Oko and Akweley behind their special table set up for them during the Twins Festival of the Ga people (A tribe located in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana). The table has the horns of the goat specially killed for them for the celebration, a bottle of local alcohol and eggs. Under the table is a bowl which contains specific leaves soaked in water which is later used to cleanse the twins to symbolise fresh birth and renewal of their spirits and more good luck.

The twins Festival precedes the Homowo celebrations. Twins are considered special and a sign of good luck in every home.
