"TWIN BROTHERS SAGA" We Shared Everything Since Birth. But When Success Knocked, He Opened the Door and Locked Me Out. 1990. Nsukka, Nigeria. My name is Chinedu. I was born three minutes before my twin brother, Chibuzo. We shared a womb, a crib, and a destiny — or so I thought. Growing up, we were inseparable. When I cried, he cried. When I laughed, he echoed it. But by the time we turned 18, life had begun drawing a line between us — one I didn’t see coming. Chibuzo was charming, loud, extroverted. I was the quiet one. The planner. The dreamer.

But I didn’t mind. I believed love covered everything. Until love became a sword. 2008. University of Nigeria, Nsukka We both gained admission into UNN. He studied Mass Communication. I studied Computer Science. While he partied and flirted, I stayed up studying. I helped him write his projects. Helped him pass a carryover. Even covered his debt once when he used his school fees to impress a girl. That girl? Adaora. She was stunning. Bright eyes. Soft voice. Gentle soul. She was the first woman I truly loved. I told Chibuzo about her. He said: “Ah ah, you? With Adaora? No worry, I go help you arrange am.” I smiled. Grateful. Naively grateful. They started hanging out “on my behalf.” One evening, I went to surprise her. What I saw broke me. They were kissing in front of Zik’s flat. My own brother. My twin.
