“Wetin Be This?” – 25-Year-Old Nigerian Lawyer Stunned As Her 60-Year-Old Father Welcomes Twins
A 25-year-old Nigerian lawyer has captured the attention of social media after revealing that her 60-year-old father recently welcomed a set of twins. The lawyer, who goes by @The_Barr_OluT on X (formerly Twitter), shared the heartwarming yet surprising family news, leaving many online users stunned.
In her post, she expressed both joy and disbelief at becoming a big sister at her “big age,” while humorously distancing herself from any parental responsibilities for her new siblings.
“My daddy is 60. His child… sorry… children are a day old. So when they are 20 years, he’d be 80. When they are 15, their immediate elder sister (me) will be 40. Wetin be this?” she wrote, alongside a series of laughing emojis.
The post quickly went viral, with users reacting with amazement, congratulations, and laughter. Some shared similar experiences of having much younger siblings, while others marveled at the blessing of having new additions to the family at such a unique stage in life.
The lawyer also shared how her colleagues at work found the situation amusing after she took time off to celebrate the twins’ birth.
Having lost her mother 11 years ago, she admitted to worrying about the age gap, noting that her father will be 80 when the twins turn 20. Nonetheless, her lighthearted approach to the situation struck a chord with many, with her tweets sparking a wave of laughter and well wishes across the platform.
This unexpected family dynamic has left many online users reflecting on the joys and surprises that come with parenthood at any age.
