Having noticed that they are never separated, always found walking together and they speak good English, it appears there is more than meets the eye.
The corps member wrote;
This happens to be the weirdest situation I’ve seen in my entire life. I have been trying to get this shot for the past five months and whenever I tried, they either walk past too quickly, change direction, or not just close enough.
And that’s how it went.
The first time I saw them here in Ogoja, my heart melted, I was livid. And my mind wandered, searching for the closest guess as to why a whole family, husband, wife, and three beautiful children would be plagued with INSANITY.
WHY!

At other times I may be on a bike and whenever I ask the cyclist to go slow so I can get a shot of them, he’ll be like “Hmmm, Abeg o, I nor fit stop this bike make u snap o, if the madman catch u, your own Don finish!
My heart could not contain the curiosity, then I began to ask questions. Anytime I drove past them in a car or on a bike, I engage the driver or someone in a conversation about them.
I have seen them trekking long distances under the scorching sun☀, I’ve also met them in the market making enquiries about where they could get a particular item to buy.
They’re never separated, always found walking together, complete family. But the intriguing part is their communication. Jeez! This “MAD” family speak CORRECT QUEENS ENGLISH. They flow in CLEAN grammar. Na this one dey burst my head 🙆
I’ve heard the man instructing one of his children who was walking sluggishly behind him as they trekked down the road; “Hey Dorcas, will you hurry up, C’mon girl, meet up with the pace”. And I marvelled.
At the market, he asked someone for directions and he went; “Hey ma’am, Pls where can I get this and this… ”
As you can see their dreadlocks are twisted, showing that it has lasted for God knows how long 🤷 This means that this madness nor be today. E Don tay! [sic]
A conversation ensued between him and his wife one day and it turned into an argument, people were listening; you’ll be so shocked when you hear what the content of their argument was…
I’ll Brb!
There is no way that the Executive Governor of Rivers State, the State’s Ministry of Health officials, the Federal Ministry of Health officials in the state and the Local Government officials for the locality will not be aware of the insane family”. This shows the level of degeneration of our moral values and the decay of our sense of responsibilities. I’m sure the children are not insane. It is most likely that the man and the woman are separately insane and later got attached before having the children; except if the coupe got involved in money or power ritual. There was one couple like that in Dugbe Market, Ibadan in the 1950s, although they had no children. The Executive Governor and all officials whose responsibilities cover this issue should live up to their responsibilities, please
