Chika and Onyekachi Odita are no just twins but a special
breed. While some of their mates are busy throwing tantrums,
they are busy holding and ‘trying to read’ a novel
during their sister’s graduation ceremony. Although,
at four years and in kindagerten, and may not be able to decipher
the meaning of what was contained in the James Hardly Chase
novel, the interesting thing was that they held on to the
book as if their lives depended on it.
Both pupils of Genesis Private School, Aborenge, Lagos, Mrs.
Gloria Odita told Daily Sun that the twins are the last of
her four children.
“They both like Indomie with fried plantain and their
best subject is English Language. Chika loves colour pink,
while Onyekachi prefers blue. They prefer reading to doing
their Arithmetic homework.”
According to her, the twins has formed the habit of reading
their elder sister’s books even though they may not
understand the content.
When Daily Sun inquired from the twins what they want to be
in the nearest future, Chika, who was the outspoken, told
Daily Sun that she wants to be a lawyer, while their mother,
added that Onyekachi once told her that she wants to be a
medical doctor.
At the last graduation ceremony, the twins were the star attraction
because of their hair style, cloth and their ‘reading’
of the novel.
