These twins were born last saturday, 20th of February, 2010 in Ningi, Bauchi State.
They share an anus and as you can see have 2 normal legs and 2 deformed ones. They are travelling to Maiduguri to undergo radiological tests and assessments to see if they can be seperated. Even if they can, I doubt if our Nigerian doctors have the expertise to do that, as there are hardly any conjoined twins born in Nigeria.
There's nothing being done at the moment to help except the Local Government Chairman sponsoring the trip to Maiduguri, drugs and food. So please help them any way you can, the best solution would be for them to travel and get the competent medical care they need.
I'll update you with the results of the tests as soon as they are forwarded to me inshaAllah.

by gogannaka and i thought its something we should all see and feel
the situation of these twins and if there is anything anyone can do
should at least do it. All comments, questions and clarification should
be directed at Gogannaka, please.
Salam,
It's so pity, wallahi. I read about them on Daily Trust some days ago. But I fear nothing can be done to separate them as it could be viewed; they are too tightly attached to each other.
Allah ya kyauta, amin.
Right now they are in Maiduguri and have undergone the radiology tests and are waiting for the results.
A hospital in Saudi has offered to do the separation for nearly free.
People have really shown interest in contributing.Allah ya saka musu da alheri.
