Nigeria celebrates annual World Twins Festival

Every year, a sleepy town 50 miles north of Lagos, Nigeria, holds the World Twins Festival. It's a celebration of the community's unusually high rate of twin births - about 50 twins per thousand babies compared to an average of about 12 around the world. Host Carolyn Beeler has more information about the festival held last week.
