I’m white, so from the word go, our friends joked: ‘What would you do if one came out dark and the other was fair?’ Laughing it off, I replied ‘I don’t think it’s very likely!’ Now our girls turn heads wherever they go and it is not just because they are so cute”,
“I can’t walk down the aisle at the supermarket without getting stopped. People always comment, ‘Are they both yours?’, ‘are they sisters’, ‘are they related? As well as looking different Anaya and Myla are already developing their own personalities”. Myla is always on the move, she’s already crawling, although backwards, while Anaya’s more laid back”,
“We can’t believe they’re twins, they’ve got the same birthday and the same mum and dad but they’re just complete opposites in every way.”
She added:
“At first, both the girls had a purple tone to their skin, but they looked darker so I assumed they’d both taken after Kyle. But after two weeks, it was clear Myla takes after her dad with dark skin, brown eyes and brunette locks, while Anaya is more of a mummy’s girl with a pale complexion, fair hair and light eyes. We couldn’t believe it. Kyle and I told all of our relatives and friends, ‘We’ve got one of each.

Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has reportedly returned to his base in Belgium where he will continue to coach, after accusing his staff of witchcraft. – Vanguard Reports
Oliseh reportedly contracted a virus in one of his official assignments, which he allegedly blamed on occultic manipulations by his enemies.
He allegedly said there were attempts on his life and has vowed to flee far from the country to where they could not fly to attack him.
“He is always scared in camp and suspicious of even members of his back room staff”, a close source to the team informed.
The source said that the outspoken coach allegedly confronted his staff and warned them that there were many witches and wizards who were trying to undermine the success of the Eagles.
“He warned those fond of putting their hands in their pockets before shaking him to desist or keep their handshakes as he feared they touch objects concealed in their pockets before offering to shake him”, the source said.
Also, the coach alleged that many of the people surrounding him do not believe in the success of the team as he claimed that they don’t rejoice when the Eagles score goals.
Beyond the trivial accusations of witches and wizards, Sports Vanguard also gathered that the coach had written to the federation to pay his outstanding N10 million accommodation fee as agreed in his contract(N5 million for 2015 and another N5 million for 2016) if they want him to reside in Nigeria as he said he would not stay in the hotels when the Super Eagles are not in camp.
